Parsnip Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 So... since I have been going full tilt into olympic lifting this year, I figure I'm not really a Ranger at the moment Like with my stint with the Druids, I'm going to focus my next challenges around strength training so I don't split my time around too many things (and not get anything done!) No theme for this one, it's enough of a difference to be in the Warrior guild Sticking with my weekly point system. My Quests: Follow my oly lifting program and lift 5x weekly +1pt per session, +2 bonus for getting all 5 done Meal planning and shopping using Eat This Much +3 for weekly meal plan, +2 per grocery shop (2x weekly) Get back into learning fiddle music Pick three pieces to learn +3pts each Practice once a week +4pts per practice Go for a bike ride or walk at least once a week +4pts weekly, +2pts bonus for additional walks/rides Rewards: 64pts = violin stand 80pts = 1 month additional remote coaching in oly lifting 90pts = 15kg bumper plate (I only have one atm haha) I might post a few videos up here of any cool lifts I manage during the challenge - I am still at the super beginner stage though!! I was getting nowhere teaching myself, so I have started paying an intestate coach to program for me and give me help. Four weeks in and I'm miles ahead of where I was before, it's going great 6 Quote Level 10 | Gnome Ranger WARRIOR!!

Gemma Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 I like the point system! I have a secret deep desire to learn Oly lifts, but I'm in recovery from hand surgery right now and my coach (wisely) won't even teach me to power clean until I get my deadlift back up to where it was before - so I'm just gonna tag along and enjoy your Oly journey vicariously. 4 Quote “The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure." -Joseph Campbell 2022 Challenges: Push, Core, Simple, Pooh, Timebox, NaNoWriMo 2023 Challenges: 20SOC, Travel, Battery, Song n'Dance Link to comment

Parsnip Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 So day 1 went to a great start - had to skip my lifting session [emoji14]Tonight was good though - i did a bit of max testing on Saturday and *just* failed a 50kg clean. Well tonight I was doing 15min of power clean singles and ended up doing one @50kg easy haha!!Good motivation for working on my full clean technique... 2 Quote Level 10 | Gnome Ranger WARRIOR!!

Parsnip Posted March 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 This week has been a little crazy since my SO has been doing even longer shifts than me and nobody's home to do the housework Time for a points update to keep me on track! Food - has been going really well. It's been consuming time, but I've just told myself to keep going So far we haven't been resorting to takeaway or anything, and I spent yesterday doing this week's meal plan & shopping trip +7 points Lifting - have done the full week so far, though I had to cut a couple sets out of my last session so I didn't go to bed too late! +3 points Walks - did one on monday, took advantage of nice weather. But there won't be any time for it the rest of the week unfortunately +4 points Violin - on sunday I picked a piece (off youtube for something different), but didn't get much practice time. I guess when you don't get a violin out for a while it decides to be difficult. The strings were loose, but the bridge came off when I tightened them. It's still in one piece though, will hopefully be fine from now on!! +7 points Total: 14 + 7 + 12 + 7 = 40 points I think the main thing I should remind myself to do is get the violin out again before sunday...everything else should just happen 3 Quote Level 10 | Gnome Ranger WARRIOR!!
