(FRIDAY) GOTTA add that lil' extra "OOOMPF!"

 ... 

--> First, I displayed several/UN-numbered finger-stretching exercises with my LEFT hand.


Next, I [finally] showed painLESS arm movements during my 20 LEFT armed hammer curls with a 10 pound dumbbell, 30 [+ 1] RIGHT armed bicep curls then 15 RIGHT armed hammer curls--both with a 15 pound dumbbell.  I performed 10 isometric quadricep extensions--against my trainer's resistance--with my LEFT leg.


--> I explained to my trainer how I like to end each & every set--no matter the exercise:

On ONLY the very LAST repetition, I complete the movement very SLOOOOOWLY then hold the position at its peak.


Then, I proceeded to demonstrate this action on my 30th double legged hamstring curl, on my 20th RIGHT legged hamstring curl, on my 20th LEFT legged hamstring curl, on both 15th reps of my two sets of LEFT armed tricep extensions--with a 10 pound dumbbell, on both 15th reps of my two sets of RIGHT armed tricep extensions (first was 15 lbs then 10 lbs), on my 125*th HIPup (separated into 75 then 50) then, finally, on my 20th calf raise.

Just before this last [calf-] exercise, however, I proceeded to WALK along my parallel bars--one lap each forward, backward, forward, backward then sideways.


--> Finally, I BIKED outside for ~16 minutes.
