littlewings Posted July 24, 2013 Report Share Posted July 24, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwITzNACKIQAll lessons learned from last challenge, I believe it is time for some more epic things to happen. My summer course is almost done and I'm basically taking a "month off" from everything until school starts up back again in September. That being said, courage wolf is back!The Quest: Be Like a Beast. Main quest is to lower my body fat percentage, 2-3%. (I'll use progress pics, won't necessarily post them.) I've decided I'd be happier cutting fat before going for muscle gains first - although who's to say that won't happen along the way, but this is my focus this challenge - and so diet will be strict. I just need to keep my routine... that means getting back into Muay Thai and being careful so I don't have to stop again. Be Hungry like the WolfEat PrimalIncrease vegetable intake, less dairy (for everytime I eat dairy, must also consume 2 servings of veggies.)Stop skipping meals (I've been getting distracted from eating way too often), eat moar! Be Fierce like the WolfAttend Muay Thai 3-4x a weekSide-quest: Learn and memorize how to properly wrap hands (I'm awful at this, at the moment)Do body weight circuits in between, 1-2x a week Be Supple like the WolfWobble board exercises and calf raises every day for 10-20 minutesSide-quest: Be able to perform one-legged squat on the wobble board by the end of 6 weeksIf in pain... stretch, ice, compress and rest instead Rise like the WolfWake up earlier more often (No more sleeping in til noon... Aim to get up at 10AM at the latest)Get ready for the day before anything elseIncludes showering, eating, making bed, etc. Why?To become strongerRaise self-confidence a little moreTo not disappoint those who support meTo see the looks on the faces of those who don't Link to post

OptimusPrimarch Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Looking good as always LLW, not enough people focus on flexibility and stability and they get injured or they plateau without ever really working on their flexibility. Seems like most of our monks have stretching/flexibility goals. I like the wobbleboard part and calf lifts, I need to do more of those too... good ideas to steal! lvl 4 Astartes Monk STR 8.5 | STA 9.5 | CON 6.5 | DEX 7.75 | WIS 10 | CHA 7.25"Burn the Calorie, Kill the Workout, Purge the Apathy"Push Up Challenge: Yellow Belt (36) Link to post

Okay, I admit, my dislike is based entirely on the self-assumption of looking like a fool. I wobble well enough on my own! ahahaActually, it sounds like something I could use. I really want good balance. Maybe next challenge I will be ready for the fine tuning of balance. 22nd level Wanderer better is right here, right now The Way Here's to all the 1% increases in life!
