ShadowFire Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 This Euro Mutt loves being on ships, does that count enough, I could hang comfortably from the sails and keep a look out. I mean someone has to climb ALL THE THINGS! and besides, even vikings had people killed on occasion.

Twibbly Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 So does this...we generally kayak UNDER that bridge unless the water is too low and we have to carry them up and around. Much shorter distance to portage now. (North Llano River at Flatrock in Junction on Sunday)Bah. Attaching picture from computer.

I prefer traditional swords and axes, but if I found a chainsword or chainaxe I would definitely make use of them. 4 Quote Level 1 Nord Epic Quest STR 3 | DEX 3 | STA 2 | CON 3 | WIS 3.5 | CHA 4 Original Challenge | 1ST | 2nd | joining the bebop | Return to the rangers | Spoiler "Crom, I have never prayed to you before.

jcsimmons Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think I have found my gym so now I just need to find a workout program (the gym also has a small cross training section that includes a daily WOD which I might use and just scale to what I can do! since I havent done strength training in quite some time i will have to take it easy at first to get back into the swing of things!

Einar Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Just keep in mind that your mind will remember what you used to do and want to to that again, while your body might not see it that way. Even if you're not a beginner in strength training mentally one of the beginner programs like strong lifts or starting strength are a great way to easy your body back into it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote A true warrior does not train tirelessly to fight, or to kill.

jcsimmons Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 This is true. this challenge my main focus is just getting back into doing activity on a regular basis. In the spirit of vikings i was reminded of a workout I've seen some do while in the MC called the viking. time limit 90 minutes if you go over you will be penalized with burpees afterwards (i forgot what the number was because i never saw anyone fail) 3000m rowgrab a 16lbs sledge hammer and run 1 mileuse hammer to hit a tire 200 timeskeep the hammer and run 1 mile3000m row everyone I've seen do this looked half dead when they finished it... I may look to try this eventually when I get back into shape for an ultimate hazing session.

jcsimmons Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I would likely die if i did that now.... however there is a certain relief/joy that occurs following such a hazing session that you can't replicate.
