heh-heh-heh, was at chem tuition trying to be smarter than I really am. anyway to prove I'm not as
bimbotic as sala thinks, today's post is in I shall add as much
blue as it is possible to this post.
so anyway, your pt rep is here with numb arms and
(great/bad) news:
I have decided after testing out in front of my guffawing brother, an
alternative to push-ups in our pt schedule, or if you guys are
hiong enough we'll just include this as part of self pt on slacker days.
Basically, we'll use
weights, and the best part we don't have to go and buy professional metal alloy weights (: see the
1.5 litre bottles lying around your homes? Well, go collect two and fill them up with
SAND. yes
SAND! because (i'm not sure how much they weigh) they are really
quite heavy, 2kg plus. Go steal sand from the nearest sandpit or our friendly neighbour Indonesia. I'm really not sure where the difficulty comes from, from the mass or the diameter of the bottle or maybe its just me and my weak arms (so that's why I really need your help in testing it out).
1) Holding the two bottles in both hands, stretch your arms
sideways (LIKE TITANIC) and move them
up and down. Keep arms
straight and go raise your arms as
parallel to ground as possible.

Okay, this
is bimbotic, but I have
NEVER watched Titanic before! so I am
NOT bimbotic. This is a fallacy, bimbos don't know fallacies (:
2) Holding the bottles in both hands,
stretch your arms
in front of you. Raise arms in
up and down motion. Keep arms as
straight and raise them as
parallel to ground as possible.
3) Holding bottles in both hands, raise arms
upwards above head in an
up and down motion. Keep arms as
straight as possible. At
resting position, bottles should be help near head (the ears. It really feels like
pull-ups when you hold the bottles
horizontally !
4) Use bottles to do
bicep curls. Hold bottles in both hands,raise lower arms up and down. Feel your biceps begin to
BURN! Um this is the best description I can come up with.
5) Right, the last one. This is extremely relevant in vball but not in soccer but
optimising muscles to
efficiently smack people is always a
good and
viable method of s
elf defense. Holding bottles in both hands, bring both wrists into an up and down motion,
curling wrists up and down. Kinda like a wrist curl.
Each exercise (1-5, 5 is
extremely optional) is done up to
8 counts. For example, for Exercise 1, at
count 1, raise arms above sides as parallel to the ground as possible; at
count 2, bring them back to
resting position.
Repeat
thrice, best done when
watching television (: Not in front of exercise-obsessed/hyper-muscular person who scorns at puniness.

I bet he despises un-manliness and frankly it's quite
disturbing. but I guess he loves it so ... ... ):
Since my brother claims these weights are
damn light, rare people in
phase three (population : 1, lynette) and
above please
adjust weights accordingly. You can fill up bottles with some sort of
denser material which I can't think of at this moment, but i suppose you can fill up the gaps between sand particles with
water,
cement,
concrete or simply invest in heavier
barbells dumbbells. (: People in
phase one/two (the masses), enjoy the
arm-numbing experience (:
5.5 days holiday! Have fun and have a
profitable auspicious Chinese New Year (:
