for a dude that has no access to a gym right now, how do I get a relatively swole upper body? lower body is already strong enough imho

Check out "convict conditioning"
I've been using it as a supplementary workout to weights and gradually flipping over to doing 80% bodyweight workout 20% weights.
I'm gonna do a three month body weight deal using its recommended progression... Maybe one day a week of weights just because tho'

at a bar, only two people have ever commented on the size of my arms.
1- a dude, who said I looked like a more muscular tom cruise
2- a chick, who said that dudes with big arms tend to have tiny dicks. I told her its only because of my thunder thighs.

After Squats I'm aiming for BW Bench, but it's only at 110 right now and I'm probably gonna end up weight about 190 by the time I'm ready to bench that so it will probably be several months down the road. I'm ok with this though since I'm not gonna be eligible for promotion by the this october's PT test so I really have a whole year to train so I can get swole and then destroy my PT test next year. This year I'm just looking to start up good work out habits again and probably 210 my PT test.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
So the physical therapist thinks a compressed nerve in my back is causing my knee to hurt, and unexpectedly the back stretch she told me to do kind of works. Hopefully I can start running again in a few days, I need to get back in running shape for the 5 mile run assessment in a few weeks.

I'd like to get a weight training set-up for my spare room, but I don't really have the space or cash for a full Olympic rack, so I'm leaning more towards a bench and some adjustable dumbbells. How quickly can I pick up something like that if I'm shopping used? Are the simple spin-lock dumbbells ok, or are the adjustable ones where it's at?

You will find no one to help you here. Beth DuClare has been dissected and placed in cryonic storage.

Keep an eye on craigslist, especially if you're in a college town. I managed a full bench and a bunch of dumbbells for $400ish total. It pays to keep an eye out at the end of semesters when all the brodudes are moving out.

Do you live near a university? Colleges will typically buy new weight lifting equipment every couple years and get rid of perfectly good stuff for pennies on the dollar. University of Maryland has an entire website dedicated just to selling their surplus stuff.

Either last year or the year before that they got rid of every piece of weightlifting equipment the football team had in a garage sale format. They were giving away racks that cost thousands of dollars for < $500.

Starting Strength with three days a week of running is killing my legs. They just feel tired all the time, probably because I'm beating the poo poo out of them regularly.

I looked into 5/3/1 and it seems like it might pair a little better with running since it isn't all squats all the time, but even Wendler said it wasn't made to be paired with running.

At this point I'm tempted to buy Tactical Barbell training to read it, even if the name sounds dumb. I just want to get stronger, faster, and get some relaxing LSD runs at the same time. Apparently that's too much to ask.

Did you find a solution? Because I'm having the same problem. How is a "strength+running+rest+have a life" program suppose to look like?
I do the starting strength during my lunch break and run 10km after work, followed by a rest day. Rinse and repeat. That sort of works but it renders me useless in the evenings. I foam roll and do yoga in my rest days.
Thinking of trying strength training and running on alternative days but then when do I rest?! o.O
