The first season was great, rest were okay :\

Relevant.

Already exists It was in the Assassin's Knowledge base, but I moved it back over to the main Assassin's page. Check the top of the guild!

Overcoming Gravity and Building the Gymnastic Body are the best resources on bodyweight training IMO. Couple of others: Never Gymless by Ross Enamait - the sections on conditioning are particularly good BeastSkills.com - Jim has some great tutorials EatMoveImprove.com - the blog of Stephen Low, author of Overcoming Gravity, has some great articles that expand on ideas touched upon in the book AlKavadlo.com - Al is awesome, Al is a beast, Al is smart as hell. 'Nuff said. ZombieFit.com - If you're looking for some fun circuit style workouts. I think it's an off-shoot of CrossFit, and it focuses on a combination of bodyweight training and HIIT. When I'm looking to mix up conditioning workouts from time to time, I like this site. NerdFitness.com - you may have heard of it...Steve has some awesome BW training templates. RealAnimeTraining.com - not all bodyweight, but has tons of awesome workouts based on those of famous anime characters, including an entire series of DragonBall workouts, Hajime no Ippo templates, Baki the Grappler, Naruto, even some Western stuff like Avatar the Last Airbender. If you're looking for a killer workout, check out Uncle Iroh's Prison Workout on this site! Nutrition is fairly simple. Just eat whole, real, unprocessed foods. the Whole30 from Whole9 health is a great starting point. Basically, for 30 days, you entirely eliminate sugar, grains, dairy, legumes, and artificial ingredients. This allows your body to get used to a very basic template of non-inflammatory foods. After the 30 days are over, you can start re-introducing the foods you left out and determine what sort of diet works best for you. Hope this helps!

I used to do Habitat for Humanity. It's something I'd like to get back into.

Could it potentially be a problem with wrist strength?

I'm looking for a solid cartwheel tutorial too!

Good morning, Assassins! The last challenge was quite a doozy, and you all did an awesome job. The winner of the challenge in the normal category is azsf from Squad C, who performed an insane 275 squats and 265 push-ups over the course of the circuit. We also wanted to reward Damy from Squad B for taking it to the next level and performing pistol squats and incline push-ups You're both animals, fellas. Your reward is +2 CONS for keeping yourselves together during that 15 minutes of insanity. Since everyone who participated did something so awesome, you also get a prize. All participants in the second challenge receive +1 CONS as well. Great job, guys, keep up the hard work. Now, onto the next order of business... The Third Challenge So far in our challenges, we've covered strength, speed, and endurance, by Ryan Sannar and I asked ourselves, what else makes an Assassin an Assassin? The answer is pretty obvious... We need a challenge to improve our Stealth. With that in mind, here is your new task: 1. Infiltration We need to gather intel, Assassins, and we need your help. The first part of this challenge is to choose a guild, one where the focus is one with which you're unfamiliar. Don't know anything about Yoga? Go to the Druid's Circle. Unfamiliar with Barbell training? Pop into the Warrior's Forge. When you're there, collect 3 pieces of information that's brand new to you, and post what you learn in this thread 2. Recruitment Your second task is to recruit new members for the guild. We need eyes everywhere we can have them. These people can be anyone - other forum members, friends, family, whoever. Have your new recruits post in this thread, and have them tell us who recruited them. The Reward If you accomplish task 1, you will be rewarded with +1 WIS. If you accomplish task 2, you will be rewarded with +1 CHA. Accomplish both and you get each prize. Tracking Track what you find in this thread. Later, I'll try to create a spreadsheet to organize the info. Deadline This challenge will go from now until Friday, June 1st, at 11:59 PM. Good luck, Assassins.

True motivation is developed intrinsically. A girl like that is not someone to whom you want to dedicate your time.

Definitely Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. EVERY WORD IN THAT SENTENCE WAS CAPITALIZED

Heavy squats, weighted pull-ups, handstands, and sprinting. Dat testosterone, it make-a me feel so nice.

That sounds like a great idea for a book.

My big crazy stupid goal is to compete on Ninja Warrior or American Ninja warrior when I'm 25 years old. To do this, I'm going to train my ass off for the next 3 years, and train every discipline I can possibly do - climbing, running, lifting, calisthenics, parkour, slacklining, handbalancing, gymnastics, anything and everything for which I have the opportunity. I love to train hard, but I'm not interested in distance running anymore, nor am I interested in any lifting-specific competitions. I'm highly interested in obstacle course type stuff, and Ninja Warrior would just be an absolute dream. I've wanted to do it since I was 18, and I'm going to focus all of my energy into it for the next 3 years and do my absolute best to make it happen.

On my rest days I do skill work (handstands, L-sits, and combat skills), stretching, and low level activity like walking and light cycling. It is okay to go to work.

Wow guys, awesome job with this challenge. Ryan Sannar and I will run the numbers today, determine a winner (I'm thinking it might be a good idea to have a few winners - maybe one from the "Normal" squats/push-ups category and one who did something like jumps/pistols/etc, will have to see). There will be a new challenge up later this week!

Deal.

Man, this has not been the best week for me, challenge-wise. Hardly got any sleep, didn't put any money into my savings, got a little crazy with the credit card...next week will be better, but man, this week was rough.

I usually just google "(nerdy thing) (item I want)." I think that's the easiest thing. Also Amazon.com is a surprisingly good resource. That's where I got my Aperture Science mug!

Headstands and crow stands are a good place to start. That's how I got started doing handstands - once I could hold a headstand for 60 seconds, I advanced to the crow stand. When I was able to hold that for 60, then I moved to a wall handstand with relative ease. You can also do pike push-ups for shoulder strength.

I train in my apartment and in my little apartment gym. The only equipment I use is a pull-up bar, a heavy bag/speed bag for combat training, and a barbell on lifting days. Nothing crazy exciting. Gets the job done. Can't wait to build my own gym someday.

HEY SQUAD C! It's week three - how are y'all faring?

HEY BEAST SQUAD! How's the third week treatin' ya?

That is amazing, my friend. Great article, awesome job.
