Son of Rylos Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 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? Hoping to "flash" on a great idea 1 Quote Link to comment
Ryuu1011 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 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 1 Quote Half-Elf: Ranger/Assassin Challenges: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6a] [6b] [7] [8] [8.5] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [ --> Battle Log] Old Battle Logs [2017] New Battle Log 2018: Reforged DragonForging My Life: Epic Quests [Google D] Epic Quests [NF] Lifter Profile [Symmetric Strength] Racer Profile [Athlinks] Body Comp [G-Sheet] Running Stats [G-Sheet] Link to comment

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 1 Quote Current Challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/63003-aella-travels-to-bree/ Level 3 | STR 8 | STA 1 | DEX 7 | CON 5 | Link to comment

Elennare Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 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. 1 Quote Wood Elf Waywatcher Mandalorian (Assassin/Ranger hybrid) Link to comment
Aella Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 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! 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. 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 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 eatI have to try hard to eat well today when we go out At least this is good warm up practice for the challenge on MondayWe're getting a dog tomorrowWe're crazy 3 Quote Current Challenge: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/topic/63003-aella-travels-to-bree/ Level 3 | STR 8 | STA 1 | DEX 7 | CON 5 | Link to comment

OU101 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 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. #1Where 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. #2Any tips about how to train, where to train, when to train, etc.? #3Is 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!

I've worked that prep into my challenge goals, so I'm hoping to get everything done.

Granny Nogg Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 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.

SunlitSapling Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 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! I hope everyone has a great challenge!

Manarelle Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 This... this is my new goal.... 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. 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?
