Yeah, he has some pretty funny one liners: I'm only having a few people over so I just got a baby turkey, AKA a chicken. A rotisserie chicken from Walmart.

I was actually tempted to post the next line after that. "I bought two and ate one on the way home." That made me bust out laughing because I did that exact thing when I was bulking.

what kind did you get?

40lbs is not enough for me unfortunately. I went with the 200lb set.

Those bowflex ones look interesting but they also looked like they would not be durable.
