WizardTrip Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 The Furyan took out Thor and came out a Wizard! Awhawhawhat!?!?!?Whosoever builds a staff of beer, if it be taller than he, shall transform into a Wizard.[table=class: outer_border, width: 550, align: center][/td]Character Name:WizardTripLevel4Race:FuryanClass:WarriorAge:32Height / Weight:6'3 / ~225Stats:New Pts / Current Tot.9.25 / 51.00STR:21.25DEX:5.75STA:7.75WIS:9.50CON:3.50CHA:3.25[/table][TABLE=class: outer_border, width: 650, align: center]Fitness Goals:0/9 - Big 3: Squat 265->295; Bench 185->200; DL 405->425 - no 1RM goals this time. time to increase my working setsSTR +3 - Pull-ups / Push-ups: 12 / 50 - currently at 8 / ~40ish. want to push hard on this one.STR +2 STA +1 - Mobility: 2 MWODs per week - my failure. decrease from 3 to 2...surely i can do this.DEX +3Diet Goals:0/3 - No grains, 4 days a week- yep...no grains. meat, veggies, and dairy only.CON +3Life Goal:0/3 - Finish Steve Jobs' biography - i don't care for reading, but want to do this.WIS +3[/TABLE]Background:Level 1Start of Challenge Post / End of Challenge PostLevel 2Start of Challenge Post / End of Challenge PostLevel 3Start of Challenge Post / End of Challenge Post Goals:FitnessBig 3 Working Sets: Squat 265->295; Bench 185->200; Deadlift 405->425 STR +3- Finally broke past 475 and hit 485 on the DL, so this time around, no goals will be focused on 1RM. It's time to get my working sets up. I know I'm gonna be stretching it a bit here, but its called a challenge for a reason, right? Of course, I'm still aiming for that 500+ DL for the CoreyD, BigM, & WizardTrip PvPvP....but again, won't be the focus of this challenge.Pull-ups / Push-ups: 12 / 50 STR +2 STA +1- I'm at 8 pull-ups and ~40ish push-ups. 10 pull-ups is not far off, but it has stayed just out of reach. I haven't been doing much in this area for awhile, so I know that if I ramp it up a bit, I can easily hit 10, but that's not gonna be enough for this challenge. I want to hit 12 pull-ups and over 50 push-ups.Mobility: 2 MWODs per week DEX +3- Well, hello there. We meet again for the 3rd time. We must have gotten off on the wrong foot. Something went wrong somewhere...*cough* *cough* pain cave *cough*. Let's start over again. My name is WizardTrip....formerly known as icedtrip....can we be friends? We'll take it nice a slow. No need to rush this with meeting 3 times a week. I don't want to crowd you, so we can just meet a couple times a week. If we hit it off, maybe we can spend a bit more time together, but no need to go there just yet. Yes, this is a much better start.DietNo grains, 4 days a week CON +3- No diet or life goal relating to drinking? WOH!! Yep....didn't want all you NFers to start thinking I'm an alcoholic. Switchin' it up! Gave brief thought to Whole30, but was quickly informed that I wouldn't be able to drink (doh! i swear I'm not an alcoholic!). Staci and I chatted for a brief couple minutes in Boston about paleo which ended with her just suggesting I give it a shot since I still want to drop ~20lbs before bulking back up. I'm not quite there yet, so this is my start. No grain products for 4 days a week. Easy enough.LifeFinish Steve Jobs' biography WIS +3- So, I'm not a big reader. Never have been, but I got Steve Jobs' biography when it was on pre-order. I made it ~5 chapters in until I got distracted with other life things. I want to finish this book, and thanks to Mama T making a status update on FB about it earlier today, I now have a life goal. Thanks Mama T! Photos:I haven't taken any pictures for a couple of challenges. I'll get some taken to post in the next couple of days.[table=class: grid, width: 500, align: center]FrontSideBack[td][/table]And...You lookin' at my Wizard Staff???Oh..yeah...*chica chica* Level 6 Wizard of Beer Warrior STR 21.25 | DEX 5.75 | STA 7.75 | CON 3.50 | WIS 9.50 | CHA 3.25 Twitter | Epic Trip | Current Challenge Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 *the warrior formerly known as icedtrip and former dothraki god of thunder furyan* Link to comment

Max Power Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I can't decide if I should be "guy in pink hat on left" or "guy in pink hat on the right" in that picture. My gut says guy on right. The path to Swolehalla is paved with a lot of Swolehate, and you won't get there without being Swole of Spirit too.

WizardTrip Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Was pulled into stupid meetings yesterday, then had no time last night to jot down the goals. They will be going up today.....I swear it! They will be filled with all sorts of good stuff ... like lifting things, something to better myself with a change to some dieting habit, another something to better my life in some wonderful way, and maybe....just maybe something involving mobility since I've utterly failed twice on that one.It will be epic*It will be awe inspiring*It will make you question all of your own goals*It may involve a few catastrophic failuresGuy on right has man beardAgreed - beard>no beardAlso, for someone who can't grow a beard.....^this makes me sad *and if you don't believe any of that, you should just stick around for the entertainment value Level 6 Wizard of Beer Warrior STR 21.25 | DEX 5.75 | STA 7.75 | CON 3.50 | WIS 9.50 | CHA 3.25 Twitter | Epic Trip | Current Challenge Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 *the warrior formerly known as icedtrip and former dothraki god of thunder furyan* Link to comment

Wicked Pixie Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Fantastic!I'm not an alcoholic either....But 30 days with NO drinking is gonna suck balls! You're probably going to find that eliminating the grain is going to make you feel soo much better- I have so much less belly bloat and ummmm uncomfortable tummy issues now! I still crave grain/carb things, but damn they make me feel gross! Link to comment
