Now it's time to get in shape like a hulkine. As I wrote here it as a bit of an up and down. So, I think about signing up for the rising heroes. But I am not sure yet. So I first will think about my goals. Tomorrow.

Arkania Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Motto: Switching between "Harder, better, faster, stronger" and "Relax, take it easy!" Placeholder Epic Goals Body journey/Milestones: (NSFW) Spoiler more Fotos on my Instagram arkania_x Height: 1,72m (5'6") Age: 30 05/2013 -> Highest weight ever -> 79kg (174lbs) 10/2016 -> 71kg (157lbs) 12/2016 -> body fat 19% (65kg/143lbs) 01/2017 -> lowest weight since the age of 18 -> 62,8kg (138lbs) 01/2018 -> 71kg (157lbs) 08/2018 -> 69kg (152lbs) Weight/body goals: 60-65kg/132-143lbs with <20% body fat and a SMM >35% (at least) I am not quit sure about the goal weight. I don't care if it's 60 or 65, if it looks good for me. But I know, my "bananas" (the butt below the butt ) will be gone at around 64kg (when I add some booty workout), I don't want my strength to decrease (is that something I can say? Sorry for my bad english!), so a recomposition model is the right for me, I think. Also I don't have stress with timelines. Loosing 5-10kg until the end of 2018 is easy. It will be a protein based diet (1,5-2g/kg body weight) with a medium calorie deficit (500-1000kcal, depends on my total consumption per day) I use https://tdeecalculator.net/ to calculate my macros. With 3-5 times sport/week (2-3 bouldering, 1-3 times body weight or other sports) I am on a moderate level and can eat about 1800kcal a day. Moderate Carb Maintenance (30/35/35) should do the trick 137g protein, 71g fats, 160g carbs Not 100% like that every day, but I aim for a 70% accuracy per week (5 out of 7 days "clean" and near these macros) Sports goal: I am not sure about that yet. I want to get better at bouldering. Want to do some cool things (handstand etc). Have to specify this asap. Challenges I thought about doing a yearly challenge cycle. Means: Next challenge (1,5 weeks) -> Lvl 1 Challenge After that every new challenge in another guild so that I have a lot of variety in my goals and get some specialities out of every "specialization". And maybe get some new impulses for the future.

Arkania Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I am not sure, if I understand the difference between the RH and the Academy. I like the idea of RH that I have some pressure doing this but I am not sure, if the given quests are maybe to easy. Or to "out of my focus". I will think about that this week. Until then I will do all free quests in my account that I already can do and think about my goals. (I am a very! rashly sometimes and want to have everything instantly (and then not using it....) and now trying to think first, then buy something But I think, I will test RH for one month and then maybe switch to the Academy. Maybe I find some review and insights about the academy.

Arkania Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Ok, thanks. If I read that right, RH is about doing monthly themed given quests in a specific time and sometimes a team. How about the Academy? Do you create your own quests? Is there any pressure other then your own?

Tobbe Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 In the Academy you get weekly emails with 4 - 6 quests to complete during the week. You get these emails for 12 weeks. And I have a hard time keeping up with all the quests. Some of those quests are about writing your own quests on your "Epic Quests" page. You have access to that page on the free account as well, but here you get more specific help and guidelines on how to think when writing those quests. But generally you will not create your own quests. There are a 176 quests that are only available if you're in the Academy. They are divided in three categories, Mindset, Nutrition and Fitness. I also got access to 200 Yoga quests when I joined. When joining you also get access to the NF Facebook group. In the marketing for the Academy they say that these forums, and the FB group, is supposed to keep you accountable for doing the quests (or put pressure on you, as you say). But to be honest, I haven't felt like they do that at all. For me personally they don't seem to work like that. But I think it depends on who you "connect" with. If you find a friend on FB or on these forums I think that friend could give you the pressure you need.

Mad Hatter Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yeeeah another boulderer! That makes me very happy. I don't know anything about either Rising Heroes or the Academy, so I can't really advise if it's right for you or not. But ask yourself whether the program fits your goals? Does it fit your schedule? Is it tailored to your level of ability? Will you be able to recover? For example I climb 3-4x/week and for me it's very hard to add in extra strength and especially pull workouts on top of climbing. (Though I keep trying. And failing ) Are there better and/or free resources to achieve the same goals? Do you want quests or progressions? (Again I've no idea how these are structured so this might be a completely irrelevant question) Another option is to wait with buying a program and join the 4-week challenges! *cough* assassin *cough* I actually think that's what most people here do. The challenges are super fun and you pick your own goals. There's a huge wealth of collective knowledge and I'm sure we'll be able to point you to helpful resources. You should definitely join in whether you get a program or not! 1 Quote Link to comment

But a lot of people seem to enjoy them, so they must be good if you "get" them Honestly they're very freeform, especially for the people that have been around for a while. But basically you pick a guild. The guild is not set in stone and you can swap each challenge if you want to. There's a guild for first time challengers or you can go straight to the guild that calls to you. Create a thread with your goals, usually 3-4 goals is a good number. The goals can be related to anything, fitness, diet, hobbies, life, productivity, really anything that you want to improve. Poke around the different guilds for examples. They can be themed if you want to. Gifs are not necessary but we love them. Say hi to other challengers! This is the most important and fun bit. Nerds here are awesome for providing support and advice and accountability plus a whole bunch of random chit chat. Keep track of your goals in your challenge thread At the end of each week and at the end of the challenge reflect on your goals, what went well, what can be improved etc. Sometimes there are guild specific mini quests but those are completely optional. But yeah that's basically it. You kind of just make it your own. I highly recommend joining though as most of the forum activity revolves around challenges! Battle logs are great too, but typically they don't get the same traffic and the community here is key. Quote Link to comment
Tobbe Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 44 minutes ago, Mad Hatter said: Do you want quests or progressions? The NF Academy gives you a bit of both. For several of the quests there are QuestFoo #1, QuestFoo #2, QuestFoo #3 etc where each # gets more and more difficult. For the nutritional part of the Academy I feel the full list of quests builds a nice progression, where the first quests are really easy (at least for me) but then requires more and more dedication. One of the first quests I completed was for example this one "eat a non-typical breakfast food (example: leftover chicken and asparagus) for breakfast.", whereas something like this would be very difficult for me "At this point, the only sugars you should be consuming are from low sugar fruits and vegetables." as I love having a piece of cake whenever it's someone's birthday party. The fitness/workout part of the Academy is even more about progressions. First and foremost there are different levels you go through. And between each level there is a "boss battle". When you've defeated the boss you're ready to progress to the next level. But even for each of the exercises within a level there are instructional videos on how to make that exercise more (or less) difficult. Or guidelines on how to switch out one exercise for another if/when you need something more challenging. I just did my first scheduled workout yesterday and can't wait to fight in my first boss battle Quote Challenge 21 - Tobbe Goes Running in the Dark | Challenge 20 - Tobbe Gets Ready for CNF | Challenge 19 - Tobbe has Nutrition and Fitness Goals | Challenge 18 - Tobbe is like Jace | Challenge 17 - Tobbe Keeps a Journal | Challenge 16 - Tobbe Builds an E-commerce Site | Challenge 15 - Tobbe and the Journey | Challenge 14 - Tobbe Goes to Sleep | Challenge 13 - Tobbe Kills Zombies | PvP - DailyDare NerdFitness Edition | Challenge 12 - Tobbe tries not to do all the things | Challenge 11 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi in South East Asia | Challenge 10 - Tobbe Becomes a Yogi | Challenge 9 - Tobbe Gets Productive | PVP - The Last Darebender | Challenge 8 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 2) | Challenge 7 - Tobbe's 100 days of food freedom (part 1) | Challenge 6 - Tobbe becomes a Recovery Warrior | Challenge 5 - Tobbe fights the dinosaur | Challenge 4 - Tobbe catches up and pleases his wife | PVP - Rise above the pull-up bar | Challenge 3 - Tobbe eats like a ... | Mini challenge - Students gonna ranger | Challenge 2 - The Necessities | Challenge 1 - Let's get this challenge thing going | The Intuitive Eating Support Group | TODO 2019 PvP | Battle Log (>>) Link to comment
Arkania Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thank you both for these information. I like the playful idea of these quests (and that I don't have to create my own!) but I am not sure, if they fit my goals. I am not new to sports and nutrition (as you can see in the place holder now) and may find some quests (too) easy (-> for the price of the Academy). Or not neccessary for my journey. So, I think I will have my little Thread here with all my (epic) goals and will participate in the challenges and take the free quests. Maybe some day I will buy one month of RH or the Academy just for fun. Oh @Mad Hatter I already chose the assassins https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/307639 Thank you both for helping me with my decision!

Tobbe Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 If you don't want to change anything about how you eat and/or train I would not buy any of the programs. But if you're open to changing (or adding to) your fitness/workout routines I think it's worth it I have a pretty good understanding of nutrition as well. But I still make bad food choices too often, and eat too much too often. But that's more of a mindset problem than a knowledge problem. And I also did keep active (walking, running, weight lifting) before joining. So I mostly joined for the mindset quests, but also for a new take on strength training. And I have had a lot of fun with the nutrition quests too, even if they haven't really tough me anything new yet.

This is probably just a sign that I don't fit in here, but I don't know a whole lot about comics, super heroes or anything like that.

But if for example your eating is fine then why pick diet goals? Or if you really want to focus on making small changes maybe one goal is perfect! It's really up to you. 3-4 goals just happens to be a good number, any more is difficult to keep track of and hard to form habits out of, 1-2 might be too few in case you "fail" at them and get discouraged. 17 minutes ago, Tobbe said: This is probably just a sign that I don't fit in here, but I don't know a whole lot about comics, super heroes or anything like that. And I'm not creative enough to create my own fantasy character with a back-story to create a good themed challenge. And I don't have a collection of funny gifs to use. That's perfectly fine too! Everyone can be a nerd in their own way. 18 minutes ago, Tobbe said: For all of the above reasons I've been really hesitant to create my own challenge thread. But @Mad Hatter you make it sound way more relaxed, and way more fun, than what I have been believing! If it's more like you're describing it I might have to give it a go soon I absolutely think you should give it a try! It's good fun, and if you want to follow the quests you can simply make that part of your goals. Everyone follows their own programming, sometimes it's NF related sometimes not. 17 minutes ago, Arkania said: unfortunately I have reached the maximum number of posts I can make per day.

Mad Hatter Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Oh I missed the ranking question - I’ve no idea about post limits but I’d think it should go away pretty soon, like a few days maybe, a week? Epic goals are awesome! But you can still always break them down into smaller goals. They don’t have to be outcome based, like say climb 3 grades higher, they can also be things like climb 3x/week or practice *insert least favourite climbing movement* for 15 min every session. Let me know if you need help brainstorming 1 Quote Link to comment
