Week 0, Day 5, day 6 & day 7 Got my S&S on both day 5 & 6. Day 7 is rest day. Also did my Pull-ups & Dips on day 5. Lets see what next week gives. Did a stream on Saturday. My first playthrough of Kingdom Hearts and streamed it about 3-4 hours. Goal 1: Simple & Sinister 6x a week: ////// - ////// - ////// - ////// - ////// Goal 2: Pull-ups & Dips: /// - /// - /// - /// - /// Mini-Goals; Picked my teeth everyday & streamed on Saturday.

Not this time. I don't have a camera set so nobody would notice But that camera is coming soon

Week 0, Day 3 & day 4 Wednesday i did pull-ups & dips after my s&s. And it felt pretty good. Yesterdays S&S felt better, my forearms were still a bit sore but not as much as wednesday. Progress As for my mini goals: i streamed on Wednesday & picked my teeth both days

Ah that might help, thanks for the tip The weather here is getting hotter (25 degrees C/78 degrees F). So a longarm tshirt would be a bit hot

A nice start Akura. Keep it up

Week 0, Day 2 The 16kg Get-ups yesterday bruised up my forearms a bit. And today i felt it pretty hard, so i switched to my 6kg KB. I checked the internet for tips and basically everyone was: "Keep going, comrade. You are weaker, get stronger (think it with a russian accent)". So the next day i'm going back to the 16kg and just push through it and my forearms will probably get used to it and get stronger. Goal 1: Simple & Sinister 6x a week: ////// - ////// - ////// - ////// - ////// Goal 2: Pull-ups & Dips: /// - /// - /// - /// - /// Mini-Goals; Picked my teeth before bed, tried a new recipe (its oke)

Week 0 Day 1 Started nicely today. Did my Simple & Sinister with 16kg for both Get-Ups & Swings. Those Get-ups with 16kg is tough, but already feels really rewarding. Did some time coming up with 2 days on which i could stream on Twitch. Decided on Wednesday & Sunday. What sucks is that, because of my shift work, the time i will stream on Wednesday changes every week. But i guess if i frequently talk about it it wont be a big problem.

Grandkai Gets-up & Swings into Action! Goal 1: Simple & Sinister 6x a week I want to do more with my kettlebells & after listening to the audio book for Simple & Sinister i decided to do this. 5 sets of 10 Kettlebell Swings & 5 sets of 1 Get-Ups per arm. 6 Times a week. Goal 2: Pull-ups & Dips I want to also get better with Pull-Ups & Dips, 2 exercise that give the most bang for your buck. So ill be doing the "20 Pull-ups in 6 Weeks" program/challenge & the "150 Dips in 6 weeks" program/challenge. 5 sets of X reps in each program/challenge 3 Times a week. Mini-Goals - Pick my teeth everyday before bed - Eat an apple everyday - Find some new recipes - Dedicate 2 days every week for Twitch streaming So that are my goals for this challenge. Mostly fitness but with little nutrition/health goals as well. Time to get fit for spring

Aww too bad it didnt go as you hoped. Getting sick always sucks. Maybe take it easier with the goals to get them done. Instead of drawing & guitar do just one. Or alternate every few days so you can focus on it. Sorry i wasnt really there to give support I’m getting back into the forums upcoming week, im readying up for my new challenge.

Me neither. This challenge started when i just got home from a little vacation. And i wanted to do a challenge but i hadn’t really a clue what i wanted to do. I thought about doing the same thing as the last one (kb, running, handstand) but for some reason i had no thrive to post and focus on it. But i’m slowly getting back into the flow and am looking at some goals for myself to achieve. Maybe i’ll read Steve’s book again for some tips

Still better than nothing I did nothing the last 2 weeks

Awesome goals, had any luck finding a song to play for your girlfriend? Please tell me what you think of Simple & Sinister, i’m thinking of buying it just to know more about kettlebells and movements with them. And following ofcourse

Review Overall i did pretty oke this challenge, had a miss-week because of the extreme cold weather we had. What's Next? First a week of Italy, today (Saturday March 10th) i am going with the bus to Bardonecchia Italy for a week of Snowboarding, having fun & a bit of drinking Luckily now i have internet when i'm there so i can post my next challenge and update in the 0 week Oke, but fitness related? Going to keep up with the KB/Bodyweight idea. I like it and i feel stronger every time. Maybe mix it now. Running & handstand training is staying. I want to add a nutrition goal, not sure what yet. But perhaps ill write some stuff down next week. So again, thank you for following my challenge. And till the next one

Week 4, Day 4 & Day 5 Did my run & my workout, cleaned up a bit and started packing for Italy Quest 1: KB & Bodyweight KB & Bodyweight workout: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 2: Run More Running: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 3: Handstand Training Handstand/Headstand training: ///////- ///////- ///////- ///////

Week 4, Day 2 & Day 3 Did a nice quick run on Tuesday, felt very good to run in a temperature of double digits. Cleaned and relaxed, in the evening read a bit before bed. Had a decent Kettlebell workout, lost my focus a few times. I'm going to Italy saturday for a week of snowboarding and the groupchat is going pretty crazy. So all day my head was thinking about snowboarding, the sun, limoncello & just fun and no thinking about work. After workout cleaned and played a bit of games.

Week 4, Day 1 A long Monday. Worked a bit of overtime till 16:00 (normally i work till 14:00) and after that quickly home to shower and dress for a work dinner. Got home around 8-9 and just crashed and went to sleep. I'm glad i did my headstand training in the morning before work And because of my overtime on Friday i can go home earlier Quest 1: KB & Bodyweight KB & Bodyweight workout: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 2: Run More Running: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 3: Handstand Training Handstand/Headstand training: ///////- ///////- ///////- ///////

Haha my time 19:00 CET, so roughly 10:00-11:00 your time Thank god the cold is over. The temperature now is a nice 10-13 degrees Celcius. A bit of rain this week but i can deal with that

Didnt do anything last week (too cold, temperatures of -15 degrees ) Did headstand for a minute yesterday & today wall-stand for 1 minute.

YAY! Better than nothing, we are also planning to get a drink again soon. Its just hard since his girlfriend is in a depression and he is doing his best to help her. And i totally get that, but i think its also good for him to take some time every now and then for himself. It was, he knows a lot about Fortnite Battle Royale. I only play it every now and then. After i finished my Shadow of the Colossus stream i'm planning to stream around 19:00. Perhaps ill see you then

Week 3, Day 1 till Day 5 Short answer: i did nothing. Long answer: i did nothing, because it was ice cold. Here in the Netherlands we suddenly got cold weather from Russia. Everyday the temperature was below freezing with a max of -9 degrees Celcius and with a strong wind it was -17 degrees Celcius. Sadly i only have one heater in my apartment, in my living room, and that means the rest of the rooms are only barely on a comfortable temperature. Everyday the alarm went and i quickly turned it off and instead of going to my living room, where its comfortable, i jumped right back into bed where i was warm and cozy. Luckily the temperature is going back up tomorrow and next week its going to rise to double digits And then i'll be right back into routine

Week 2, Day 4 till Day 7 It was cold and i was tired from my night shifts so i didn't do that much. Happily still got a short run in so thats something. Played games a very long time with friends on friday and went to bed at around 3-4 am. Woke up late and didn't stream but in the evening played a bit of Fortnite Battle Royale on PS4 with my best friend who i haven't heard from for about 4-5 months Quest 1: KB & Bodyweight KB & Bodyweight workout: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 2: Run More Running: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 3: Handstand Training Handstand/Headstand training: ///////- ///////- ///////- ///////

Week 2, Day 3 Not a lot to tell, did a workout & my handstand training. Quest 1: KB & Bodyweight KB & Bodyweight workout: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 2: Run More Running: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 3: Handstand Training Handstand/Headstand training: ///////- ///////- ///////- ///////

I got it from @Akura, its a great way to keep track here and easy if i don't feel like adding text to the post Thank you All things i enjoy on a daily basis and each help me relax after a hard work day. Also thank you for the tips, right now i just talk a bit of nonsense during my Shadow of the Colossus stream. Maybe a other game will help as well to make the stream more fun, but which one?

Tried some kick-ups today. Got my right foot against the wall, but my leg was bent Still good because i'm getting over the fear of kicking up. And the straight leg will come

Week 2, Day 2 Had a nice 5K run within 30 minutes and after i cooled down on my balcony. Despite being 5 degrees C (41 degrees F) it was very nice outside. A little bit of sun does a lot Also practiced kicking up for my handstands, got a few decent kicks and one leg to the wall but it was a bent leg. But this is the start to handstands Quest 1: KB & Bodyweight KB & Bodyweight workout: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 2: Run More Running: /// - /// - /// - /// Quest 3: Handstand Training Handstand/Headstand training: ///////- ///////- ///////- ///////
