AshPS Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Any thoughts on why you are shifting to Adventurers? Just curious. I have always been geared to the Assassins deep down, but because I love lifting and had no training in endurance exercises I decided to go with the Warriors. (Why my sig. says Assassin at heart, training with the Warriors ). My hernia surgery caused me to consider that I needed to add more than lifting to my overall training (ex. recumbent biking). So, I decided that I wanted to venture into learning some endurance training and eventually move to the Assassins. But, not sure what things I want to learn or when I will make the move to the Assassins. It was either move to the Rangers or the Adventurers. I thought that since I am still deciding my path that the Adventurers seemed a good choice for now. I think the Warriors guild is more suited to those who want to focus solely on lifting and I want to branch out a bit. My recomp is still my ultimate goal and lifting will always be my first love, but I also like the idea of learning new things. I know Donar was opposed to cardio of any kind and that makes sense for him as he wants to reach a contest level of bodybuilding. But, I think a bit of cardio/ endurance is not only useful to me for the continued strengthening and mobility of my hip flexor, but in general period since my goals are different. I think I am ultimately equal parts warrior and assassin! lol And my friends are from all the guilds so no limitations there!

Thought I wasn't going to get to tell you that tonight. I have not been able to get into NF for at least an hour or more. Page just kept spinning but not loading. Wasn't my computer or browser I don't think because it was only NF that was doing it,. Also means it will be tomorrow (maybe) before I get my thread up. Trying to think what a great BS day would be, lol! But, thank you! Though right now the shoulders quake in fear! They are still sore from Monday and Wednesday!

No matter which page I wanted to load, it just kept spinning, but didn't do anything else. I guess your shoulders know what's in store for them, so they have a very good reason to tremble with fear! Muahahahaha! (<= that's supposed to be a villainous laugh, in case it's not recognizable as such) The Redhead says hi! 1 Quote Hobbit Challenges: 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1My shiny new "battle" log - probably more of a plodding-along log, but hey, it's mine!

AshPS Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Back & Shoulders(working sets)Bent over DB Rows: 4 sets 12 (22.5 lbs each arm) (2.5 lb raise) ; 1 set 15 lbs) (12.5 lb) (2.5 lb raise)Assisted Pull ups: 3 sets 8 Seated DB Press: 4 sets 6 (**40 lbs total) (5 lb raise); 1 set 16 (14) (30 lbs total) (5 lb raise)DB Rear Lateral Raise: 3 sets 15 (10 lbs each arm) (2.5 lb raise each arm)Knee Raises: 25 (raised by 5) Seriously, my shoulders hate me right now, lol. They were already sore enough. Today was simply unbelievable. Workout was delayed big time. The reason was because a neighbor's house (2 down from ours) BLEW UP. No, I am not kidding or being dramatic. The entire house blew up, there is nothing left but foundation. I had started my workout this morning when I heard a loud boom. We live near a major highway and I assumed it was just a tire blow out. Then I saw an EMT truck speed past the house followed by police. I stepped out to see if a neighbor had been hurt and that's when I saw the black smoke and flames billowing to the sky. It took less than an hour for the house to burn to the ground. All of us (neighbors) ran out to (1) find out if the family was there (husband, wife and 3 boys) and (2) because this is a densely wooded area and houses are close together. Fire spreads VERY fast. By all that is merciful the family had just left to visit another family member and were not home. And the small fire dept. managed to get the fire contained so little surrounding area was damaged. I finally got back and got my workout in and then headed back down to find out what we could donate to the family as they lost everything. Very sad. But, they are all alive and that is something to be very thankful for. So, I need to start collecting thing I can put together for them. Hopefully later I will get my thread up in the forum and the Brigade moved over. Hope everyone has a wonderful Friday and let us all remember to be grateful for what we have. I was reminded today how quickly it can be lost. EDIT: the (**) on the 40 lbs is pre-surgery weight!! Next increase will be a PR, YAY!! :triumphant: Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??

AshPS Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 Wow, that is kind of an amazing story! Gas explosion or something? Glad they are safe. So sad to lose your home and all your possessions though. It appears that their dryer caught fire and there was some kind of welding tank next to the dryer that caused the actual explosion. Gas had actually been the first concern. The fire department managed to get the fire contained before it reached the large propane tank at the back of their house. I agree, but it has been awesome to see all the support that has stepped in to help them out. Quote Level 6 Pixie Assassin Rangerish Adventurer Current Challenge: Guess What??
