I invented a variation on lifting dumbbells. Maybe it already exists.. Probably. I mean, surely...

Do one lift, turning the dumbbell 90 degrees while lifting from hip to shoulder, then after slowly letting it back down, continue to the floor, with knees bent but heels still on the floor - so, a squat. Then straighten up and lift the weight over your head, in a pose like you're waving goodbye to someone already very far away. Slowly let it back down to your hip, where its ready to begin the first part again. That's one rep.

I was getting to where my current weight was meaningless and I could just do reps forever. I don't want to buy a higher weight - these things are 'spensive.

I'm beat. This new exercise takes everything.
