Bambamty: Six weeks to prepare for the fight of his life.

[bambamty]

It was a cold morning on the 24th of February when it came, his first Assassin assignment came. He woke up in his apartment bedroom, which was a part of a large training academy he shared with the rest of the assassin tribe, typically 3-4 assassins per house. He woke, stretched his arms then noticed it: a neat envelope which was half way through his letter box, which simply bore his name in gold writing: Bambamty. Upon opening he knew what it meant, this was his first Assassin task, everything up until now had been training, practice. But this time was different, if he messed this one up he died, game over. The letter said:

 

Dear Bambamty,

 

We write this letter to you was we believe you are the write candidate for the task at hand. In 6 weeks time, the ogre's plan are gathering, and will likely march to war, you must stop it. Kill the leader Yuzgrut, and bring his head back to camp. Only then will you be a fully fledged member in the noble rank of the assassins.

 

The elders.

 

Breathing heavily he read over it twice, this was going to be the hardest task of his life. He knows he can't kill an ogre through strength, so he draws up a plan to hone his agility, his balance, and his skill, then immediately sets to work.

 

Translation.

 

For this challenge it wont be about weight loss for once, as im approximately the weight id like to be! However, the thing I'm lacking at the moment is some serious agility, balance and co-ordination, so ill need to work on those i think, whilst trying to lose fat (and remain at the same mass)

 

Main quest.

 

For my main quest, id simply like to be in the best shape ive ever been, a little vague i know. But theres no one huge goal i want to be working to, so ill break it up into sub goals!

 

GOAL 1: To get close enough to kill an ogre with my bare hands ill need to have exceptional balance, and to train this i intend to be able to do a free standing handstand by the end of the challenge, so ill be doing the 28 day handstand challenge AGAIN, as im very close to doing this. (+2 DEX, +1 STR)

 

GOAL 2:  Another aspect of my life i need to level up in order to complete my task is my agility and co ordination. For this one it'll be a fun one ive been doing since September, but not nearly enough! I aim to do minimum 3 hours a week juggling practice, including the 2 hours on a Thursday with the club, if i can successfully do a 2 diabolo sprinkler by the end, challenge succesful.

(+2 DEX, +1 CHA (for the social side))

 

Goal 3: 20 pullups! Im about 4 weeks into my 20 pull up challenge, so intend to keep going, will need to commit at least 3 times a week to this! (+2 STR)

 

SIDE QUESTS.

 

My first side quest is to commit to a calisthenics routine, not sure how im going to split it up, but itll probably be something like
 

Monday: Chest, triceps, core
Tuesday: Back, biceps
Wednesday: Big bike ride on wednesdays so no chance of any real calisthenics, might do pullups on weds too
Thursday: Chest, triceps, core,
Friday: Back, biceps
Saturday: Legs,

Sunday: Rest.

 

+1 STR, +2 Con (fitness = staying alive),+1 STA

 

Side quest two is to again eat as clean as possible, no strict grading to this one, just grading each week and see how it goes.

 

+1 CON

 

My final side quest is to complete 5 weeks of swimming lessons (embarrassing i know, but i cant swim!) This could be vital, as who knows what terrain is waiting for me on my way to kill the ogre leader.

 

+1 STA

 

 

Thanks for reading guys, as always ill try and update often. With a weekly round up each Sunday evening! Hope you liked the narrative, its nothing amazing as i suck at writing stories, but it sounded cooler in my head! :L

 

Good luck to all my fellow rebels!

So it starts NOW! After having my blood test on Friday Ive been eating cleaner but not back to what i was, that changes today! Felt amazing on paleo, need to get back to that state!

[Norgaard]

Good work! im going to follow you on your handbalancing journal!

[vengefulpear]

Yay! You're back! 

 

I'm glad you can finally get back to eating clean after your blood test! And it's also awesome you're about where you want to be weight wise! Congrats!  

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do! 

[Lilith]

Oooh handstands, juggling, pullups and working your ass off! Sounds like my kind of challenge! Hope you defeat the ogre!

[bambamty]

Thanks for the encouragement guys, i went to the gym today for the first time in ever! Whilst im happy that im losing fat, i feel like ive gotten a bit weaker in some aspects, so i'm going to go to the gym a few times a week to keep my strength up ready for when i get back into climbing! Also, ill check out your threads later, been crazy busy!

[Harika]

What is your current pull-up ability?

[vengefulpear]

And how did your first week go

[Nuala]

When do you intend to go back climbing?

[bambamty]

Hey guys, sorry about not posting much! Ive been feeling really crappy recently, and not been in the mood to commit much to a "challenge" per se, which sucks! Ive been keeping fit however, and still doing chin ups and hand stands! And Nuala, hoping to get into climbing as soon as my financial situation is a little better! It will probably be in the summer or september though :/

 

Good luck to all my fellow rebels!
