Mortar and Pestle, a traditional helper that is soon to be entirely vaporized by blending machine. While mortar and pestle is slowly losing its purpose (since I rarely see mum use this anymore...also considering the fact that I rarely go to the kitchen...I mean, I go there often, but not until the "cooking perimeter"), our lecturers wanted to spark the innovative thoughts inside our heads, trying to improvise this traditional tool, into something else that is applicable in our daily routine. Thus, considering the weight of both mortar and pestle. I've summed up that it may be an appropriate tool for...

HOW TO DO?
Many thought wrong regarding the fact about working out. They tend to think that the heavier the weight, the bigger their biceps will grow. This is a myth, as same as how masturbation makes u taller (just sharing information). In order to tone your biceps, you must use the weight which is appropriate for your body to support.
For beginners that are just starting out, take two pestles and hold one for each hand. Look forward, and open your legs a little bit. Without having your shoulder swaying, cleanly lift your hand up until they are at the same level of your biceps, then put it down. Do it again, 10 reps for 1 set. Since pestles come in various sizes, you can the size of the pestles to gain more efficiency. But well, Since doing this will take years for your biceps to grow, you might as well get yourself a pair of dumbbells. :)

2) BEGINNER TRICEPS WORKOUT 1
Take a pestle with suitable weight and put it behind you back. After that, with the pestle still in your hand, lift the pestle up above your head (up, not forward) and bring it back down. Repeat this for around 3 sets of 10 reps until you start feeling your triceps. The key is lifting it up and not forward.

3) BEGINNER TRICEPS WORKOUT 1
Instead of using pestle, now we are going to use the mortar. The concept is as same as the first workout. Only this time, we are using both hands. Lift a mortar with both hands and put it behind your back. After that, lift the mortar up above your head, remember, not forward. 3 sets of 10 reps util you start feeling your triceps

3) STEEL BALL WORKOUT
This exercise is similar to the steel ball workout routine only this time, we are using mortar. The idea is to bend your body 90 degrees with your hand holding the mortar at its mouth while it's still on the ground. Then, while holding the mortar, lift it up and at the same time your body returns to straight position. Release the mortar and grab it back while it's in the air. Return to original bending position and do 10 reps for each set.

4) DIAMOND PUSH-UPS
As we know, push ups are actually the best way to tone your body. As the effect will take place on most upper body. Mostly chest and biceps, also back muscle. However, to gain more efficiency, there are a variety of push up types that specify the part of body that needs to be enhanced. As for triceps building, diamond push ups is considered the best. In order to do this, you will need a mortar. Flip the mortar so that the mouth will be at the bottom, so the mortar will have a wider base area, hence making it stable. After that, find a high spot so you will be in a downright position. Place both your hands with palms down close to each other on top of the pestle. After that, do your push-ups by opening your shoulder as you go down. Come up again. Do at least 20 push ups for 1 rep, if possible.

5) NORMAL PUSH-UPS ( TO TARGET CHEST/ BICEPS/BACK BODY)
Doing this routine is just as same as doing normal push-ups. What changes is that the efficiency of push-ups will increase if the hands are placed in a higher spot, so the body can go further down. S-shaped push up tool is a precise tool for this kind of exercise. However, if S-shaped is absent, what you need to do now is to have two mortars with the same size. Flip the mortars so the mouths will be at the bottom. Put both further apart according which type of muscle you wish to tone (further will target chest, closer will target biceps). Next, find a higher spot to be in a downright position while placing your hands, palms down on the mortars. After that, just do your push ups, at least 20 push ups for 1 rep, if possible.
