Nerds, help me out.

Fellow nerds, I beseech thee.

The Bioware company is having an auction contest where we can bid with virtual tokens for some really great prizes.
And the more clicks I get on this link, the more tokens I can pick up.
The link just takes you to the BioWare site.
So, what do you say? Help a fellow nerd out?

Readying for Ragnarok

Did a single deck of cards today with a slight twist.

The push-ups were done on a medicine ball. I also held onto the ball when doing squats, but the 8lbs was pretty negligible.

The first type of push-ups featured in the video are what I did.

Red = push-ups
Black = Bodyweight squats

Readying for Ragnarok

Started the workout today with five minutes of jump rope.

Then I went with 5 one minute intervals of dumb-bell swings, with one minute rest in between. The dumbell was 35 lbs.
Here's what they look like, though I hold the dumb-bell differently.

I followed that with 5 one minute intervals of sledgehammer work on a few tires in the garage.
Here's what that sort of looks like, though I'm by no means as badass as the man in the video.

Finished it up with 3 sets of 3 towel pullups.

About an hour later, went for a woods run. 3.2 miles.

Good times.

Readying for Ragnarok

Early today, hit the weights, good times.

5 minutes of jump rope to warm up.

5 x 5 deadlifts 185 lbs, which is all the weight I have. I know, its paltry. But hey, its my bodyweight, so I'm moderately ok with it.

Followed with one arm rows.
5 x 60 lbs
5 x 70 lbs
5 x 80 lbs
5 x 80 lbs
5 x 80 lbs

Ended with towel pullups, which seemed to suck.
set 1: 4
set 2: 2
set 3: 3
set 4: 3
set 5: 3

An hour or so later, hit the trails outside of town in Deerfield Park. 3.2 miles. Not too bad today.

Fauna

The snakes of the planet Psyche, like all other creatures there are possessed of psychic abilities. In lieu of a venomous bite, using the power of their minds, they inflict a crushing despair upon their prey, paralyzing them with depression...

Gaming stuff!

Finished a first draft of a random character relationship generator for new pcs to create connections between one another. It's a random d20, but I'd like to expand it to d100 as soon as I can.

Also finished up a first draft of Titan mutation tables for the sci-fi game space opera game I'm working on.

Woohoo!

Readying for Ragnarok

4.73 miles today. Not too bad. Need more mileage though!
