Training Recap Week 12

Just 2 weeks until the meet!!! The countdown is on!
MONDAY DEADLIFT DAY
I feel like I'm finally actually getting fast on speed deadlifts! Still need to get faster off the floor, but it's getting better, I think! My back was a little tight this workout, but it didn't interfere with anything. Hip thrusts still feel great-I know I've definitely gotten a lot stronger on those! 

1)Speed deadlifts: 155x5x1
2)RDL: 175x5/185x5/195x3x5
3)BB hip thrust: 205x8/215x3x8
4)Reverse hypers: 100x3x12
5)Reverse crunch: 2x15/hanging knee raise w/straps: 2x12
6)Standing band abductions: 3x15


WEDNESDAY  BENCH DAY
My trainer said that this week and next week will be slightly lower weights and lower volume on the main lifts. So Wednesday we just did bench singles at 125 with the pause, which we plan on being my opener. It felt pretty easy. Then did a couple singles of board presses at 160 which felt pretty good too. Basically just fried my lats after that and threw in a little extra tricep work.

1)Bench: 125x3x1
2)3 board press: 160x2x1
3)Wide grip cable row: 4x10
4)Cable straight arm pressdown: 3x12
5a)Band pullapart(slow eccentric) 3x8
5b)Band tricep pushdown(slow eccentric) 3x8

FRIDAY SQUAT DAY
For squats Friday we just did a few sets of singles at the weight we plan on using for my opener. It's an easy weight, but it'll be good to start with something easy to calm my nerves. Then it was belt squats again, glute ham raises, and hip thrusts. I was happy to do ghrs again! :) And then I ended up getting a rep pr on hip thrusts-225 for 8 reps for 2 sets! 

1)Squat (opener): 185x3x1
2)Belt squats: 4x8
3)Glute ham raise: 15x3x8
4)Hip thrust: 185x8/205x8/225x8/8

SATURDAY ACCESSORY & CONDITIONING
After this workout, I had to take advantage of the warmer weather we had and do some sled drags outside through the neighborhood!  I just came home, threw a 20 pound dumbbell in my tire, and walked forward and backwards down the street. It's so much fun!

1)Speed press 60%: 85x8x2
2a)Incline bench press: 95x5/100x2x5
2b)Fat bar chinups: 4x8

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 brok...
