Well done, Erin.

Life has thrown quite a few curveballs our way in quick succession, and I'm so thankful for this site and the people who frequent it. The laughter, support and camaraderie have a very real positive impact on my life, including my drive to succeed in school.

So thanks again, everyone. It truly means a lot.

Now we can talk about sex or whatever!

In case you were wondering, my elbow is all better.

I think I need to stay away from preacher curls.

RodeoSchro said:

Is that where you lift your congregants to get in shape?

Or does your elbow hurt from curling your hair before delivering your sermon?

congratulations to PM. Are you going to be her volunteer for the sponge bathing classes?.....how about the high colonic classes?

Thank you, I knew you'd care.

And it's funny that you mention the church, because I'm going to talk to our associate pastor about me taking over the music for our Celebration service. That's the service where us Baptists play music and do lots of praising. Problem is, our band sounds like the Brady Bunch or Up With People, and they fired the old director Thursday. So I want to take that band and re-populate it and make it into the next James Brown Revur or E Street Band. Actually, not "or" but "and". I don't know how well this will go over with the associate pastor, but he had a crush on the girl that I took to our senior prom and he thinks I'm some sort of modern-day Burt Reynolds because I took her to the prom, so he might just do anything I ask.

But I digress.

Preacher curls are the kind of barbell curls you do with your arms resting on an inclined bench. I guess you do sort of look like you're praying, but mostly I'm groaning. Those put too much stress on my elbows, dang it, because I LOVE the pump my biceps get from them.

I usually do ten sets of preacher curls once a week (I do chest and biceps two days a week, and shoulders/triceps the other two days that I work out. Of course, I do legs every day). But one day a couple weeks ago, I got all stupid and did 20 sets of preacher curls on two different machines. It really, really pumped up my biceps but it made my elbow hurt.

I love your vision for the band!

The E Street Band is phenomenal. Totally underrated when people discuss the best live bands, IMO.

And pace yourself with those weights, for Bruce's sweet sake!

We need to be able to cross link out our posts on facebook! (Instead of the other way around.) Since you are a year ahead of me, you have to take care of me if something arises!

PunkMistress said:

Thanks.

I'm usually very good with weights. I lift very heavy weights, and lots of sets. I never hurt myself, but that's mainly because 10 years of hurting myself prompted me to always do each rep with perfect form.

I can handle one round of preacher curls a week and my elbow's fine. I just went a little crazy and did two rounds that one day. Even though my form was great, it was just too much stress.

Live and learn.

Congratulations!!

that's really awesome, congratulations Erin!

Isn't there something equal enough to preacher curls minus the elbow effect?

I saw Bruce for the first time in 2008- I was pleasantly surprised at how tight that band was!
I was never a Bruce fan, but I respected him (it's the LAW in NJ- ask Chris! )
That concert changed me to a "major appreciator".
