4/7/2021 Workout 15 to 3 Ladder, descending by 3 24" Box Jumps Knee-Ups (scaled Toes-to-Bar) 3 minute rest, then go back up the ladder. Thoughts: I love box jumps. I love it especially when I'm not jumping on plates. I hate jumping on plates. I'm always concerned about the top plate moving, so I end up going slower. But, give me a proper box? Heck yes! I can bang out reps fairly quickly. The knee-ups was the more difficult thing because grip strength. My hands started to hurt when I got to the 6-rep... so holding on long enough to finish sets was difficult. I enjoyed this workout and yesterday's. Classic HIIT. Rest days are tomorrow and Friday. Maybe I'll post about my walks/hikes with Carl. We'll see.

4/6/2021 Workout 4 Rounds: 250m row 25 kettlebell swings (35lbs) 12 Burpees Thoughts: I went into this thinking, "I just have to push through. I have to get better at cardio." Because I like traditional HIIT workouts. What I was not expecting was for me to be by myself for this. So, this ended up as a personal training session with the dreaded "no rep". I was not expecting the row portion to be my breather. But, it was. Averaged 4 minutes a round. Coach had the impulse to tell me that I should be glad he didn't give me the 44lb kettlebell because "This is more cardio, I want you at a lighter weight." Mmkay. Could have given me a 25lb kettlebell and it would have gone faster lol. It's fine. The no-reps made it worse.. My upper back is a bit sore from the swings because it is weaker than my legs. I ended up leaving my water bottle at the gym after the workout.. which meant that I had to go back this morning and do a workout to claim my water bottle. That will be in the next post.

The gaming industry has been barren compared to what I grew up with, but there are a few things I'm interested in: April Nier Replicant ver. 1.22474487139 (I'll finish my last 3 playthroughs of Nier Automata for all the endings before I start this) May Mass Effect Legendary Edition (this is a cash grab... I don't care. I wasn't in the group that played the trilogy when it first came out, so I experienced it after the fixes... Garrus/Shepard will forever break my heart in the way that FFVI did) June Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade (I mean.. Yuffie... duh) Legend of Mana (I missed this the first time... my Switch gives me a reason to pick it up now) August Humankind - FFS... this was pushed out to August? But, I can't wait to sink hours and weeks into this. I'm still looking for the actual release date on Horizon Forbidden West. Because that's what I really want... along with Humankind.

@Ajay is in.

Ooohhh.. let's see...

You know what I want to try VR for? No Man's Sky... and Horizon Zero Dawn. Talk about beautiful games I could spend days being lost in and wandering around.

Why are these so generally ugly? Why? At least the Monster ones look... decent? The Dino armor is giving me some serious Chrono Trigger vibes for some reason lol.

Oh, forgot to mention: @TurboR56Mini asked if I was smart enough to resist "poking" at the Fuling Bersekers. Hahaha. No. I mean.. I have a shiny new bow. Why wouldn't I use it to snipe at giant, angry monsters? Took me about 7 direct shots to kill one... but, not bad! 2 - 3 direct shots for the regular ones if I'm not doing it from far distance. (Distance shots = 1 shot kills) Also, I think there are about 100 less wolves in the Conorheim village. @crispymorgan took some on an expedition, but they promptly abandoned him once they saw... basically anything. Also, the wild Lox killed a bunch of them. Then @GazzaGarratt took a whole bunch somewhere too lol. We now have a bunch of wolf pelts. @Tar-Eruntalion , @TurboR56Mini , and myself also left a handful of them at the top of the mountain where we were mining silver. The spreading of wolves reminds me of Tribbles from Star Trek.. how do you make them stop.... besides starving them? However, there are still a bunch of tame wolves outside the village... leaving a glittering treasure trail of their destruction.

Good times today in Valheim! Got some silver. Made a new bow that glows (and makes all arrows have poison effect, I think). I can take a Fuling down in 2 - 3 shots. Mine a bunch of silver. Made myself a silver shield. Got some chains while getting my guck. Made my chest piece. (I like the lox on our server.. so I'll just continue using my local save file to get my lox stuff. Lox cape soon!) Also.. found Stonehenge? It has a bunch of Fuling Berserkers in it. (This was all after everyone logged off... because I passed out earlier from allergy hangover and probably lack of food.) I like my glowy bow.

Aw. That was fun. Missed the chaos lol.

I'm around at 10AM ET/3PM GMT... not going to the gym due to terrible allergy attack last night.. so my brain is all sorts of sluggish... but good enough to press some buttons!
-
Not rowing today. Had a wicked allergy attack in the middle of the night. So I'm around... Until whenever lol.

Because @TurboR56Mini would forget to post... Also... because this looks really interesting. Icarus - No Rescue Documentary Trailer - IGN WWW.IGN.COM Check out this 8-minute trailer to learn about the world of Icarus in this upcoming session-based Player vs Environment survival game from DayZ creator Dean Hall's studio RocketWerkz. The documentary-style...

SPOILERS - Discussion - Falcon & Winter Soldier
RenFengge replied to RenFengge's topic in Movies, TV & Music
I thought the details of the episode were interesting. Like.. throwing in Madripoor? This isn't a universe where we have even realy talked about mutants or the X-Men, and we're getting Madripoor? The episode may have felt odd or slow (it wasn't to me), but I think a lot of it was a stepping stone into what characters we will see in the rest of this Phase for MCU. I'm curious about Sharon Carter's role. I think there's more to it than her just making a living as an art thief. I think she's undercover... or she's just flipped sides and will be a nemesis... -
What are you listening to right now?

New song to be stuck in my head! -
We need a 6th.... and I'm not really sure if that will be me, but I can be it if necessary. I need to sign off by 9AM ET to get ready for my rowing session at 10AM ET. We should be fine at 2 hours.. I think lol. So, you have a 6th if needed. 😄

4/3/2021 Workout Mixed Martial Arts - Intro Session Thoughts: So, I don't think the FMA teacher is going to be for me. There's not enough structure in it for me to learn anything worthwhile. As for this MMA place I checked out today... I have been somewhat curious about this place and its instructor for probably a year. I just would always think, "Ugh. I'm not going to Norwalk." It's about 15 - 20 minutes from me, and the times never seemed to work for me. However, we're still remote, and I just wrapped up my boxing package for now. Onto the next thing. Jonesly (my instructor for this place) is intense. And, after today's session, probably the only one who will be able to fix some of my footwork. I will, unfortunately, have to fight with gloves. But, I'm wondering if I can at least go down to MMA gloves. I guess we will see. Jonesly will be teaching me more close quarters combat, which I have always actively avoided. While it's where almost all real fights end up in, my training and how I like to fight is to end it in 3 moves or run away. There will be no getting me on the ground. But, that's not realistic, is it? So, okay. BJJ, MMA, Muay Thai it is. This is all new to me. Haven't been this nervous about a physical activity in a while. Should be good.

Lolz. @TurboR56Mini - are you aware that this is 7AM for us... and you tend to not wake up before 8AM?
-
Awesome! You should ping her to see if she can join if Davey can't. I leave it to you.

This is basically what I'm experiencing today as I try to get me and @TurboR56Mini a vaccine appointment since our state opened it up to basically everyone today. Securing the vaccine shouldn’t be harder than buying a PS5 WWW.POLYGON.COM Getting vaccine appointments is a nightmare
-
@GazzaGarratt - want in?
-
This was a very confusing notification to hit my phone when I first woke up this morning...

You guys can do my chores while you wait for me lol. Feed the wolves, the pigs, pick the vegetables, plant new vegetables, fill the torches... By the time you're done with that, I should be home hahaha.
-
FYI that I totally forgot that I signed up for a gym class for 10AM... so I probably won't be joining until 11:30AM ET. But, I might swap the class out... not sure yet. Depends on how my Saturday goes.

For those of you who loved Syphon Filter from back in the day, I suggest picking up Days Gone. You know what, just pick up Days Gone in general if you like RPGs/single player games. It was oddly very satisfying for me. One of the few games that actually made me feel vulnerable in the terribleness of that world. Story is... eh... But I really really enjoyed it. Especially taking out Hordes.
