Everyday after school I spend an extra hour and a half lifting weights in the school weight room. I see people come in and go out that say they have gotten a good workout by standing around in the weight room socializing for 20 minutes. When I go to the weight room I work hard and I break a sweat. The Weight room isn’t opened though on Fridays while football is going on due to no coaches being able to be in there to supervise the students lifting. Since sometimes things get out of hand.

Then I curl normal weight dumbbells in each arm. The basic bicep workout. Then I move to triceps and forearms. For triceps I have a pyramid workout I like to use.
