Buff Brogan Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 "Here is where the souls of the wicked are tortured in the pits of Tartarus, the wailing and agony of the damned, resonated deep throughout the bowels of the Underworld" - Gaia as many of you know i've had a rough go as of late, but that is no excuse. if you want to kill a god, you have to train like one. and i'm not talking about sayians... sorry gokuno, you have to start as a Spartan and be fearless. go at life and battle with reckless abandon. that journey begins.....now. i'm setting 3 goals this challenge. each week will be pass/fail. no points, no bullshit, no excuses. either i succeed or i don't.4 weeks is one month, and i'm already a day late. so there can be no more delay. FOOD: whenever i'm down or struggling with life my diet does as well. that stops now. i'm giving myself 2 options. either i stick to keto hardcore 5 days a week.. OR... i stick to a truly wholesome diet 6 days a week. by wholesome i basically mean paleo lite. i'll allow things like oatmeal yogurt and whey.....i'm thinking keto, but thinking about giving paleo a real run, so i'm debating a semi test run here. ok, keto TRAINING: I've been slacking, excuses be damned, for far too long. so starting today, i must do a minimum of 2 workouts per week. i don't care if they're in a gym, park, or house. but i must do something twice a week. even if it's just a full blown cardio day. i don't think this is too much to ask for. NF: this isn't workout related, but i feel it necessary. you guys have been a great help and support to me during both my highs and lows. including my lowest point where i was mid competition with Dark_Raider in a PvP and fell off the grid. this wasn't fair to him, you guys that were following along, or myself. as much as i wanted to win, i'm pretty certain he was gonna walk away with the W. what sucks the most is now we'll never know what would've happened. i do know that that challenge pushed me pretty damn hard against myself. i said all that to say this: i have to check in on here at least 3 times a week. doesn't matter if it's on my thread or someone else's or both(preferably both). when i'm active here it motivates me more. it also makes me want to motivate others. this community is infectious. so let's get ready to storm Olympus....

Buff Brogan Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Day 1: striking class. i cant remember everything but here's a basic run down. 50 jumping jacks, squat thrusts, jack knives6 mins of partner (locking legs) sit ups - 2 sets of 3 mins oh my god i don't even know how many kicks to air and bags alike. body conditioning trading leg kicks, push kicks, then body shots with partner. 3 rounds of 3 mins of med-light sparring. i'm sure there was more, but i truthfully cannot remember. 2 Quote LEVEL: 7 Furyan Ranger - Battle Log - in lieu of this challenge don't look back, we aren't going that way: Rebirth - Wrestlemania Dark Raider vs KZacher From Tartarus with Love - Wrath of the Furyan - it's a secret! - FIGHT! - You can go your own way - The Rational Gaze - Rise from Death to Knife this Beast(part 3-the agony) - Demonized(part 2) - By Demons Be Driven(part 1) - Link to comment
