Dreamweaver Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hello World; I'm a 25 year old programmer/writer/IT technician/bookworm/gamer from California that's finally decided to get my fitness under control (again). I used to be a crosscountry runner back nearly a decade ago, but my wealth of sedentary pursuits and extraordinarily poor diet eventually caught up with me. I'm 5'10" and 220 now, with most of that being fat, and as someone who spent most of my life identifying as skinny, that's not really ok with me. While I have accepted that I'm unlikely to ever be classically "skinny" again, as I finally grew into my father's broad shoulders, I do still want ot be as fit and agile as I used to be. As such I plan to put a big focus on bodyweight workouts, mostly to allow me to pursue Yoga, Gymnastics, and hopefully ever Parkour in the future. Obviously these interests have lead me towards the Assassin guild (though I admit Monk was tempting) and I've recently started my first challenge with them, which I would love help in keeping accountable for in the thread here. Hopefully if nothing else my passion for narrative can lend some smiles to a few people while I work on being able to do a freaking pull-up again 2 Quote Aasimir Assassin "If you ever stop fighting for what you believe in, can you ever be said to have believed in it in the first place?" - Albireo Link to comment
Amusedperson Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I wish you the best of luck on your pull up. I have ever been in shape and and have never been able to do one myself. The assassin's guild interests me as well, mainly because I spend most of my free time climbing around Rome (yes, even all these years later). Quote Link to comment
