So I've been reading a lot of Chaos and Pain; which I highly recommend to anyone as it is sure way to stave off the disease of mediocrity that humanity has become rampantly afflcited with, but I digress. My readings on this blog, as well as my worthless contributions to this deployment and general hatred for most of humanity that I have gained over my exsistence have forced me to come to one conclusion but before going to that declaration let me go a little nerd on you.
My favorite characters of all time are Batman(DC Comics) and Vegeta(DragonballZ) both of whom are angry assholes set on bending their will and are dwarfed in power by a deuchy boy scout, Superman and Goku respectively. I don't like those two characters because they were born great, Superman gets power from a yellow sun and the writer of DBZ has a hard on for stupid characters who are just naturally stronger than everyone else despite not working nearly as hard, which is bullshit.
So with that in mind, we have Batman who is the peak of human physical fitness and is an olympic level athlete in all facets. Depending on what you read he trained from the death of his parents at age eight until he was in his mid 20's or for seven years at the age of 18. So for at least seven years Batman devoted himself to surpassing not only the average human but the strongest/fastest and most athletic humans on the planet... so he could go around at night breaking criminals limbs and causing aliens that can move planets to be afraid of him.
Vegeta is the prince of a bunch of aliens that were mercenaries and generally went around destroying entire planets. Not a bad gig until, not unlike Batman, some dick wipes out his Dad... and the majority of his race. Vegeta gets pissed and trains at 500 times earth gravity in the hope of reaching the mythical level of Super Saiyan. Once reaching that level he realizes that he can still become more powerful and to do that he must ascend.
Ascend:
1. to move, climb, or go upward; mount; rise: The airplane ascended into the clouds.
2. to slant upward.
3. to rise to a higher point, rank, or degree; proceed from an inferior to a superior degree or level:
4. to go toward the source or beginning; go back in time.
That's where I'm at now. I want to Ascend, I don't want to just be better than the next guy, I want to be able destroy everyone. There's no point in being average, there are literally billions of people who are average and when they die no one remembers their names... that just doesn't work for me.
It's not just strength however, being strong is all well and good and make no mistake I definitely need to be strong as shit, I need to become more intelligent and more informed. Again, I'm more intelligent than the average person but that's not enough anymore. If I want to ascend I'm going to have set goals for the expansion of my mind as well as my body and after reaching those goals, I'll need to push myself further to ascend even further, to the next level.
To Ascend to the next level:
Physical:
Bodyweight of 170lbs.
Strength
Press: 225 lbs.
Clean: 275 lbs.
Bench: 340 lbs.
Squat: 425 lbs.
Deadlift: 510 lbs.
Speed
1/4 Mile Sprint: 1 minute
1/2 Mile Sprint: 2:10 minutes
1 Mile: 5:40 Minutes
Body Control
Front Lever: 60 Seconds
Planche: 1 Push Up
Mental:
1 Language, Conversational
40 Books in a Year
Relearn College Algebra and Biology
I believe this is definitely attainable by this time next year (30MAR2013) and if it doesn't happen then I'm pretty sure I haven't committed enough of myself to the progression. There is no excuse for weakness except death.
