           Michael Myers was raised in the small, mid-west town of Haddonfield, Illinois. At age 6 (in the original film) Michael murdered his oldest sister, Judith, on Halloween night. It was always unknown why he killed her; or why he spared his baby sister... After being locked up in Smith's Grove Mental Hospital, Michael escapes on October 30 and heads home to Haddonfield. At least, that's where his psychologist, Dr. Sam Loomis, assumes he is going. Michael, who is now 21, returns home and bides his time. That night he tracks down his baby sister, Laurie Strode (who has been adopted and is oblivious to her violent roots) and proceeds to murder two of her friends. He pursues her that entire night (which continues on in Halloween II), but fails to kill her. Over the next twenty-four years, Michael kills and kills, believing that his sister Laurie died in a car accident. He even kills his niece, any person who is attached the Myers/Strode families, and anyone who stands in his way. He finally realizes Laurie isn't dead and catches up with her on the twentieth anniversary of their original encounter (Halloween: H20). Laurie escapes that event under the impression she's finished her brother...until four years later, when he catches up with and kills her. It is unknown what became of Michael after Halloween: Resurrection.

Thursday 131017.

For today, I decided to explain what the thought process is behind the programming from this site, just to make it known for every one. First off, it is not very complicated, at all. Pretty simple and to the point. I think as long as you are hitting specific skills on a weekly basis, plus hitting a wide variety of exercises during conditionings, that is about all you need. Opinions differ, but to prepare for the unknown and random workouts thrown out in competition, you have to be hitting everything- weaknesses, strengths, heavy weight, bodyweight, gymnastics, running, rowing, anything that could possibly show up in a competition. Plus, hitting short conditionings, long conditionings, and everything in between. There is no complicated template in my opinion. If it works for you, go with it. If it doesn't, change it up. Don't think you are attacking a weakness by hitting it every day. Hit it a few times per week. If you want to substitute an exercise for another, do it. Its your training, this is just here for ideas for you. If you want to personalize it a bit more, go ahead. If you think the program as written is working for you, then hit it as written. It has worked for people in the past. Have fun training, this isn't a job, its a competitive hobby. Enjoy it. If you are not having fun, take some time off. Training is way too hard to not enjoy.
