LOL, he's a "funny guy".

I have a thing where I get a set of #25 dumbbells, one in each hand hung to the side, and stand up as perfectly straight as I can. Once I've achieved that, I will do a set of 20. Then lean over and put the dumbbells on the ground in front of me, while still holding onto them. Do a 10 second or so hamstring stretch, then stand up again (never letting go of the dumbbells) and do a set of 20 and repeat the hamstring stretch. I do three sets and never let go of the weights, takes about 3-4 minutes total.

So I'm getting

1.) posture help
2.) arm, shoulder, and upper back strength training
3.) back and hamstring stretches

The curls really add power to my climbing. I can practically pull my way up hills for short distances, and the stretching helps flatten out my back. Plus it only takes like 3 minutes, well worth the time. And plus they keep my arms from getting too skinny.
