+
+What a thing to learn your wife is pregnant. Its kind of anti-climactic. I imagine the birth is a bigger deal, but similarly
+just a moment that comes and goes. This will be our first, and we are very excited! I suggested to my wife that we take time
+each evening before bed to start listening to a books together, and she thought that was a swell idea. So, we started
+listening to [The Power of Showing Up](https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9780593147870-the-power-of-showing-up), a book I saw
+suggested on Reddit. Interested to see what sorts of things we learn together and any discussions / differing ideas we have
+when it comes to child rearing.
+
+I'm excited to be a dad, I think I'll be pretty good at it, and I'm excited to see how my ever-optimizing
+brain handles parenting.
+
+Excited for the next chapter when we enter parenthood!

+
+# Context
+
+I have a goal for this year (2025) to gain 15 pounds of muscle. I've been quite a lean person all of my life, and about 6 years ago
+got into weight lifting and put on some actual muscle. I've flip-flopped through different fitness 'ideologies' (calisthenics,
+2 rep heavy weights, etc) and I feel like now I've landed on some weird middle ground I'm calling weighted calisthenics.
+
+# Reflection
+
+I think the most important thing about resistance training is providing your body the opportunity to adapt to a wide
+range of resistances. So, I'm rotating on a monthly basis between three kinds of over-arching frameworks: the 
+[3 by 5](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcxIJcltUg0), high-rep burnouts, and a traditional 8-12 rep 3 set exercises.
+
+But, between and among all of these exercises, I've learned that I just really like body-weight exercises with a little bit
+of extra weight. I don't know what it is, but doing a bunch of lunges holding a sand bag on your shoulders just makes me feel
+like a bad ass, and it feels like a really great. I'm interested to try more weighted dips, pull-ups, push-ups, etc.
