history: My friend looks a lot less strong than he actually is. I totally thought that he would have trouble curling a 35 lb dumbbell but he did it quite a few times! I am really proud of his gains! My friend really is stronger than he looks. I thought he would have issues curling 35 lbs but he did it pretty easily.  That's amazing! I wish I could lift that much.
current: I'm getting there myself, I can curl about 30 lbs. I'm pretty proud of his gains though.
next: You'll get there in no time. I believe in you.
