Ryuu1011 Performs Human Transmutation Challenge #4: June 8th- July 19 Transmute My Fat: Turn the Fat into Muscle Goal One: Loose 2% of my body fat [and maybe -3lbs] (+2 Cha, +1 Con) Starting Body Fat: 15.4% Goal: 13% Starting Weight: 153lbs Goal: 150lbs I've got my diet pretty well under control (so long as I stay away from the cookies...) and would like to push harder into the 13% or lower body fat range. Since I'm mostly going to be aiming to loose fat and build muscle I'm unsure of if I will actually loose weight or gain weight, so I'm not setting a hard goal there I'm just guessing I've got a few more lbs to loose before I really focus on only building muscle. Transmute My Skills: Get that F'n Handstand Goal Two: 15 Second Free Standing Handstand (+2 Dex, +2 Stam, +1 Str) & At least 5 minutes of handstand practice 7 Days a week. ___/42 So if any of you have been following me for the past two challenges you will know that one of my goals has been to hold a decent handstand (15 seconds) and it has eluded me so far, BUT NOT THIS CHALLENGE! I AM GOING TO GET IT THIS TIME. I will also be working on my push press/ crow press into handstand but that's not really a main goal, just a fun thing I found out I could do a few days ago. Transmute My Body: Get Bendy Goal Three: Improve my Flexibility. (+3 Dex, +1 Wis) GMB's Flexibility Routine 7 Times a week. ___/42 and Do Yoga 3 Time a week. ___/18 I know that improving my flexibility would help me out in many areas of my fitness so that is going to be one of my goal for this challenge. I bought the app 'Yoga Studio' for my iPhone last week and I am really enjoying the beginning yoga routines on there, and they also have intermediate and advance so I know it will still be helpful for quite a while. I'm also considering getting GMB's Focused Flexibility Routine but don't know if I'll have the money for it till I get paid at the end of the month, but I should be able to afford it I got FF and am going to use it during this challenge to work on my hip flexibility while still continuing to use my yoga app to increase my general flexibility. Transmute My Mind: Learn another Language Goal Four: Learn some Spanish. Get 20+exp everyday in Duo Lingo and get a 42 day streak. ___/42 (I will allow the use of the streak freeze item in Duo Lingo once and still give myself full credit) If you didn't already know I'm an Art Teacher and I have a lot of students who speak Spanish and little to no English so to be better able to communicate with them I would like to learn some basic Spanish. If you are on duo lingo and want to be friends feel free to add me I'm (shockingly) www.duolingo.com/Ryuu1011 and would be happy with some language friends Boss Battle: The Summer Fellowship I will be fighting the dreaded Work Demon over the course of the summer and hope to be able to conquer him with my fitness routines & habits still intact and have a calisthenics routine ready for when I will be unable to make it to the gym. (I got a teaching fellowship for over the summer and want to make sure that I stay in shape when my routine and schedule are changing constantly from week to week) Loot: (Some Possibilities) Yoga Cashe: Mat, Bag, Blocks, Socks, Gloves Progress Photos: End of 2nd Challenge vs End of 3rd Challenge (i.e Start of the 4th Challenge) April 16, 2015 vs May 21, 2015BF 17% vs BF 15% These are the progress photos from the "Total Body Transformation Challenge" that I didMarch 30, 2015 vs May 25, 2015BF 17% vs BF 14% And yes, I did shave my chest for the TBT Challenge and since I love you guys so much I took before and after photos of that too (mostly for the lols, but I must admit you can the see the definition in my muscles better) RIP Pelt you will grow back soon...
