Whoo... it's been a long time since I've posted in this dusty thread.
Well anyways, alot has changed since Dec 2007.
Lately I've been eating less and less fatty foods (yay!)
I joined the track team a couple of weeks ago to build up running endurance and today was my first track meet.
Had 3:31 (Not really sure about this time. I couldnt hear what the guy said) as my 800m time.
At least I went 12 secs faster than when I first started.

Socialize / Re: A zombie attack and the effectiveness of parkour
« on: February 23, 2008, 07:53:44 PM »
I just had a dream about zombies. It was so cool!
In the dream, zombies suddenly started popping up around my school and I had to hide in small crevices.
When they found me, I ran outside and konged/gate vaulted the fences after crushing their heads with my foot to effectively rekill them.
I woke up after I reached the woods
.
This was an exciting first PK related dream. (*yay*)

Parkour / Re: How..........
« on: February 19, 2008, 06:17:59 PM »A gate vault is rather flashy and not very efficient or useful, except for showing off, and an underbar on a waist high rail is not something you need to do.
Why is the gate vault inefficient? I can get over a tall fence I usually can't go over and gain momentum from going over the fence itself. I'm not necessarily disageeing or agreeing, I just want to know why.

Movement / Gate Vault angle
« on: February 18, 2008, 12:43:56 PM »
Is there an ideal angle to flip over when you are doing the gate vault?
Most of the tutorials I've seen advise a 45 degree angle, but I usually just go straight over, perpendicular to the fence.
Just wondering

You know what...you've just given me an idea. Let's put spiderman suits on us when we train. (lol) 
Seriously though, wouldn't they have to fuse your DNA when you're still a single cell? If they mess up, they will REALLY have a huge problem. (I don't even want to think of a giant spider-human hybrid)

Diet / Green tea?
« on: January 22, 2008, 08:15:52 PM »
Would it be good for me to start drinking green tea again?
I have a ton of teabags left and can tolerate pure, unsweetened tea.
Would the negative effects of caffeine be bad for me, or are there more benefits than consequences?
Note: I want to drink pure green tea. Not the HFCS filled lipton bottles.

Exercise: (All worked on serratus anteriors, which I think are the shoulders)
15 lbs 20 times x 3
25 lbs 15 times x 2
35 lbs 10 times x 1
20 lbs 20 times x 1
10 lbs 20 times x 1
I don't know how to add up the pounds for bowflex, but the numbers I listed for pounds are the sum of the numbers of the bows on one side.

I am starting this log so that I can keep track of everything I'm doing because lately I've gotten lazy. I haven't done much since I started in June '07 so now it's time to kick it into gear.
Splittin' this up into 3 sections:
Diet
Exercise
Goals
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Saturday, December 29, 2007
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Diet:
2:00 PM Woke up and ate a baked potato with bacon bits, sour cream, and butter (I really need to eat healthier
)
3:00 PM Drank the equivalent of a cup of apple juice straight from the bottle (It was almost empty anyways)
5:00 PM Ate Cookies and Cream ice cream and a caramel flan (I'm surprised I'm not fat after eating like this for so long)
Exercise:
Not much so far except for an hour of Wii tennis, but the day is still early! Hopefully I can get on the bowflex for a while.
(At my sister's house)
Goals by the end of the 8th grade:
1. At least 5 pull ups, both inverted and normal (Can do two right now)
2. 50 pushups without rest
3. Grasp the basic techniques and gain creativity
4. Run a mile at least once this year
5. Eat/drink less sugar and get more nutrients
6. Get a handstand for at least 30 secs
Wish me luck!
