"Triceps and More
Triceps"
By,
Kevin J. Mullin
Dear
Smurf,
While finishing my 6th month at the
program, I am starting to realize that in order for me to go
faster, further, and do it in a short period of time-my tricep
workouts are going to have to become my new best friend.
Although my number one goal is to rid myself of this wheelchair
and live a functional lifestyle, it will never happen unless I
first conquer this wheelchair and learn to live functionally in
it. In order for me to get up small hills, bumps, or wheel
on carpet-I must build my core stomach muscles and my tricep
muscles. To do this, I must wheel myself everywhere I go (in
and outside the gym). Because of this, it has made it a very
frustrating month. After talking with Mr. Weber, he
explained that I cannot get frustrated easily because all that is
doing is teaching my body to shut down when meeting new
challenges. I cannot get to the next level if I keep this
up. I have to be mindful of my emotions and keep a cool head
if I want to reach my goals.
Since it has been six months, I
have decided to do a recap of my accomplishments. I have rid
myself of my electric wheelchair and I am knob free on my manual
wheelchair. I can now fully feed myself and wheel over small
bumps, carpets and small inclines. I no longer have blood pressure
issues while standing up, and have gotten completely off all
medications. Most important, I have gotten mentally
stronger since I have started this program.
I also want to take this time and
congratulate Tucker Fife on standing up and taking his first steps
without leg braces on. What a true inspiration it is to
watch Tucker achieve his goals.
Another person I want to
congratulate is Julie for doing such an exceptional job in such a
short period of time. I really am amazed at the progress one
person can make when they set their mind to it.
I want to take this
moment to thank each and every one of you again for the support
and prayers while I am on this journey. I made a personal decision
to use my website as a medium to keep all informed on my progress.
This is the best way for me to communicate with all of you and not
forget anyone person. Please take a moment if you have not yet
done so and sign up for my emails and video updates on the top
right hand corner of my new website at www.kevinjmullin.com. I plan on sending
more video updates ASAP. Please view the new video updates below
