Chesire Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 I'm liking Elements well enough, but I have another aspect of it that I need to be aware of and work around. I mentioned somewhere, I think on Emissary2Ornj's BL, that it is very anterior push focused and I feel it overuses those muscles for me, but the finish also does not have hamstring stretches/mobility to balance out the hip stretching. I just through it in at the end. Nothing is one size fits all, so not complaining, just adjusting for me. 3 Quote daily dare 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
Chesire Posted February 1 Author Report Share Posted February 1 Spice Club starts again tomorrow. What could it be? Guesses? Fennel was fun because I don't usually focus on fennel itself but as a focus was different . I did end up doing one more dish of potatoes pan fried with fennel, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pretty tasty and easy. 2 Quote daily dare 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment

Are these whole spices or ground ones? Or does it vary? On 1/31/2023 at 7:05 PM, Chesire said: Fennel was fun because I don't usually focus on fennel itself but as a focus was different . I freaking love fennel, especially in sausages. Ground fennel is delicious on pizza, too. 1 Quote "When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it." -Henry Ford "If you know the way broadly, you will see it in all things." -Miyamoto Musashi "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man.

I think I use A-frame positions to do this for me, and I include a kneeling hamstring and calf stretch on my recovery day mobility session to combat that tightness. I do know that the lunges and 3-point bridges for the front of the hip are very welcome after all the squatting in Elements. On 1/31/2023 at 7:05 PM, Chesire said: Guesses?

Chesire Posted February 3 Author Report Share Posted February 3 I finally made it to the library,,,,, Herbes de Provence! I've never used a specific blend of this. i've always been too lazy/cheap to go and buy it when I can fake it well enough 😆 First thing will be a vinaigrette since I need a dressing for my lunch today! 4 Quote daily dare 41 40 39 38 37 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment
