Hello Assassins! You might be a little confused… my avatar says I'm a Warrior, so what could I possibly be doing here?!? Well don't be mistaken my agile friends—I am a Warrior at heart—but for my second challenge I wanted to attempt things I never thought I could do. Note: Last challenge two of my goals were to complete 3 StrongLifts workouts/week and drink >64oz of water/day. I will continue these since the aim of that challenge was to create long-term habits. AND SO IT BEGINS… MAIN QUESTProve to myself that everything is within my reach (with enough determination, hard work & follow-through!). GOALS Perform a handstand. I have extremely poor upper-body strength and have never really stuck with anything physical long enough to build up a skill for it. Performing a successful handstand means I have conquered the strength to hold the pose, the agility to tweak my muscles & stance quickly, and the balance to stay up there. 2 STR + 2 DEX + 1 WIS Perform (left, right & center) splits. The splits have always been a 'wow' thing for me. It's something everyone can do with persistence… but only a few take the time to master. Achieving this would really impress myself. 4 STA + 1 STR Complete 1 unassisted pull-up. This is the ultimate test of badassery. Only the really strong can do pull-ups and with my weak upper body, this will be a true feat! 4 STR + 1 STA(These points were kind of a stretch – I welcome any advice on how to allocate them!) (Here's a preview of me after I've bossed the hell outta this challenge) LIFE SIDE QUESTDesign & code my sister's video portfolio site (rollover LQ from my first challenge.) MOTIVATIONI am not a quitter.
