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

      Oh, trust me-it took me about a year just to be able to hold myself up for a few seconds! Lots of practice and still practicing! :)

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

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

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...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
