✅ Why Dumbbell Preacher Curls Matter! 💪

1️⃣ Pick a moderate weight that allows controlled reps. Going too heavy leads to swinging or reduced range of motion, defeating the purpose of isolation.

2️⃣ Curl the dumbbell up slowly (~2 seconds), squeeze the bicep hard at the top.

3️⃣ Lower even slower (~3–4 seconds) to maximize time under tension and eccentrics for hypertrophy.

Tuesday #Workout:
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
10 minutes of strength training.
10 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
210 seconds of plank.
15.3 KM of #Running (3°C, 100% humidity, and 14 km/hr wind).

Moved plank to after the workouts to make it easier to do them with @TAV. Good run, got rained on for the last 4 KMs or so.

It's interesting seeing the progression over time (thanks, spreadsheet), with the slow but steady approach towards my current goal. It's still so hard.

Day 1 of 30 minutes. I didn't think I'd do it today because I only did 2 days of 25 minutes last week. I was so exhausted last week I only managed to work out on Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully this week goes much easier. I told myself I could stop at 25 minutes if I needed to, but other than being extremely sweaty I felt fine to do 30 minutes.

Monday #Workout:
210 seconds of plank.
11 minutes of yoga for runners.
10 minutes of strength training.
10 minutes of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).
16.2 KM of #Running (0°C, -2°C Windchill, 86% humidity, and 6 km/hr wind).

Pretty good workouts and run for the start of the week. Pleased the KMs are coming up smoothly so far. May opt to dial it back a bit compared to last week, just in case. We'll see as it's really great running weather.

Wow, is it getting warm out there.

Had brunch where we caught up with a friend visiting from the Toronto area, picked up groceries, and now back home.
