The Assassins' Den (chat)


Hazard

Recommended Posts

What's actually been on my mind the last few days (with the break and all) is what else I want to work on as an Assassin. I've already considered wall climbing, though finding a wall seems to be more difficult that I thought. Trying to figure out something else to be working on for a skill. Any suggestions?

Some very Assassin-y suggestions: Acrobatics like kart wheels, flips, and other tumbling skills. Body weight tricks like Planches, Dragon Flags, Front/ Back Leavers, L-Sits. Hand Balancing such as Crow Stands, Hand Stands, or Frog Stands. Flexibility such as back bends, splits, or firefly pose. Hope those help :)

Hoping to "flash" on a great idea

 

*cough* Silks! *cough*

 

I am a bit biased

 

But probably just about anything that is body weight fitness focused would be assassin-y too? And doesnt need lots of gear or special locations since you are just training with your own body weight

Since random thoughts/whatever is on our minds was asked for...

 

I hope I didn't hurt my leg too bad at dance class last night.  It feels much better this morning, but is still a bit sore.  I can't believe I managed to tweak a muscle like that, because it was a beginner class!  I can't be hurt now, the new challenge starts on Monday, and I have gardening to do tomorrow!

 

Speaking of challenges, I really need to work hard at losing fat this challenge, because I'm (probably? still working on figuring that out for sure) going to my cousin's wedding in about a month, and I want to look good for it.  Yes, I know that's really vain and silly, but it's the truth.

 

And I haven't made as much progress on cleaning the house as I wanted to by now.  I guess maybe I can work on that this weekend instead of gardening if it's nasty weather out like they're saying it's going to be?

 

Do sweet potatoes get messed up if you plant them in a pot first, and then move them to the garden?  I should look that up, because I really need to get the plants in some dirt before they take over the kitchen, but it's still too cold outside to put them out there.

 

There ya go.  All the stuff currently on my mind. :)

What's on my mind?  I'm actually a little nervous about trying my hand at 6 weeks of intense calisthenics/body weight training.

 

Nervousness isnt always a bad thing though right? One day at a time, you'll get there!

You and me both >.< I dont know the background to the wedding, but I hope that if you want to get there that you do. You looking and being awesome is a given! Weirdly I had a dream last night that I hurt my leg :o So dont do what I did in the dream- take the moonboot off, lose it, spend 3 hours in A & E getting a new one (such exciting dreams I have).

 

My random thoughts for this morning? 

Why did I stay up so late watching Black Sails?

Why did I get up so early?

It's hard to eat right when you go out to eat

I have to try hard to eat well today when we go out :(

At least this is good warm up practice for the challenge on Monday

We're getting a dog tomorrow

We're crazy

My random thought of the day: I think I want to learn the Thriller dance for the Assassins Guild video we talked about last challenge. My 6 week project goal!! I'm about 90% serious here.

What is on my mind?  Parkour!  I really, really, REALLY want to do it!  On top of just looking cool, I think it looks like great exercise.  I have a few questions about it for all you practitioners out there.

 

#1

Where should I start?  I have no background with gymnastics or anything, but I have done martial arts so I do not know if that makes a difference.

 

#2

Any tips about how to train, where to train, when to train, etc.?

 

#3

Is there anyone here who knows of parkour groups in Orlando, Florida?  I have done google searches and the like, but have not really found a group.

 

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

What's on my mind is there's only 3 weeks left until my husband's parents and siblings arrive for a week's visit, and there is alot left to do in my yard and house before they come. I've worked that prep into my challenge goals, so I'm hoping to get everything done.

I have a question: so lately I've been having trouble with being out of breath and my heart pounding when I work out. The last month it's been, do an exercise, rest half a minute, do another, rest again, etc.

Before, i could do a whole set and then rest a minute.

I haven't been doing any cardio, just the bbww.

Any thoughts are welcome.

I've had this happen when the room was too stuffy.  Maybe it's getting warmer with spring arriving?

 

This has also happened to me when I've had a cold..................

I feel totally unprepared for tomorrow.  No pics, no measurements, no problem????  Behind on everyone's threads ahahahaha travel the weekend before a challenge followed by house hunting adventures will do that to you.  Wow, my mind is all over the place today.

 

What else is on my mind?  Oh yeah!  Thanks to Hazard's assistance..........

 

The Assassin Video Compilation Project Is Happening!

 

So basically, click the link and post your submissions there!  I know there were a few submissions already on the old Den thread (lucky, I think maybe someone else as well????) but could you post them to the central thread for ease?  Even with the crazy that is currently my life, I am soooooooooooo excited about this project!  Ahhhhh!!!!!!

Let me just sneak in here for a second, assassins...

 

After my last challenge, I bought myself a little Toon Link amiibo as my reward for doing pretty okay and in honor of our "best dressed" questionnaire last challenge. This challenge, I'm using him as my inspiration and my whole challenge is Wind Waker themed!

Hmmm, that's a good point about stuffy! I had to run a box fan last fall when I worked out because I'd get so overheated. Maybe time to pull that out of storage. Thanks for the suggestion.

This... this is my new goal....

 

make-construction-workers-whistle-at-you

 

I used to drive a tow truck and felt badass, being able to push a Ford Explorer out of a back parking lot. Now, I get out of breath on a 45-second plank. So this is my unofficial life goal now!

 

Other things on my mind? Gardening, yay! Homework, not so yay! Work-work, meh! And the return of nice weather, which netter me a sunburn on the first day of short sleeves. 

 

IMG_4845.jpg

 

That's me, although I got the scots side of things, not the irish. Stupid sun. I love it so much and it hates my flesh. Hat, sunglasses, and sunblock time. Whee!

 

(Would a scots assassin even work, or would our pastiness give us away when trying to sneak? Woah, existential issues!)

((I'm going to bed now, sorry for the silliness.))
