Silent Jay's Beast Mode Challenge Overview / Motivation: Ramping up from my respawn challenge. Made some good progress over the past 6 weeks, but need to elevate to the next level and rebuild the fire inside. In life, I have been wound pretty tight over the past several months and need to channel the resulting stress, frustration and anger into something more healthy and productive. The biggest hurdle for this challenge will be the need to get the workouts in each morning since after work is a bit chaotic in terms of spending time with family, baby duty, and school. The weight training component will be based on the Body Beast routine – I think this goes a bit against what NerdFitness is all about in terms of more natural movements, etc., but personally I feel like I have been doing the same type of routine for so long that it is feeling a bit stale and I need to introduce a new dynamic. The 90 Day routine should provide more structure and accountability and help rebuild my routine. Main Quest: This quest will go beyond this challenge (and probably the next few), but my main quest is to hit the following benchmarks in strength and dexterity/stamina: · Bench Press 300 lbs. · Squat 300 lbs. · Complete 20 Pull Ups · Complete 20 Minutes of Hill Sprints (NerdFitness Academy: Ranger Quest) Side Quests: Average 4 Weightlifting Routines per week Points Potential: STR +5 Grading: A= Average 4 lift per week B= Average 3 lifts per week C= Average 2 lift per week F= Average 1 lifts per week Complete daily static stretching & 5 Lumosity Training Sessions per week Points Potential: CON +2, WIS +3 Grading A= Average daily stretching and 4 Lumosity Sessions B= Average 90 % daily stretching and 3 Lumosity Sessions C= Average 80 - 89% daily stretching and 2 Lumosity Sessions D= Average 70-79 % daily stretching and 1 Lumosity Sessions F= Average <70% daily stretching and 0 Lumosity Sessions Complete ’14 Days to 100 Burpees’ Challenge from the Coach App & Average 2 Heavy Bag Routines per week Revision: Dropped Heavy Bag Routine from 3x to 2x a week Points Potential: STA +3, DEX +2 Grading A= Average 2 Heavy Bag Workouts and Complete Burpee Challenge B= Average 2 Heavy Bag Workouts and Complete 90% Burpee Challenge C= Average 1 Heavy Bag Workouts and Complete 80% Burpee Challenge D= Average 1 Heavy Bag Workouts and Complete 70% Burpee Challenge F= Average <1 Heavy Bag Workouts and Complete 60% Burpee Challenge Life Quest: N/A for this Challenge Points Potential: N/A Grading N/A Initial Stats (2/22/2015) Race: Human Age: 30 Height: 5’10†Weight: 184 BMI: 26.4 Body Fat %: 14.1% Waist: Hips: Chest: Bicep: Thigh: Calf: Neck:
