Hey there warriors! I'm Pretzle. I've done 8 (seriously? Yeah, almost can't believe it) challenges so far, 7 of which with the assassins. I love my crew. Things is, over the last few challenges I've slowly changed my approach to exercise and my definition of fun to ... ok, mostly squatting, but anything requiring weights and focussed on strength. I want to learn more, explore more and eh, yes squat my bodyweight within the next few weeks So, I'm joining you awesome beasts for this challenge. + = Pretzle squatting her bodyweight! Goals: 1) SQUAT! I currently squat 60 kgs. I weigh about 64, so bodyweight is going to happen this challenge. (Unless… weird stuff happens). Hmmm 6 weeks, will have to find a new gym. is 70 a good goal (or higher/lower?) I aim for 3 x 5 at highest weight I can comfortably squat. 60 was still very doable, but I'm (wisely?) taking it slow. 2) For the mind Therapy. Necessary, challenging, often painful and exhausting. I need to go, and do any homework I might (read: will) get. Don’t just nod at the tips she gives me, actually try them. Oh, and take care of myself after sessions by resting and taking it easy. 3) Research! I know underpants are not useful. So… - I will read one book on weight lifting. - I will find a gym (within the first two weeks after the school gym closes… So after June 25th) to continue my progress over the summer. - I will do at least one lesson with either a PT or at a powerlifting gym (now I’m scared. lol). - I will learn about other lifts Lifegoal: In my signature you can find a link to my summer spreadsheet of epicness. I get bored EASILY. I'm a teacher, which means the summer break is quite long. Please help me by adding one (or a few, or a lot) idea to my spreadsheet so I can use it when I have to stop myself from going crazy over the summer! Thanks so much! I'll keep you guys updated on what I've done from the list.
