Ambitious. Best of luck :-) Will running regularly counter my strength training? I've dialed it way down, to an occasional trail run here and there. - Gugi9000

On which parts? I've participated in an open source break out game once. I think it's lost to bit rot. Maybe it's somewhere on a public FTP, though. I've played a bith with Ruby, I know PHP, C and C#. I can do a sternum pull-up, but not with a false grip. I think I need some technique. With the Convict Conditioning, I'm on step 1-5-ish on the various exercises. The 300-workout I haven't done in two years and back then I did it with assistance and with much less weight. Probably around 28 sets, though. I can dunk a tennis ball. I can do decent rolls in parkour, but I'm too scared to have gotten anywhere with the jumps. I've done a 3-minute plank I've participated in a 12h MTB race (2-player teams) and we didn't finish last :-) http-~~-//youtu.be/arEHCyuT-9I It's me at 3:15 drinking water :-) That's about it. Some of the goals are not that far-fetched, but the epics is just dreaming. - Michelangelo

Me too. Or to figure out my pace and additionally figure out how fast I should run the rest of the way to hit my goal. - Gugi9000

Yay you! \o/ - Gugi9000

What to challenge oneself with. Maybe "learn to swim": swim 100m in one set. I don't know what else. My strength training is, in spirit of CC, progressing intentionally slow. Maybe find and commit to (pay for) a couple of races over the coming year. Oh, oh! And code one of my projects. That'd actually be a nice challenge. Thank you for listening to me brain storm. :-) - Gugi9000

Draft.. Needs travel goals. Life: Develop a game and sell it - I'm deficient in the graphics dept. I guess I need to team up with someone :-) Get an app published in the App Store Learn Ruby and rebuild my website in Rails. I have several other projects that I want to complete. Some could be in Ruby. PortTest - an app that helps you test port-forwards etc. I should listen on a given port and let you talk with it using telnet. PortTest-client - a client/server app that does the above plus the talking and supports UDP as well. TaskLog - Maybe using Rails, to schedule upcoming tasks and register work and spent time on each task/customer. Then I know I have learned Ruby. Built a sub-woofer for the home cinema. Fitness: Learn to swim and to tread water. Do a back-flip Do a muscle-up The "300" workout in less than 28 sets Reach at least 4 master steps i Convict Conditioning: One-hand push ups One-hand Handstand push Stand-to-stand bridges One legged squats One-hand pull-ups Feet to hand leg raises Do a slam dunk - I always wanted to do that. I need air. Become proficient in parkour (how to measure?) 5-minute plank Compete in: MTB adventure race like Møns Klint Adventure Race 2012 Compete in an adventure run álà Warrior Dash. Climb Kilimanjaro The epics: Climb a real mountain The "300" workout Rx Do a flag. Reach Expert level in Krav Maga or a high belt in a martial art. Compete in: MONGOLIA BIKE CHALLENGE or something like it.

When the planks are becoming to easy, replace with inch worms.

Before I post my after shots of my physique, here is the before shots of the basement: And now the body shots: Not much of a change. It's really in the details. I can't get a shot of it, but on a good day, my abs are showing \o/ When I get home, I'll snap some new shots of the almost cleaned up room.

I'm doing that too. Totally Steve's idea, though. Closest place to learn Krav Maga, to me, is 40 km away and it's closing next Sunday :-( - Gugi9000

Hmm, yeah. I read that too. We'll probably never know or if he ever actually went to prison :-) The stuff works none the less. I just attended a class of Krav Maga in lack of the third book. I think defense must be trained with at least one partner anyway. - Gugi9000

I'll skip Pavel - for now. It might be healthy to read about something that isn't exercise related for a while. The third book should be "survival athletics" and "dynamics". At least it says so in CC2. I think he wrote in CC1 that it's based on notes made in prison, not that he wrote the book inside. - Gugi9000

So basically, I'm good with just the CC-series. I wonder why recommends Pavel's book so strongly. I hope he makes the third one on martial arts-ish stuff :-) - Gugi9000

Convict Condition 2 might be full of typos, but it really cracks me up. I actually launch out loud several times. Besides that, it has some awesome add-on exercises to CC. Has anyone read Pavel Tsatsouline's The Naked Warrior? - Gugi9000

CC + CC2 :-) That seems like a great routine to use during the week keeping the weekends open for fun stuff. No wait. That's my plan. I might even try to get some martial arts in too. That leaves plenty of time to finally play some Uncharted :-) - Gugi9000

I'll post some before and after shots, not that I was going for weight (fat) loss. - Gugi9000

Fitness: Beat the 7-minute Mile7:04 Level up to rank 2 in at least 2 exercises. Done. Moving on to Convict Cond. + planks and sprints, though.1 point. 2 sets of 10 pull-ups. Max 2 minutes rest. Done. #opportunity-pull-ups before going shopping. Yay. 2 points 5 minute plankDid 3 minutes.. Diet: Eat real food. 3 points. Life: Be more open about my training.4 points. Try Krav Maga.Missed it. I still want to try it though. Do 30 days of yoga.Tried 5 days. Man it's boring :-) Clean up basement for training during winter. (before and after shots required)Whoops. 4 out of 9. I failed. But what it a good failure? Yeah because it got me engaged in the forums, so if there is a position e takeaway, that's it! My next challenge will be better planned and, hopefully, achieved. - Gugi9000

I should get a body fat caliper.. - Gugi9000

essential carbs? Say what! - Gugi9000

You're right. I'll have post-challenge pics up tomorrow. I'll see if I can capture the abs too :-) - Gugi9000

no problem. I've been doing so many things lately that my planks have become shorter and shorter. Yesterday was a mere 1:47. I need to slow down in order to get anywhere near 5 minutes. I did however find another fun challenge yesterday. The crow stand. A real challenge for balance and core strength. I managed a 37 seconds (IIRC), so there is room for improvement :-) - Gugi9000

Btw. my abs are starting to show. Yay! :-) I still have a noticeable chub off fat just below the navel, which I can't seem to shake off. Maybe all that fruit has to stop. - Gugi9000

For running and such I like the Garmin Forerunner. Or any other GPS that can give you audible coaching (move faster, slow down) If it's for tracking all day walking, I have no clue - Gugi9000

Maybe uneven pushups. With one hand on a basket ball. - Gugi9000

Saturday: rest, run and plank.. No wait. Instead, I did this: Crow Stand: 20 sec (+5 pts) 15 sec (+4 pts) 37 sec (+10 pts) Barbell Bench Press: 35 kg x 10 reps (+41 pts) 45 kg x 10 reps (+52 pts) 45 kg x 10 reps (+52 pts) Barbell Squat: 45 kg x 10 reps (+52 pts) 45 kg x 10 reps (+52 pts) 45 kg x 10 reps (+52 pts) Clap Push-Up: 10 reps (+15 pts) 7 reps (+10 pts) 8 reps (+12 pts) Body Weight One-Leg Squat: 8 reps (+28 pts) 8 reps (+28 pts) 8 reps (+28 pts) Plank: 106 sec (+37 pts) Ab Wheel (kneeling): 5 reps (+9 pts) 5 reps (+9 pts) 2 reps (+5 pts) 1 reps (+5 pts) 1 reps (+5 pts) Wide-Grip Pull-Up: 5 reps (+30 pts) 5 reps (+30 pts) 3 reps (+15 pts) Assisted One-Arm Pull-Up: 1 reps (+5 pts) Dips - Chest Version: 5 reps (+17 pts) 5 reps (+17 pts) 5 reps (+17 pts) Box Jumps: 5 jumps || 100 cm (+22 pts) Full Bridge: 2 reps (+5 pts) Ouch - hurt and little of the lower back, so I did a bit of Vinyasa to stretch it. Straight Bridge: 17 reps (+17 pts) 20 reps (+20 pts) 15 reps (+15 pts) I hope I'm fit for fight tomorrow. ( pun not intended ) - Gugi9000

I love that feeling. I've had a huge drop in my planks too :-(
