New Training Program

For the past few weeks, I haven't been following any set program or tracking my workouts in my log. I've been doing some lower volume, full body workouts since my mom has been in the hospital, and I don't have a lot of time to spend in the gym.  I'm excited though to get back on a program and back to trying to progress on my weights!

Today I'm starting a 16 week program by Jason Ferruggia, called "Uncaged". It is pretty similar to the upper/lower split I've been following, with just a little less volume. It will be a nice change to have something to follow instead of coming up with my own workouts!

I love that it has a mix of heavy lifts, gymnastics skills, and also a conditioning day with sled pushes. It is periodized so that the sets and reps change each week, and you eventually work up to your RM(5,4,3, and then 2 rep max).

The first month will look like this:

MONDAY
1) 1 Arm Dumbbell Snatch

2a) Push Press

2b) Parallel Grip Chin Up

3a) Close Grip Bench Press

3b) Front Lever Hold

4) Handstand Hold

WEDNESDAY
1) Standing Vertical Jump

2) Back Squat

3) Deadlift

4) 1 Leg Bench Squat

5) L-Sit Hold

FRIDAY
1a) Parallel Grip Inverted Row

1b) Suspended Pushup

2a) Eccentric Only Handstand Pushup

2b) Front Lever Hold

3a) Hammer Curl

3b) Power Wheel Rollout

SATURDAY
1) 1arm DB High Pull

2a) Heavy Sled Push

2b) Medicine Ball Slam

3) 1 Arm Swing

4) Farmer's Walk

    1. I did the modified front lever holds, and I did not expect 4 sets of 10 seconds to be so tough!

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea
People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

One Year...

One year ago today... the day it all changed. It was a Tuesday. I got the call from Matt around 3:00. I remember I was sitting at the computer at home. Matt told me that he was at the hospital, and that Bob Scott, his boss, had driven him there. Then he said those 4 words I never expected to hear: “The tumor came back.”  My heart stopped. Matt had gone in that morning for an MRI, as he has done numerous times in the past 10 years. He was now at the point where he had an MRI just yearly now, and that one was done in February, which showed that everything was fine. There was no sign of tumor growth, which had been the case for the last 10 years, praise God. But because Matt had been having some seizure activity for the last few months, they suggested he go in for another MRI in July. We then decided we should move up the appointment, because he had been having a headache every day for the past week. Good thing we did.... After I hung up with Matt,  I immediately broke down. I
