Syrio Forel

Just played through Morrowind and Oblivion, back to Skyrim again. Making a bloodline narrative for my Nord characters, all in preparation for TESO in spring.

Well, it's probably not the most complicated of strategies; but I will up my deadlifting weight by 5 or 10 kg every week till I at least hit 100kgs and see how I go.

29th July 6 Week Challenge The Quest to Defeat the Flabberwocky! And yay I did live in peace amonst the good people of my village for many a year. Unknownst to me and my brethren that an evil force was at work. The signs became stronger and more frequent; and yet, to my folly, I ignored them. I awoke one morning to find that the dreaded beast had struck! The Flabberwocky had attacked leaving my village ravaged and even myself weak and flabby. With no one else to take up the call I vow to become a noble ranger and prove myself worthy of fighting and destroying this gluttonous beast! I must become strong! I must define my body and mind to give hope to those around me! Side Quests Life: I must return to a diet from before the Flabberwocky existed. I must eat as my Ancestors did (except for maybe milk for my tea) Eating only the flesh of game or the root of earth! Only then will the great beasts hold on us be weakened! (Going Paleo) Fitness: In my ongoing quest to become stronger I must be able to deadlift my weight; for if I cannot do that how can I hope to defeat the great beast!?! (deadlift 100kg at the end of the 6 weeks) Motivation I do this to become a strong and true hero, to rid myself of the terrible beast that has afflicted so many!

The one I hate is "Why are you going to the gym? you're already in good shape." Even if that were true, the gym is how to stay in my current shape

Or cyclops, jean and baby cable....

Dr. evil, frau whatshername and minime? Heman, shera and that little wizard guy whose name I can't recall....

I might do; I'll feel like a burk in the gym with a video camera (wonder if they allow cameras.....) If I can't get help there I'll definitly try. Thanks!

I know a lot of people are aprehensive about TESO. From other MMO's I've encountered, this is understandable. But I'm staying eternally optomistic (perhaps naively). So I'm lookinf forward to it. Considering Orc or Nord now! Got my new Skyrim character up to lvl40 (Imperial this time W00T!)

It's pribably going to have a few bugs but honestly, I've been lucky enough to not encounter game killing ones with elder scrolls. I'm going to stay optomistic about it because I love getting emmersed in the stories and lore. Also between dungeon crawling in Tamriel with friends and PVP to conquer Cyrodill, I will love sinking hours into yet another elder scrolls game. I'm tempted to get dosbox for arena and daggerfall now.....

Looks cool. Anyone making a costume for this year? I've started making a satyr costume myself, willpost pics if it turns out well

I found that Pathfinder is a nice accessable d&d clone, a bit cheaper and closer to 3.5 than the "streamlined" 4th edition. (Not that it was all bad in 4th, I did enjoy the sorcerer I played) As for meeting people, I try to wrangle people I already know. Still tough though. Anyone in Ireland up for Way of the Wicked?

Hi Guys, It's a way off but I was wondering about what people thought of Elder Scrolls Online? I'm probably going to go console with it, when I have decided on which one to get..... Anywho, for those that don't know, there are 3 Factions: The Ebonheart Pact consists of: Nords Argonians (Lizard people) Dunmer (Dark Elves) The Daggerfall Covenant consists of: Redguards Bretons Orcs The Aldmeri Dominion consists of: Altmer (High Elves) Bosmer (Wood Elves) Khajiit (Cat people) So which race (and therefore faction) would/will you be? For me probably Nord all the way.

Awesome! Great link thamks! Looking forward to the gym this evening now!

Hi Guys; Couldn't find a topic specifically about deadlifting so I thought I'd post here. I started deadlifting last week, this is an addition to my workout routine that's done 3 times per week. I'm pretty sure I'm doing it correctly, the gym staff haven't corrected my technique. I've started small I'm only doing 40kg at the moment and slowly increasing this; I'm wondering how to progress, the 40kg is one of the lowest weights that I work with throughout my workout. Should I just keep going as is or add weight untill it's quite difficult? I'm worried I might make a mistake and damage my back. thanks

Down in Kerry myself rural paleo zombies! FTW

Hey welcome! I'm new here too! Just on the paleo diet for 2 days now and it feels good so far!

Thanks yet again; It's day 2 of the paleo diet and I think I'm starting to find my feet; This morning was a boiled egg, sausages (highest pork % I could find, about 60 - 70% I think) and spinach and I only got hungry at about lunch time For lunch I had quick pan fried bacon (Also over here rashers is a general term for all bacon not just the processed stuff). Dinner was oven cooked round steak (1/2 of one!) with onions, mushrooms and carrot & parsnip mash. I'm not finding any energy loss or hunger. Also as I'm not exactly targeting weight loss, I'm not staying completely away from fruit. I have cut back though. So yeah thanks for all the advice. I'll just have to stop being lazy about food prep in the morning.

Oh yeah, I had peices of chicken breast in th.ere too for lunch, more proteins and little fat there but hey....

I hope not lol!

Awesome guys thanks! I sorta knew the grapefruit might not fly... This morning I had 2 boiled eggs (tomorrow is our shopping day) and then at lunch I had some chopped green lettuce with chopped bell peppers and tomatoes. Twas lovely. About the bacon a few of you have suggested, is it all fried? Do you use coconut oil? Cos' I love bacon. I also can't find any coconut oil locally (good old rural Ireland), so I'm trying to make do with extra virgin olive oil. Oh and would turkey rashers be preferrable? or would these not have enough fat for a breakfast? Thanks again, you guys have taught me so much already!

Hi all; Just going to start the paleo diet in the morning (Monday 15th July) and I was looking at some of the breakfast recipes; Most of them look too expensive or will take up a bit of time in the mornings. I know these aren't very good excuses not to do them but I was wondering if I could get away with grapefruit - quick and easy. I know that I'm supposed to be cutting the amount of sugar intake but surely the fructose is preferrable to any cereal. Any tips? Thanks

OK cool; My girlfriend and I are starting paleo in the morning and taking on a 6 week challenge too! I'm looking forward to seeing it in action. I hope my energy levels don't wain though as I was looking to up my weights in the gym this week. This is the fisrt diet I have actually had a bit of interest in, maybe it's the caveman thing

Hello Halfie, Thanks for the greet, I have a bit more research to do on the paleo diet, that and I should really figure out my goals here... I'm rambling but Hi!
