Anim07734 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 We've just received notice that the G.I.Joe team is recruiting, and they'd like us to try out! Just sign up on the spreadsheet! Each week some Joes will visit the Guild to assign tasks and judge our performance. Perform as many as you'd like to see how you do! Normal Mini-Challenge Rules: - Mini-challenges are not mandatory, feel free to ignore this one if you don't want to participate. - Don't let mini-challenges hinder your own goals. - If you're not sure how to register something, post it here. - Keep it simple! - Don't hurt yourself! 3 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

Anim07734 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Week 1 of your recruitment will run until Sunday, 29Apr at 11:59PM Central Time! Our instructors for this week are: Clutch As the Joe's lead driver, Clutch is most concerned with keeping the motor pool running smoothly. Impress him by helping move parts while he works by performing any squat exercise of your choice. Only exercises with a personal AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) of 25 or less can be counted, though! Doc Doc is the Joe's medic and will be keeping an eye on everyone throughout training. Impress him by performing any core hold of your choice to demonstrate your overall fitness. Only exercises with a personal AMSAP (As Many Seconds As Possible) of 45sec or less can be counted, though! Snake Eyes Snake Eyes doesn't really need an introduction. He's Snake Eyes. He also isn't giving us any direction, so let's relax and focus for whatever comes next. Log your time spent meditating (in minutes) to earn Snake Eyes approval. Mutt & Junkyard Mutt & Junkyard are an inseparable pair and keeping up with them isn't going to be easy. Log your time spent running and walking (in minutes) to impress them. Only dedicated exercise time counts, not your normal walking throughout the day. 5 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

FearlesslyFree Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Guys, I'm a PE teacher, does getting active at work count? I spent about 20 minutes.. and that's being conservative running and walking around in the call of duty. Can I count that? Also pertaining to the squats, that one has me really thinking, I can easily do most squats, unless you're referring to single leg squats.... that means... okay... I'll see what I can do.

JediNickD Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Most the core exercises I do regularly, I can knock out more than 20, so it is just Toes-to-Bar for now. Monkey bars are my climbing, which is great cardio too. I don't do much for parkour, but I could do some rolls or something. Study time I had planned to crush this week, but my plan is getting crushed instead. Imaging place didn't copy my MRIs so I have to go back today at lunch time, which cuts out time I was going to work on my IJRS homework. Thursday I am already working through lunch and Friday I was having lunch with a friend. I have Toastmasters tonight and tomorrow, which will count for study time, but I wanted to get more Jedi studying done this week.
