Fuck Yeeaaahhh!!!
I can now no longer laugh without my abs hurting.
Oh and carrying my grocery basket was a chore
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels>; oh god, what am i doing
3.5 miles in 30 minutes (.5 more than Friday!) with a 5 minute walking warmup/cooldown for a total of 4 miles. Fuck yeaaaaaaa. I think I might be at my current max speed though. I'm still getting myself dialed in though so I'll push for even faster tomorrow and see how that goes.
The fun part to all this is that to get around the ship when we're underway I've got to take stairs eeeeverywhere. Needless to say, showing up for watch in the morning has been a giant case of "it hurts so gooooood."

You spelled 'The Hounds' wrong.

The Hounds is way too swag to be good running music. It's more like "walk down the street feeling like a baller" music.

Ow ow ow.
!Ravenclaw Deatheaters, represent!
Hard to run in a zoot suit while swinging a pocketwatch, I agree.
Congratulations! How'd you do for time?

So, Primers (I don't really know what to call us), what's the song that gets you through your workouts? We all have our pre-workout pump up songs (Sail by AWOLNation personally) but there is that one song that just gives you a second wind. So, what's yours?
HEEEEEEEEEERE WE ARE
BOOOORN TO BE KIIIIIIIIIIIINGS
WE'RE THE PRINCES OF THE UUUUNIIIVEEEEEEEERSE
*ahem*
A Night of Queen is so, so good.

Another favorite is Whisipers (I hear you)

Ran a mile in 10 minutes and squatted 360 pounds! .....and then tracking was down for maintenance. I hope I remember when I get home.
Holy crap, that's awesome.
Daaaang. 360 Lb squat? I am just getting started on squats (doing Stronglifts) and... yeah, you're beating me by over 300 lbs. Hope to close that gap pretty quick here.
Posted this on the Fitocracy group as well, but anyone else care to join the Squirrel Challenge (assuming you haven't already completed it like Payne)? Squirrel Challenge: Be able to squat your own weight at least 5 reps by the start of PAX. Prize... Beer? A button? TOG claims to have mad photoshop skills, maybe we can get him to whip up a muscled squirrel image for a button or something.
Anyone want to join the challenge?
I gained a pound
Challenge accepted! I'll give it a try when I go to the gym next time.
That is a GREAT challenge!
That being said, I believe myself and GoneCross have already completed it. But still, that's a much better idea than 'get some points', Squirrel!
Personal challenges for PAX Prime for me are to Squat 2x my bodyweight 20x and to be able to barbell bench my weight once.
TOG will recommend all of the Protomen.
I totally did the same thing when I was weight lifting! The other song that I lifted to (and is almost as cliche) was Lose Yourself by Eminem.

I'm down - I just got to the point where I'm doing my weight once, maybe twice, but the numbers keep increasing each week, so by PAX I'll definitely be there!
Current goal:
Spin x2 a week
Warrior Workout 3x a week.
Swim 3x a week.
The outfit I intend to wear is skin tight and bares the abs so... yeah, need to stick with this.

You sir, are an absolute animal!
I think I speak for all the guys at PAX when I say, I would much rather have the sexy gamer chick in rocking outfit with a super awesome workout plan, over some shitty booth chick. Way to go, keep it up.
I just always hate to see those girls that missed the memo that lack of costume is not a costume and I certainly don't want to be associated with them.

If you don't care about negative side effects, no-xplode is decent, as well as jack3d. Both have HUGE amounts of caffeine though. Which is also partially why they work. Cheapest on amazon. I don't use pre workouts myself
<+Ravenger> you are talking to me
<@heels>; oh god, what am i doing
Thanks for the advice.
That being said it was 80 bucks on Canadian Amazon. Fuck amazon.ca.
EDIT: Just realized I haven't said this in a while, thanks to everyone for all the encouragement!
Just tried this morning after my workout and I don't mean to brag, but daaaaaang, that was easy! My trainer was even there to make sure I was doing it properly and everything. He told me a good goal is 1.5x my body weight. Heck, I can probably shoot for double my weight by PAX!
@BombClancy
I'm also planning on baring abs for PAX, which is a great motivation for working out! Hope to see you there!
Go for double! Go for widowmakers!
