My "Convict Conditioning" Progress - Diagonal Tuck Clutch

As I said in a previous post, since picking up my copy of "Convict Conditioning 2", I have slowly been integrating the exercises in the new book into my "Convict Conditioning" program. One of the things I was most excited about getting started on was the Human Flag progressions. Not only is it a killer workout for your lateral chain, but it's also one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

I have completed the Progression Standard of holding the Diagonal Split Clutch for 10 seconds. I have now moved on to Step 3, the Diagonal Tuck Clutch, which Al Kavadlo is demonstrating for us in the picture. Things are definitely beginning to get a bit tougher. The soreness between sessions seems to last a little longer, and it's definitely more of a challenge with your leg hanging out to the side. It's a great feeling to be progressing, though. Like I said before, I am SO looking forward to the day when I can hold a full Human Flag!

If any of you are working on the Human Flag, drop a comment, or email me and let me know how you're progressing. If not, what are you waiting for? Get your copies of  "Convict Conditioning" and "Convict Conditioning 2" today, and GET BUSY!

Rick Warren Acknowledges Christians And Muslims Worship Same God by Elliott Nesch

Yesterday's article in the Life section from the Orange County Register (the same county where Rick Warren's Saddleback Church is located), is entitled "Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims." It describes how Warren is a part of an effort named King's Way that is attempting to bring evangelical Christians and Muslims together. It goes on to state:

"The Rev. Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest and one of America's most influential Christian leaders, has embarked on an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims by partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God" 

Whether or not Warren's theological principles directly say that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, this was a legitimate impression of the reporter. Though Warren claims that Jesus is the only way, his efforts to set aside theological differences and evangelism for the sake of "love of neighbor," "common ground," and "peace" with Muslims is a compromise of the greatest magnitude.

Rather than apologetics demonstrating the inconsistency between the Koran and the Bible, Allah and Yahweh, the co-authored document affirms that Christians and Muslims believe in "one God," share two central commandments: "love of God" and "love of neighbor," and commits both faiths to three goals: Making friends with one another, building peace and working on shared social service projects.

For this reason, in addition to Warren's P.E.A.C.E. Plan and endorsement of the A Common Word document, many Christians believe that Warren is not heralding the true Gospel of Jesus Christ but a global religion which comes together for social justice and world peace.

My Wife's Covert Mission - Operation: Hollywood Sign

This morning, Saturday February 25, 2012 at 05:30, my wife Jennifer, along with two accomplices we'll call, "Matt" and "David," (actually, those are their real names - I'm just trying to inject a little intrigue) left on a Top Secret, early morning mission to the world famous Hollywood sign. Their objective: Climb the mountain where the sign is located, scale the security fence surrounding the property, approach the sign, touch it, get photographic evidence of the mission's completion, and escape without detection and arrest.

As you can see by the photos below - mission accomplished! I'm so happy that my wife was able to achieve this dream, and cross it off her "Bucket List." Everyone made it back safely, although "David" did take a fall and injured his back. I hope he'll be okay, and that he heals quickly.

You may be wondering why I was not along for the adventure. Two words - IT'S ILLEGAL! I am envious in a way, even though the goody-two-shoes, must obey the "rules" part of me would never allow myself to do such a thing. Not only that, but I have to admit that the older I get, the more boring I seem to become. There are plenty of other less harrowing adventures that Jennifer has on her agenda, so I'm looking forward to lots of other fun times to come. Thanks to Matt and David for accompanying Jen on this one, and being her partners in crime!

She made it!

Matt

My "Convict Conditioning" Progress - Flat Straight Leg Raises

I finally reached the Progression Standard for Flat Frog Raises of 3 sets of 25 last night. It seems that abdominal work is always some of the toughest for me to make progress in, but it's coming along, slowly but surely. I've been training in "Convict Conditioning" since this past July of 2011, and I'm finally ready to move on to Step Five of the Leg Raise series - Flat Straight Leg Raises. It always gives me a great feeling and sense of accomplishment when I reach a Progression Standard, and move on to the next step in a series. There's nothing like overcoming an obstacle and accomplishing something that you've suffered for and struggled to obtain.

If any of you are working the CC program, drop a comment, or email me and let me know how you're progressing. If not, what are you waiting for? Get your copies of  "Convict Conditioning" and "Convict Conditioning 2" today, and GET BUSY!

Not only is it a killer workout for your lateral chain, but it's also one of the coolest things I've ever seen! I am SO looking forward to the day when I can hold a full Human Flag! I started with the Clutch Hold progressions 3 weeks ago, which are the beginner steps that lead up to the full Flag progressions. I began with Step 1, the Clutch Hang, and performed it twice a week. I did 5 sets on each side, starting with a 5 second hold, and adding 1 second per session. Within 3 weeks I had completed the Progression Standard for the Clutch Hang of 10 seconds. I have now moved on to Step 2, the Diagonal Split Clutch, which Al Kavadlo is demonstrating for us in the picture above.
