With the second weight added to his other hand it is definitely a bit more difficult but still manageable, what's more difficult is staying focused on what Max is saying as he touches each of his own muscle groups. It's distracting, having each of these bulging muscles pointed out and Richard tries not to stare at Max's biceps.
"Elbows tucked...right. Okay." He muses out loud, his eyes still on Max's muscles but then he realizes that Max is expecting him to start the actual workout.
"Oh. Uh sorry." He mutters and tries to get into the same position as Max, which feels a bit like a joke. He looks like a fun house mirror reflection compared to the other man but he tries to put that thought aside and just lift the weights like he was told.
"Is this right?" He asks as he slowly does the move.
He notices Richard looking - have to be fucking blind not to - but he doesn't draw attention to it. Focuses instead on him, keeping the smile on his face encouraging instead of quietly amused. Flattered.
"Yeah, that's perfect - make sure you're inhaling on the easier bit, when you're lowerin' 'em down, and exhale when you're curling back up. There you go."
And then, when the last movement's done; "And you're done, gorgeous stuff. Chuck 'em down, give your arms a bit of a shake out. Not so bad right?"
"Inhale and exhale. So basically I should remember to breathe?" Richard asks sarcastically but does try to follow Max's instructions for the next few reps. His sarcasm is never hostile, it's just his natural tone of voice most of the time.
"Yeah I guess that wasn't too bad." He admits and puts the weights down carefully. "Now what?"
