The light and the end of the tunnel...

I cant believe it. We have reached the final phase of melvins 6 month workout program. I must say it was a very, very, very (i jus want to emphasize this part) long road. I can truely say that Melvin has put me as well as himself through workout hell. The types of workouts both weights and cardio mixed all around was very intense. We were working out like athletes would.

I am happy with the results that have come about, but not completely satisfied. I definitely have LOTS of room for improvement. I feel like we're at a level where we can start to maintain what we have achieved, but once your in it as deep as we have been, you get to a point where you want to go further and improve on what is already there. So after the six month program is over I want to push my body to the extreme (within reason of course) and see what I can achieve.

His program works people. Combination of weights, cardio, and DIET, and the key to the enitre program is CONFUSE the muscle; constantly shock the body. Its posssible to get the results that you want. I'm living proof (jus look at the progression). I know not everyones schedules and lifestyles aren't condusive to working out, but if one is determined, one can find ways. It's jus like anything else in life, finiding a balance with everything.

One thing new that I have added to my workout regimine is brazilian jiu jitsu. I am truely enjoying this aspect of my training. Just like my teacher says, BJJ is like a chess match, always constantly thinking ahead, reacting to your opponents every move. I'm hoping I can take BJJ as far as I can and earn my black belt. The last class I went to, I saw a 6 year old boy training. It was amazing. The boy was so fluid with his moves and to top it all off he was rolling with someone three times his size. It would be great if Jayden would take to it, but I definitely will not push it on him. We'll see...hehehe!
