Acceptance….

…what does it mean to you?

“There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout:
This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me… or leave me. Accept me – or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don’t fit your idea of who I should be and don’t try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision.
When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad – you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you.”

Strength Is A Must….

“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”  August Wilson

Today is the first day of a 12 week program designed by Greg Everett called ‘The Technique and Development Program’.  I will be doing other workouts like I promised but my main priority is to get strong and skilled in Olympic Lifting.

Day 1:

Squat 10 x 3 (10 sets of 3)

Shoulder Press 10 x 3 (10 sets of 3)

3 Sets of Assisted HSPU (no more then a 30″ gap between your hands) using bands from the pull up bar (sub max effort)

I can do HSPU, with a normal shoulder width hand placement, but normal is not allowed in my region.  I most conform to the 30″ gap or continue to struggle.  I do not like to struggle with anything!

In between sets of HSPU, do 50 DU’s.
