Machete Posted January 5, 2017 Report Share Posted January 5, 2017 Placeholder, because I have a marathon [I did not train enough for] in three days. Goal is to finish my GymnasticBodies Foundation One course (because I've been slacking on my Hollows) while working on those elusive Handstands and some Tumbling (both modules I also purchased). My gym membership just ended and I'm going full-Assassin this challenge. BUILDING THE ASSASSIN BODY Log GB exercises (foundation core and upper body, handstand, and movement) once a week, kettlebells once a week. SKILLS BJJ twice a week, 21-day Dry Fire Practice modules. CHARM I joined the 30-day Art Of Charm challenge, and I have 10 modules to complete in it. LIFESTYLE Slowly working on becoming antifragile, and I'm starting with getting rid of trash around the apartment. 3 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment

Machete Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Hit Simple & Sinister practice with a 20kg yesterday, which felt pretty good and rejuvenating. Handstands and Movement today. Easy stuff.

Machete Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Completed AOC first module (intro), and Day 1 of 21-day Dry Fire (Trigger Control & Followthrough). Foot's hurting and HRV is still red, so I'm mostly taking the day off to prep food.

Machete Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Did some Dry Fire practice (Trigger Prep). Went to BJJ, but wasn't feeling it; nothing seemed to be clicking.

(I'm sure there's a way to make that into a clickbait joke, but I'll leave that to the professionals. ) Looks like you're pretty solidly hitting your goals so far, though.

Pretty much what is going on. Haha. My average HRV actually went down by like 5 points. It appears that running a marathon made me less fit. 1 Quote Valar Morghulis Halfling Monk, Chaotic Neutral Machete's Blog: Inside A Mad Mind Third World Warrior: The Eight-Year Training Log Link to comment

Manarelle Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nothing wrong with rescaling objectives to be more realistic. That's still an impressive list of actions for a week.

TheAccountant Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Dry fire. I keep an air soft and holster in bathroom so I can hit some dry fire drills during nightly rituals.
