I'm Really Surprised

I may have mentioned it but I've had a thumb/wrist tendinitis issue that I've been dealing with (with a physio) for the last couple of months.

There are exercises I do at home and I recently went up from using 3 lb weights to 5 lb weights and I am completely, utterly shocked and surprised at HOW much HEAVIER I'm finding them.

Like I swear I keep checking to see if they're accidentally 10 lb weights they are SO so so so SO frigging heavy.

I'm mind blown by how much heavier using a 5 lb weight is than using a 3 lb weight.  It doesn't make sense to my brain but there you have it.

Absolutely crazy.

(And yes I will mention this to my physio when I see them!)

Addendum:  Mentioned it to the physio and they kind of chuckled and said that yes it is a heavier weight but also I would never be going up to like 20 lbs and that they're small little muscles that we're working on so it's all good.
