A Guy and a Grill: Jack Daniel’s Hamburgers

If you’re looking for that “perfect burger” recipe, I highly recommend you try out this recipe, which is very simple and tastes amazing. Now, this is not the healthiest recipe in the world. However, a good rule of thumb when it comes to spring and summer barbeques is “everything in moderation.” Basically, don’t eat three of these and wish them down with five beers. Instead, eat one, and have a side salad and a glass of water. When eating in moderation, you can experience some truly great barbequed foods.
Lifting Tip: Body Drags Build Biceps

I cringe when I’m in the gym and I see a middle-aged guy jerk up a biceps curl. Sure, when you jerk like that you can lift more weights, but you’re not increasing strength and you are putting yourself at risk for serious arm and shoulder injuries. To build biceps for the summer, you should alternate traditional bicep curls with something called “body drags.”
If you prefer traditional barbell curls (which aren’t bad) make sure you do stand straight up and keep your elbows at your sides with a barbell in your hand, curl the weight up until it reaches your upper chest area , lower the weight back to the starting position and do not curl your back or jerk the weights forward.
Now, if you really want to target those biceps and build them up for the summer, Blake from building-muscle101.com suggests trying barbell curls.
Specifically, he suggests that you try “body drags.” He says, “Basically, you “drag” the barbell up and across the front of your body when doing a barbell curl. Instead of curling directly up with the barbell, you bring your elbows back and start the curl in that position.”
