SingingSoldier Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hey there, I'm SingingSoldier,a human pseudo-scout hoping to transition to a mix of warrior,ranger, and monk. I am a college student that will be joining the NROTC program next semester after the semester is over. I tried Air Force, and I knew I wanted to be in a different branch after the first semester, then took a semester off to deal with the death of my grandfather. I am moving on and honoring him by joining the same branch as he did. My goals are to become the best warrior,ranger,monk hybrid I can be, and also to continue in my singing and hopefully become a great musician/producer after serving. My journey started in high school when I joined track and cross-country, and never stopped running since. I have started the monk portion by joining the judo team on campus, which I really like and can't wait to do more with. I have also started to do some weightlifting, but I am having trouble figuring out what kind of program i should do. I like aspects of the Daniel Craig and Gerrard Butler blogs on the main nerdfitness site. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion!! I think the type of program will depend upon your goals. Pop down to the programming thread and ask there: http://rebellion.nerdfitness.com/index.php?/forum/204-programming/ Quote Level 63 Human ...

Kvothe Gainskiller Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I would start by building a foundation of strength. This will benefit you across all three classes. Also, because of your desire to be a monk, I would put the emphasis on explosive lifts and movements, such as box jumps, oly lifts, and upper-body plyometrics. The other thing you will want to consider is specializing. It's fine to be a hybrid, but very few people can perform equally in all classes. You may need to decide which classes are more important. Only then will you be able to build a program that fits your goals. Quote I translate things into Latin.

SingingSoldier Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I definitely want to focus on becoming proficient for judo, mainly because I want to go to judo nationals with the team next year. While I like lifting, I am definitely leaning towards the idea of the unarmed ranger. So less heavy lifting, more plyos and judo practice is what I am thinking. Edit: I may also start Tae Kwon Do again in the fall. I practiced through out elementary and middle school and to this day I still regret not sticking with it and getting my black belt. I was red, testing for brown when I stopped. Quote Link to comment
Why not? Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Welcome to the Rebellion! My condolences on your grandfather. By the way, am I correct in assuming that NROTC is Naval ROTC?

SingingSoldier Posted May 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You are correct that it is Navy Reserve Officer Training Corp (NROTC). Quote Link to comment
Why not? Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 You are correct that it is Navy Reserve Officer Training Corp (NROTC).Indeed, my grandfather was also in the Navy, but I went with the Army myself. Shouldn't you be called SingingSeaman?
