Blocky Visits Dimension C-137...

[Blocky]

 

Ahhh... a themed challenge...

 

I have some goals:

 

Build the Citadel of Blocks

Obviously based on the Citadel of Ricks, this will just be my rolling goal of collecting PRs. +1 STR for each PR or Rep PR.

 

 

Get ready to fight the Glactic Federation

This is my cardio goal. This time it is all based on weighted conditioning session which will be done 6 days per week. +1 CON for 30/30 sessions.

 

Take the Anti-Pickle serum

I'm going to track my supplement intake - historically, I'm extremely hit and miss. +1 CON for 30/35 days.

 

 

Get Schwifty!

I'm going to re-introduce kicking my hackysack as my DEX goal. +1 DEX for at least 5 mins 30/35 days.

 

 

Use Rick's Cognition Amplifier

I need to be doing extra work for my Russian-ing. +1 INT for every EXTRA session I do during the weeks (ie: NOT including my lessons or the cramming that occurs before my lessons).

 

Eat all the Strawberry Smiggles!

I need to make some better food choices. I've maintained 95 kg for several months on Keto which I'm happy with but my food quality could be improved. This goal is fairly nebulous, but I'mgoing with +1 WIS for every week I make better decisions.

 

 

That's it for now!

Only conditioning today.

 

Conditioning:

-5 mins of hackysack as a warm up - worked on toe stalls and general precision drills. Also a bit of free play.

Week 1

Wed 8 Aug:

 

Training:

Bench day.

 

-Bench with Slingshot: New PR @ 137.5kg. Probably could have done 140+ but my method is to break a PR once and move on.

-Strict OHP: 3s @ 52.5kg

-Beltless Squats: 5s @ 80kg (Just adding an extra day in for practice and extra volume)

-BB row: 5s @ 65kg (this exercise is no longer hurting my ribs which is a good sign)

-Tricep Extensions: 8s

 

Conditioning:

-150 leg presses @ 150kg in 19 mins (I have a vague recollection of doing this in 14 mins in the past - but it's only day 3 of conditioning so I'll let it pass)

 

All the other Stuff:

-Still got some supplements to go, but they're laid on the desk ready to take.

-No Russian today.

-10 mins of hacky sack time.

Sounds like you had a pretty special and intimate relationship with this hackeysack, and that losing it was almost comparable to losing a loved one. /kiwi

Well, I was going to ask how you knew for sure the pup had consumed it, but the obvious guilt upon said pup's visage is all the evidence needed..

i saw that on insta and was wondering what she destroyed!! bummer. worth it to order a new one?

Thyroid health. I've historically been a bit short on salting my food with iodised table salt and rarely eat any of the food that are high in iodine (seafoods and seaweedse etc). An unhappy thyroid equals a shitty metabolism, so I'm trying to speed it all up a little.

I've ordered 4 new ones. But they will take a while to arrive, so I'll roll that into mynext challenge I guess...

Well, in theory, that could also be the "if you really loved me you would give me cheese" face...

That's the kind of circumstantial evidence that might be able to disprove my theory.

To be fair... she does often do the "give me cheese" face....
