Red1263 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 "Ahhh... Thank you, I greatly appreciate your assistance." The Figure replied after staying in place for what seemed like an eternity as Red1263 struggled with Gravity magic. "Oh! It looks like you've gotten errr something... of a handle on it." Red1263, still floating in midair and trying to contain the sudden boost of Gravity magic. His replies are through strains and grunts, "Oh yeah... Totally... Got it... I'm just dandy..." "Huh... may I offer a suggestion?" "... Yeah?... I'm all... ears." A sinister smile comes across the Figure's face as his eyes light up! "How about weee... Fight!" "... Beg pardon?" "What are you doing?!" Red1263 cried out as he was able to stop himself from slamming into the walls. "I am trying to help you with this! I'm not here to fight you!" "Exactly! I heard somewhere that the best way to learn is under intense, life threatening pressure! Take this! Gravita!" "No! No one says that! Ever!" Red1263 says as he stops himself again, mid air. But judging by the look in the Figure's eyes, as he lifts himself and starts to fly towards Red1263, his words fell on deaf ears. 'Crap! Guess I have no choice!' He thinks to himself, "Wait! At least tell me who you are!" The Figure stops in mid air, "Oh!... I guess I never introduced myself! How silly of me! I am the Gravity Knight!" Let's see you handle this! Attack with a silent roar! Gravitaga! Goals! Pull-ups: I have to get this one! He's moving too fast for me! Goal: 5 Pull-ups consecutively Weighted stance: Ha! Let's see you try to handle this! Adding Weight/Difficulty to my routine: Monday: Work on shortening my 1-mile time Be able to run the trail twice without stopping/taking a break Wednesday: Pull-ups, Farmer's Walks, Elevated Push-ups, seated Bicep curls (), Friday: Weighted shadowboxing. Speed drills Handstands: Huh, why is the ceiling getting closer to me? Begin Handstand practice by following this Tuesdays and Thursdays Goal: 1 min wall handstand. 3 1 Quote Level 25 Final Fantasy Rebel My Epic Quest | My Journey | Currently on the Trial of Orthos Str: 60 | Dex: 23 | Sta: 66 | Con: 28 | Wis: 55 | Cha: 14 Goals for 2021: Spoiler Build my brother a Destiny 2 Lamp Learn how to do a Handstand Play 1 song on the acoustic guitar Clean up the Christmas Decorations and finish setting up my apartment (hang things up, plus some other few things that need to be organized) Re-introduce Pull-ups into my routine Build a shelving unit next to my Desk "No matter what, if you can hold your head up high, you've done the right thing."

What day is it? I forget, so I'll start with Sunday! My co-workers and I have decided to trail run at a local park on Sunday, and we did so again today, So I'm going to change my challenge a bit...

You know, I have no idea, it doesn't seem like it's long, but running it is enough to burn the lungs a bit. I'll track it when I get a chance to. * * * Warrior Assassin Wednesday! 3 sets of 10 reps Warm up Pull-ups: 3, 2 Plank: 1min, 1 min Bicep curls: @25 lbs - 10 10 Overhead press: @ 40 lbs - 10 10 Goblet Squats: @ 50 lbs - 15 15 Chest Press: @ 45 lbs - 10 10 Farmer's Walk: @ 30 lbs - 10, 6 1-arm Rows: @ 50 lbs - 10, 10 I felt my Right hand start to give a little due to the pain that has been occurring lately, so I kept this to 2 sets, also I got called to a hospital. But for the most part, I'm liking the difficulty that is being set, Pull-ups are naturally a challenge, but the Farmer's walk is surprizingly challenging. I'm a little shocked that I couldn't finish the set. Oh well, I have to keep going. Also on an unrelated note, I've signed up to do the Spartan Obstacle course, I was going to go in mid-May, but they pushed it back to a TBD date, I've been wanting to do one of these for a while, I'm very excited! 2 Quote Level 25 Final Fantasy Rebel My Epic Quest | My Journey | Currently on the Trial of Orthos Str: 60 | Dex: 23 | Sta: 66 | Con: 28 | Wis: 55 | Cha: 14 Goals for 2021: Spoiler Build my brother a Destiny 2 Lamp Learn how to do a Handstand Play 1 song on the acoustic guitar Clean up the Christmas Decorations and finish setting up my apartment (hang things up, plus some other few things that need to be organized) Re-introduce Pull-ups into my routine Build a shelving unit next to my Desk "No matter what, if you can hold your head up high, you've done the right thing."

Trail running without dying! So today we had another person join us in the run, and I did my best to keep up, these guys are all members of a gym and had run Spartan/Obstacle courses before, so in my mind, I didn't want to show them that my legs felt like Jelly the whole time. 2 Quote Level 25 Final Fantasy Rebel My Epic Quest | My Journey | Currently on the Trial of Orthos Str: 60 | Dex: 23 | Sta: 66 | Con: 28 | Wis: 55 | Cha: 14 Goals for 2021: Spoiler Build my brother a Destiny 2 Lamp Learn how to do a Handstand Play 1 song on the acoustic guitar Clean up the Christmas Decorations and finish setting up my apartment (hang things up, plus some other few things that need to be organized) Re-introduce Pull-ups into my routine Build a shelving unit next to my Desk "No matter what, if you can hold your head up high, you've done the right thing."
