How “about 3.50” was born

Once upon a time, there was a dedicated bodybuilder who frequented bodybuilding.com, searching for new exercises and techniques to take his gains to the next level. One day, he stumbled upon a mysterious forum thread titled "The Quest for the Ultimate Bicep Curl." Intrigued, he clicked on it and was greeted by a group of fellow lifters engaged in a heated discussion.

Amidst the sea of comments, one user claimed to have discovered a groundbreaking secret that would revolutionize bicep training forever. In a cryptic message, the user wrote, "The ultimate bicep curl requires a precise combination of factors. First, you must calculate the optimal weight to load onto the barbell. Then, multiply that weight by the square root of the circumference of your upper arm. Finally, divide the result by the number of reps you can do with proper form. The answer you get is..."

Before the bodybuilder could read the rest of the comment, the thread suddenly glitched and disappeared. Determined to uncover the secret, he scoured bodybuilding.com for hours, trying to find any trace of the mysterious formula. Finally, after countless clicks and page reloads, he stumbled upon a hidden page buried deep within the website's archives.

On this hidden page, there was a riddle written in complex mathematical symbols and weightlifting jargon. The riddle stated:

"To unlock the secret of the ultimate bicep curl, you must solve the following equation: (2 * √x) + (y / z) - (a * b) = 42, where:

x represents the optimal weight you can curl,
y represents the circumference of your upper arm,
z represents the number of reps you can do with proper form,
a represents the number of dumbbell curls you have done in the past week,
b represents the number of sets of pull-ups you have performed in the past month."
The bodybuilder's mind started spinning as he meticulously plugged in different values and solved the equation over and over again. Frustration started to set in, but he refused to give up.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The bodybuilder became obsessed, spending every waking moment trying to decipher the secret behind the equation. He even dreamt of variables and equations, his nights consumed by numbers dancing before his eyes.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, it happened. As the sun was setting on yet another day spent in relentless pursuit, he arrived at the answer. He realized that the ultimate bicep curl, according to the enigmatic equation, was "about 3.50 times the square root of the product of (circumference of upper arm) divided by (number of reps performed with proper form)."

Overwhelmed with excitement, he couldn't wait to share his discovery on bodybuilding.com. He composed a post, describing his arduous journey and unveiling the secret formula for the ultimate bicep curl. As he hit the submit button, he knew that he had just contributed something extraordinary to the bodybuilding community.

And so, fellow lifters, the legend of "about 3.50" was born—a tale of dedication, perseverance, and a mathematical quest that forever changed the way biceps were trained.
