This is what it says on the Academy, though I'm sure I've read it on the main blog somewhere as well, just can't find the link now.

Hi guys! I'm new to the forums but not new to Nerd Fitness. I've been following the blog on and off for years - more "on" the last couple. Some of you might know me from one or more of the Facebook groups or from Camp. I'm a warrior-assassin-adventurer and I eat sort-of paleo. By which I mostly mean I try to avoid grains in favour of vegetables. I have never really eaten much sugar, processed food or fizzy drinks. But I don't stop myself from having the odd sandwich either! Warrior stuff - I've been powerlifting for nearly a year now. I've been finding it hard to get back into post-Camp though - have only been a couple of times in the last month and a bit. Steve wrote about "treading water" somewhere - when you get overwhelmed, making sure you're at least not going backwards, even if you're not making much progress. So I'm trying to go once a week at the minimum. But more on that in my 4-week challenge post... Assassin stuff - I really identified as an assassin (so to speak!) way sooner than I identified as a warrior. I read one of the "what class are you?" posts and the intro to parkour one and got super excited. I was doing bodyweight training at home before work for quite a while before I got into powerlifting, but then that took over for a while. I recently read Steve's article about using gymnastics rings and I've bought a couple to play around with. So we'll see how that goes Adventurer stuff - the new class! When they added it, I knew it was me I've always been a curious traveller. I took a few months to travel before university and another few afterwards. During that time I jumped for cool new opportunities and doing cool new things. I also did it while at uni - trying judo, paragliding, Chinese brush painting, etc. I felt like I'd lost a bit of that recently - that it had been a while since I'd been on a proper "adventure". So I signed up for and went to Camp Nerd Fitness, which was an adventure all of its own. What else? I live in Edinburgh. I'm in my (very) late twenties. I have two geckos. I'm a software developer. I have a list of 101 goals that I'm trying to achieve in 1001 days. That's it for now! Itti
