skinNbones Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Thanks to a phrase coined by D_R, I'm copying Tanktimus on this challenge. More of the same, just keep plugging away at what works. I've struggled a bit with consistency the last couple of challenges, but I have established that I am able to fit in a 30 minute workout a couple of times a week and have seen modest results this way. So :10 strength workouts over the 4 weeks : I'm abandoning the random aspect of deck of pain, but will keep the continuous circuit to get through the workouts in the 30 minutes allotted.4 Juarez Valley workouts : These 200 Burpee workouts really killed me but were a great way to improve my conditioning.Basketball will of course continue, but I don't need to award myself for that - it's fun on it's own.Weight Gain : I have lost over a kilo just in the fortnight of not counting my numbers over the festive period. So will go back to counting. I may flesh this out a bit more, but maybe not ... 4 Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to comment
skinNbones Posted January 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Reserved for scoring. +3 STR for 10 workouts, minus 1 each less than that. +4 STA for Juarez Valley (1 point each) + 2 DEX for Basketball (half each) + 2 DEX for doing some stretching + 1 CON For each gained kilo (basically for tracking successfully) I make that 12 so maybe I'll give bonus points in whichever category I feel happiest about, maybe some CHA if I actually keep my thread updated all 4 weeks. Tracking : 6 BW 2 jv 3 bb Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to comment

skinNbones Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I (sort of) did Juarez Valley today. Was meant to be yesterday, but I was feeling lazy.My conditioning has really dropped over the festive period. I really struggled with this today, about half of them probably didn't really count as burpees."I knew he was bluffing" 1 Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to comment
skinNbones Posted January 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Basketball today, good fun but it was hard work. The coach has been told he can't play for 3 months so I think he was taking it out on us.

skinNbones Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Oh it gets better, I then stayed up all night working. We did a release and the deployment program didn't work and then part of the system hadn't been tested so we did a partial rollback and now today I'm going to have to write a script to clean up the mess :s"I knew he was bluffing" Quote SkinNbones : Recruit, Rangers, Jumps, Breaks, ,Tanks, Prepares, Adjusts, Goes Mad, Of The Dead 1, 2, 3 , Level 7 Ranger Link to comment
