So the last week is over. I can't wait for another challenge, to come and so these are my final grades. Goal 1: A Goal 2: B+ Goal 3: A- Overall, I feel like i did very well on my first challenge. I was very progressive in increasing the weight and difficulty of my calisthenics. I feel like I could have done more shadowboxing however, and just more technique practice in general. I also did well in tracking my calories, and hit my protein goal almost every day. I'll be certain to come back for the next challenge.

Week 5 was slightly subpar, but certainly not bad. Goal 1: B Goal 2: B Goal 3: B Tbh, i missed sunday's workout because of evo. It was kinda worth it i guess, and i did some towel on bar pullups for grip. I also rode my bike a little early in the day, but totally skipped on my shadowboxing. Good news though, i tested for my level 9 on saturday, and i feel like it was one of my best tests yet. Also, I'm starting to do backwards jump roping tonight. All the best for the last week of this challenge.

I'm probably gonna start with going backwards, then incorporate squat roping, then crossovers and double jumps.

Another good week for the Spider. Everything's going smoothly and i'm ready for the last two weeks. Goal 1: A Goal 2: A Goal 3: A I've started jump roping again, i try to do it as a warmup or in place of my shadowboxing everyday now. I feel my footwork and conditioning is starting to improve, so i'll start incorporating tricks soon.

Week 3 went by without a hitch. I managed to do all 3 workouts, though one was cut short by weather. I shadowboxed on 3 days, and hit my macros everyday. So my grades are as follows. Goal 1: A Goal 2: B Goal 3: A

Not really, but i did start having this little containers of no fat yogurt that has about 8 grams of protein and i have about 3 of them a day, so i'm hitting it pretty consistently now.

So my second week is over, and I felt I did better than my first. I did all my workouts for the week, though one was cut short by time and lack of motivation. I did all my shadowboxing and did it according to schedule. I stayed on my macros for 5 days of the week, so pretty good overall. Goal 1: A Goal 2: A Goal 3: B Next workout, i'm going to start doing HSPU negatives and i'm going to replace day 4 of shadowboxing with a jumproping day, making sure to go at least 3 rounds. Other than that, everything else is gonna be the same.

For breakfast i usually have 4 eggs and 2 cups of whole milk. For lunch i usually make my self a sandwich with mayonaisse, lettuce, tomatoes, and either bacon or roast beef. I'll usually have 2 or 3 PBJ's later in the day and another 2 cups of milk. For dinner, it varies, but I almost always have some kind of meat with dinner.

My macro ratio is 97 fat, 365 carbs, and 146 protein to be exact. Tbh, i usually just try to hit my protein and calorie goal because my fat and carbs usually end up evening out at around 40% each. Like I said, most of my protein comes from meat, eggs, and milk. Some peanut butter too. As for the HSPU's, i'm not strong enough to do one yet and i'm probably gonna start doing negatives first. But besides that, I think the rest of my exercises are pretty good for now.

I get 140 grams per 2900 calories. I don't really like paleo, so i follow an IIFYM diet. I eat a lot of eggs, that and milk is where a lot of my protein comes from. Meat as well.

I'm trying to hit 146 grams a day, and i don't have protein powder atm, so i'm doing it purely through food. When i do get powder though, its gonna be a lot easier to hit obviously.

So my first week went okay. I did all of my workouts for the week, but i only shadowboxed 2 days out of 4. I also managed to stay at 50 calories for every day but one. So my first grades are... Goal 1: A Goal 2: C Goal 3: A I'm going to start incorporating HSPU's into my workouts soon and have decided to work different things on my four shadowboxing days: On day 1, i will work on my speed and power, just throwing as much and as hard as i can on everything. Day 2, I'll work on head movement and comboes, trying to smoothly incorporate them together. On day 3, i'm going to practice individual punches, working on form and then maintaining that form while i increase speed and power. The last day will be takedowns and practicing what i've learned in class. Also, I will hit my protein no matter the cost...

Kraven has always been my favorite spidey villain, hence the title. For all those who read spiderman, i suggest you read kraven's last hunt if you haven't already done so, it's certainly my favorite comic book arc of all time. Anyways... I've decided to join monks because i do martial arts (Jeet Kune Do). So I'm basing this challenge around my bw strength and skill training. So my 3 goals are all geared towards said goals. Goal 1: Continue my bodyweight training 3 days a week I've been doing bw training for some time now. I prefer it over weight training, though i do use weighted calisthenics. My routine will be as follows: Warmup: L-sit and Handstand skill training Workout A: Weighted Dips (hopefully assissted HSPU's as well) Weighted Pullups Weighted Pistols Workout B: One Arm Pushup progressions Weighted Inverted Rows Assisted Glute Ham Raise Grades: A = 3 days a week B = 2 days a week C = 1 day a week Goal 2: Do at least 5 min. (if not more) of shadow kick-boxing on days I don't train I've been having trouble establishing this for some time, so i have to force the issue now. I want to use this time to work on my techniques, practicing head movement and all my techniques. I'll likely work in takedowns as well. Grades: A = 4 days B = 3 days C = 2 days or less Goal 3: Stay within 50 calories on MFP I'm a fan of using MFP, and have been using it for 2-3 months now. I think its a great tool, but lately i've been going outside of my calorie goals. This has to stop, so i'm making it a goal to stay within 50 calories of my goal every day. Grades: A = Within 50 B = Within 75 C = Within 100 or more I'll be averaging my grades for the week, then posting at the end of each week.

So today was leg day (the pain!) My workout went as follows: Pistols:10,10/10,10/10,10 Leg raises:10/12/10 Isometric leg curl:5 sec high/5 sec low/ 5 sec mid It looks like its time to add some weight to the pistols. I'll probably start doing them with 20 lb. and drop the reps to 5 or 6. As for the leg raises, i'm still working on my getting my legs near parallel with my trunk. Lastly, i'm going to start doing glute ham raise progressions starting next workout.

I felt really good about my first week, I stayed on my calories and made sure to do my workouts. However, I noticed that one of my workouts went over 1 and a half hours, and I noticed that it was the pistols. Since single limb work takes so much time and energy, i've decided to split my workouts between upper and lower body, doing dips, pullups, and handstands one day then doing pistols and assisted glute hams the next. Then, I'll put a day of rest in between, then repeat. On another note, my ideas for parts in my PC are coming together nicely. I'm going for a bit of a lower budget build this time, but it'll be awesome regardless. So, my first weeks been pretty great, i feel very motivated.
