CombatBoot Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hello everyone So… I'm CombatBoot, and I live in Europe. Right now I'm in a pretty good shape, being 6'2" at 156 pounds and ± 9-12% body fat.My journey into getting stronger and healthier started about 1 year ago, when I made some half-assed, unguided and uneducatedattempts at working out (lots of push ups and some dabbling with dumbbells). While that wasn't very effective, I got somewhat stronger, as there isn't much needed to improve on nothing…6 months ago however, I started doing Krav Maga thanks to a friend of mine, and I have gotten a LOT "harder, better, faster, stronger" thanks to that. 3 months ago I started really working out - bodyweight only, I don't like working out in gyms, and I just prefer using my own weight, as that's what I'm using in Krav Maga - and I've gotten quite some gains thanks to that. Couple all of this with the fact that the last few years I've cycled from 150 to 200 kilometers a week and I have gotten a solid fitness base from all of this.Of course, there still are a lot of dragons to slay: I'm about as flexible as a brick, and while my strength has improved, it's still not all that impressive. Furthermore, I've been willing to get into parkour, and that has been… challenging as well, to say the least. Right now I'm working towards one-handed push ups, perfecting my parkour roll and performing a handstand, as I just can't keep my balance… Well, that pretty much it… I'm glad to finally be a part of the rebellion! And I still don't know wether to be a Ranger or an Assassin...

Laureleye Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Wow! Why don't you look around the Ranger's and Assassin's challenge threads and see which one feels more like home? Good luck on your goals. The hardest part of the workout is lacing up your shoes'"10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | Current Challenge |INTJ | MFP | FitBit Link to comment
