Icarus’ Inspiration

Hi! My name is Icarus and I am a member of the Crow Collective. We’re an OSDD system.

I’m a 34 yo guy in headspace, but the body is afab and 22.

I plan to post (or reblog from others) our workouts, and updated about that. There will be other things but nothing is currently planned.

If you’re curious about us, or my headmates’ blogs, this is our mainpage where you can find all the links:

Not me… just my faceclaim. If you know his name let me know!

Here are important tags and whatnot:

#workout-plan - what I aim to do

#workout-actual - screenshots of my app showing what I did. Judge me if it does match the plan. 💀

#asks - need I say more

#workout-ideas - things I find and possibly want to try, or tips and tricks I like and want to share

#lift-goals - me working towards goals on specific lifts/movements

#seemsfakebutwellsee - things I am or hope to try to test results. Usually fads, or systems that don’t seem like they’ll work. #fitnessreasearch - Topics I have researched and posted summaries about. These are usually answers to questions I have been asked, and have sources listed. Feel free to ask for a topic! #the conqueror virtual challenge - updates about the challenges and what challenge we are currently participating in!

So when I originally added the challenge for the Liore Valley medal (250 miles) I set it to eight weeks just to see how quickly I could actually get it done. I knew I would have to change it later.

I have changed it to three months now, and it looks like I will be able to complete it in this time, but of course I will try to get it done as quickly as possible.

Here is my current progress:

Also, we ended up getting our gym membership again, because one of our headmates that never used to front is fronting more. He likes to workout and whatnot, so he asked that we get it again.

March 12: 5,328

March 13: 3,200

March 14: 1,143

March 15: 5,421

March 16: 2,533

March 17: 3,193

March 18: 6,654

March 19: 12,170

March 20: 11,822

March 21: 8,072

These are the numbers recorded by my phone bc I haven't been wearing my fitbit :/ There are probably more steps that didn't get recorded. Yes, we did lay in bed all day Sunday and Tuesday. Judge me 🤷‍♂️

March 8: ~700

March 9: ~4,000

March 10: ~1,200

We did not complete the planned workout. 😅

However I did a couple of sets of different things throughout the day, so it is not a complete loss. And I will do todays workout this afternoon. 🤷‍♂️

As a way to encourage myself to finish off the last of the challenge I am currently working on, I am putting a poll for what I should do next. These are the four challenges I currently have purchased. Let me know which one you think I should do next.

Ok so there has been questions about how I am counting my steps, since I briefly mentioned it in my latest update on our excursive plan.

So... I am trying a new thing where we will use a ranked system instead of a set goal every single day. Goals like that just don't work for us because of really bad "all or nothing" thinking and just how often we switch. Step will still be counted as normal (due to our fitbit) and I will post the approximate on how many steps we did each day. However, no day will be "better" than another, so we will not be wording is based on a yes/no off if we hit our goal, but simply what category our step total fell in. Everything, including our health, mental health, energy, how well we're sleeping, the weather, our workload, chores that need done, and so on will impact what category we shoot for every day. I will do my best to provide that context when I post. Here are our categories: 18,000+ 15,000+ 12,000+ 9,000+ 7,000+ 4,000+ 0+

Rest day. We however did reach our steps goal for the day with ~7,600 steps!

As I reminder, these workouts are not necessarily to gain a lot of strength, but to keep us in the rythm of working out.

My brother (Severin) did the workout. It was a circuit based on the plan I made. With a 10 lb dumbbell, because that what we have: Goblet Squats RDL Glute bridges Reverse Lunges Wall Sits (30 secs)

I might end up adding a week, which I wouldn't be too upset about because I was a little ambitious when I made it.
