I like these new plates
The difference between dumbbell curls with 20 lbs in each hand and curls with 30lbs in each hand is amazing.
I love being able to see my veins standing up on my arms. Wow, that’s kinda gross, but what the hell. Gotta take the cheap thrills where I can.
What’s surprising is how much my legs hurt after carrying the plates home. Between the trek down Market Street and the distance from the J Church stop and home I carried that extra 40 pounds about a mile and a half.
Ooooo veins! Take a pic. I
Ooooo veins! Take a pic. I wanna see!
I used to lift weights (although that was a short-lived affair and the weights were no more than 10lb) but I couldn’t sustain the energy level that required. I’m much too lazy to follow a fitness program of any sort.
I hope you will stick to yours, however. I will be cheering you on, my friend.
I tried taking some pictures
I tried taking some pictures for you today, but the light wasn’t right. Here are some old ones, but even still, you can’t really see all the veins as they are when I’m actually in motion, and I was totally unsuccessful with the “camera in one hand and a dumbbell in the other” maneuver, so this is all you get for now.
