Purple dumbbells. I know it sounds silly, but they have made my month.

My upper arms have always been a travesty. Not only do I have the aging batwings going on, they are extra meaty and flabby. It’s like a second arm hanging off my bicep. GROSS! About a month ago I added ten pounds of dumbbells (purple, of course) at my desk and 4-5 times a day I pick them up. I do 2×10 reps of 5 lbs presses, 2×10 reps of 10 lbs presses, 2×10 overhead triceps presses, and 2×10 curls. It’s wild, and I get sore, but it’s a good kind of sore.

I’ve lost about an inch off my upper arms. I and others have noticed that it’s not as flabby. My sleeves aren’t as tight either which is wild. I still have a long way to go, but I tell you when I needed a NSV (non scale victory) since the scale isn’t budging, so I will take it right now.
