AshPS Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 I am recomping, but that was set aside last challenge while I recovered from a severe hernia surgery. Then during the last two weeks of the last challenge I and my family all became really sick with a virus that sapped my energy and left me dragging. So, I am using this mini challenge to get my batteries charged, my macros on course, and my workouts going full force! When the next challenge starts I will be ready to recomp again! I want to thank my buddy Vilkacis for being here with me through the last 3 challenges and I am so excited that he is joining me in not only this mini challenge but the upcoming one as well. Couldn't have a better buddy! Best wishes through the holidays everyone! Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

AshPS Posted December 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 Crazy busy day! But, then that makes sense considering. (nodding) Workout #1 for the mini challenge: Chest & Arms (Working Sets Only)Flat DB Press: 4 sets of 6 (35 lbs total), 2 sets of 16 (25 lbs total)Incline DB Press: 3 sets of 8 (35 lbs total), 2 sets of 20 (25 lbs total)DB Curls: 3 sets of 6 (12.5 lbs each arm), 2 sets of 16 (10 lbs each arm)Lying Tricep Extensions: 4 sets of 6 (20 lbs total), 1 set of 15 (15 lbs total) This is a 2 1/2 to 5 lb raise on everything. Not huge but a start to pushing things back up. Still shaking a small amount of congestion and cough and still feel pretty fatigued, but MILES better than before. So YAY!!!!!! :triumphant: :triumphant: Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

Swampling Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 Good morning, Ash! It's Christmas Eve, I got to sleep in (yay!), so there's a chance you actually might read the good morning at the appropriate time of your day, instead of the middle of the night as usual... Congrats on increasing the weights! And I'm glad that you're finally feeling better, I hope the rest of the clan follows suit soon (if they haven't already)! Here's to finishing this year strong!

AshPS Posted December 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I'm thinking of moving to the Adventurers guild next challenge. I will always be into strength training first and foremost, but I find I need to add some other things (like the biking) which is helping the healing from the hernia surgery. And, I feel like I am not certain I totally fit in the warriors guild currently. Plus, as my sig. says I have a heart for the assassins, but I don't feel I have the training for that guild yet. Debating......... Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??
