Brain: Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday
Me: Time to go sweat
Brain: Right on Fat Man
Me: Guess what we’re doing today?
Brain: ..duh, going to the gym
Me: Correct! But I have a surprise today.
Brain: I really don’t like surprises so just tell me now
Me: Okay. Today we’re introducing free weights into our training
Brain: I don’t like change. What are these “Free weights?”
Me: Free refers to the type of apparatus. For example, barbells, kettlebells and dumbbells are names of some of the weights.
Brain: You’re a dumbbell
Me: Don’t be a jerk
Brain: I have a question about these “free” weights.
Me: What’s your question?
Brain: Do you pay a fee to go to the gym?
Me: Yes
Brain: Then the weights at the gym aren’t exactly free
Me: Shut up
Brain: Dumbbells, hehehehe, what the hell do you do with them?
Me: You lift them up and down.
Brain: Then what?
Me: That’s all
Brain: What good do they do?
Me: They help build muscle mass
Brain: Hey fat man, do you really want to add mass? LOL
Me: Shut up. It’s a good thing to replace fat with muscle mass
Brain: (In its best “Arnold” voice) , “Let me pump you uuuuppp.”
Me: Shut up
Brain: Dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells oh my!
Me: Relax. We’ll lift first and then do the elliptical
Brain: Whatever your royal fattitude
…Picking up a set of dumbbells we start with a set of dumbbell bench presses before moving to arm curls, shoulder press, rows and some tricep work
Brain: Is that all you can lift?
Me: Huh?
Brain: Dude, why even bother with that light a weight
Me: Shut up, I haven’t done these in a while and don’t want to hurt myself
Brain: Seriously dude, you are embarrassing
Me: Shut up
Brain: Yawn. You really call this exercise
Me: I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work
Brain: This is dumb
Me: Go away would ya?
Brain: I tried to go away but you keep bringing me back
Me: No I didn’t
Brain: Yes you did.
Me: Whatever
Brain: You done with this stupid weights of free thing?
Me: Sure, and they’re not stupid
Brain: blah, blah, blah….let’s go sweat
Me: Okay
Brain: Maybe even make the sweat sweat. hehehehe
Me: Whatever
