Hi All, Here's my Level 1 quest - And this will be my battle log thread.

[Reserved for personal introduction]

Hi Fellow NF'ers, Hope that everyone is doing well and up to date with their challenge objectives. I have just respawned (since I did a Level 1 challenge earlier this year) and thought that I would start off with the Level 1 challengers as that's probably where I am in life right now. I'm also joining this challenge in the middle of the challenge, so what I've decided to do is use the rest of the 2 weeks to properly assess my dreams and goals and figure out what exactly I want to achieve, and then move to the appropriate guild from the next challenge. My Goals for this challenge are: 1. Complete my full life goal list and broken down SMART goals. This may sound like it should be something that I should do in the week before the challenge, but I have found that my life is busy and not only do I need to plan out my challenges but I also need to balance my work\family\personal life (which is the challenging part of it). Then my next challenge I'll plan in activities that are helping me achieve these goals. 2. Form a Forum habit - I'm not great and admin, so I would like to create a proper battle log on here and list my fitness activities (and maybe some other personal achievements) so that it keeps me honest. Hopefully by the time the next challenge starts I'll be fairly in the routine of keeping this up to date. Here is where I am for my current planning (Note, this is obviously still WIP and what I'm planning to have figured out by the end of the challenge) Quests Goals Goal Categories SMART Goals Fitness and Physique Fitness - i.e. My ability to constantly perform during exercise Endurance Run 5km in under 25 minutes by [XYZ] Run 10km in under 55 minutes by [XYZ] Speed Run 200m in under [XYZ] by [XYZ] Run 500m in under [XYZ] by [XYZ] Run 1km in under [XYZ] by [XYZ] Physique - i.e. My overall body look and feel Weight Body Fat - Achieve 12% body fat by [XYZ] Body Measurements Community - i.e. CrossFit Attend CrossFit 3-4x per week Competition Compete in at least 1 CrossFit tournament by [XYZ] Wealth Debt Free Remain Debt Free (Excl Home Loan) Savings Long Term Plan Investments Retirement Family and Friends Family Traditions Religion Church Home Group Intellect Reading Studying Mind Focus In terms of a personal introduction on myself. I'll put this in the following post on this thread (since I'm a little occupied at this particular moment and want to submit this)

Following. You got this!

Nice one! Congrats. I'm in a similar position, takes mad strength.

Business handled. Nice work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hah thanks from my challenge this month I was aiming to just do 1 and then managed to bust out 5 *flex* Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just wanted to woot! Have been doing them assisted for awhile and slowly reducing the assistance. Busted out some today with no assistance First set 5 Second set 4 Third set 3

Sorry for the delay, was wanting to attempt this on the weekend but had a baby that didn't want me going to the gym. Went to the gym today, BOOM, 5 body weight chinups, then 4 body weight chinups, then 3 body weight chinups. See below proof of purchase Disclaimer: 1. Sorry in advance for the fat stomach hanging out. The angle is from below and rather awkward, didn't want to be branded one of those "gym selfie kids"

Wow, arms are broken. My quest is to do 1 body weight chin up, which is pretty challenging at 100kgs. Best I've managed is to have 10kgs assisted, which is pretty damn close and I should be able to do the 1 chin up by the end of the challenge. Anyways, at gym today I decided to do 5 chin ups every minute with the weight reducing (i.e. my chin up becoming easier) by 5kgs for 15 minutes. Minute #01 - 5 reps - 20kgs assisted Minute #02 - 5 reps - 25kgs assisted Minute #03 - 5 reps - 30kgs assisted Minute #04 - 5 reps - 35kgs assisted Minute #05 - 5 reps - 40kgs assisted Minute #06 - 5 reps - 45kgs assisted Minute #07 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted (kept the weight at 50 from here down) Minute #08 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #09 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #10 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #11 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #12 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #13 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #14 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Minute #15 - 5 reps - 50kgs assisted Even with the 50kgs that's a lot of reps and ended up being tough. Hopefully it works, Saturday or Sunday will be test day for me to do my numero uno pull up

Hahah man too funny! Could really nearly be it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought myself a massive ankle brace, called a Shock Doctor 851, I ran 6km yesterday (slowly) in 40 minutes on a relatively flat road track. Ankle is slightly sore today so might keep it easy for a bit longer. To be honest I think I need to drop the distance a little while starting out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow impressive, congrats! Mad props as that's HEAVY!

Thanks! Have been icing and elevating, have found that Voltaren works well too. New baby is going fairly well, we seem to have our good days and our bad days. Nappy changes aren't too bad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool, just wanted to check

I struggle with pull-ups, i weight 100kgs which makes it tough. Am able to do it with assisted at -20kgs, but with no assistance I can't even do 1 . I doubt your form would be off, a pull up action is quite easy to see what to do, but maybe record yourself and check? Just to note here, Deadlift is an amazing compound exercise to do for your body as it works out a ton of muscles, but doing 4x5 is going to be tough. I currently just do 1x5 and that's enough to deliver the muscle.

The above was from my intro, I went for a quick treadmill run today at the gym. 2.5km in 20 minutes, short and slow, but felt good to do some running again. My ankle is slightly sore now, I'm going to try and find a hardcore ankle guard that I can wear.

Quest Update Time. I haven't been doing too bad, my baby is 4 weeks old now so have to shuffle to the gym\exercise as often as possible but isn't always possible.
