I baked up a big ol bag of chicken for the week...think I left it in for a couple minutes too long...it is a little dry...but still good!

I do the same with chicken, usually on the grill. With the weather getting cold, I start using the broiler instead.

Burner02 · 11-15-2005, 03:50 PM

my grill has been broken....(lose 10 man points for allowing that to happen)

If I have time, I will go out to parent's and grill them there..

B, I have to agree with Burner on this one. He's working out with you, not the other way around. This is exactly why my Wife and I don't fish or golf together anymore. Causes too much marital stress.

Burner-

shame on you for not fixing the grill.

b_reed-hope the storms don't cause too much damage down your way. Regardless stay safe. I'm in the same boat waiting for the same stroms to strike here. I'm sitting in a tornado watch as we speak.

Archangel · 11-15-2005, 05:35 PM

If you need me to I can make a trip and "explain" why he needs to let you finish your w/o!!!

Seriously it can be tuff when your both not on the same page!!! Your w/o was great, keep it up, your doing an awesome job Sister Billie!!!

Did I miss something? When did hubby start working out?

b_reed23 · 11-16-2005, 11:14 AM

Burner...yes I'm swinging my arms and bending the elbows to much...so time to cut back just a bit.

Pylon...I like grilling them too, with a dash of cayenne or lemon pepper

Boiler...I still fish and stuff with my hubby, but this is one area where we don't see eye to eye

Devlin....got pretty nasty here last night, but no Tornados here..they all hit west and east of us

Archy...lmao....you sounded like a mobster just then...are you going to bust some kneecaps?? thanks...but um..no thanks

Ego...well, he doesn't workout but maybe 1 or 2 days a week, and he usually does it after work, but every other week he gets the urge to go with me

actaully, I was reading somewhere...u can use a litle momentum on the bottom of a lateral raise to get it started. just maintain the motion, break the horizontal plane, and then control the weight back down.
I do both: slight bend in elbows and elbows bent @ 90 degree angles...(like on the lat. raise machines)
You keep your hands towards the back of the DB to make sure your pinkies are higher than your other fingers? (imagine pouring a picture of margaritas)
--wanted that to be a goooood image..

boilermaker · 11-16-2005, 11:40 AM

Hey B, what do you think of that power crunch machine? I see alot of people use it, but I've never tried it.

Archangel · 11-16-2005, 02:29 PM

Awesome w/o Sister Billie!!! Really in a groove now aren't ya!!!

hello Mrs. Reed

Pylon · 11-16-2005, 04:04 PM

Nice work, B.

I had a thought about your husband. Do you think he doesn't do well when you work out together because he is intimidated by the progress you've made? Just wondering...

I agree. Would also add to hold the dumbbell at the top and contract the side delt before lowering the weight.

Devlin · 11-16-2005, 09:24 PM

Nice workout

Glad you made it thru the storms ok. It was the same here, severe thunderstorms with high wnds, but no tornados they hit in western Kentucky instead.

PreMier · 11-17-2005, 12:18 AM

What the hell is a sumo squat? Is that like PL style?

Burner02 · 11-17-2005, 09:59 AM

Hey Jake, as I understand, it's when u hold a DB between your legs, wide stance and squat that.

Burner02 · 11-17-2005, 08:33 PM

PreMier · 11-17-2005, 10:11 PM

Cool. They dont make DB big enough for me

b_reed23 · 11-18-2005, 01:46 AM
