Echo 1.3 3/7/22 Workout

 Greetings and Salutations, 

How hail the. Today was a ball buster of a workout day. Started with getting on the treadmill, then I did what I call a Blitz. As there is no real name for it. In a way it is sorta a Full Pyramid but different.

I start with a weight say 75 lb. 10 reps, drop the weight to 65. 10 reps. Drop 55, 45, 35, 25, 20. Little to no rest between each set. Just enough to change weights. Short rest. Then reverse 20, 25, ect back up to 75 or as high as I can go. Then moderate rest, like walk a minute go grab drink you know. Then comes the part that hurts. 85 lb up to 10 reps. 95 lb up to 10 reps and I keep going until I can't get above 5 reps. 

So for context Today I did what I call close grip lat pulls. 85 lb. 10 reps, 95 lb. 7 reps, 105 lb. 3 reps. Done. Long Break 3 or 4 minutes probs more. Move to the next thing. I learned part of this from a boxer who was at a gym for a short time. His name was Josh. He took the time to come over and be like yo you working out wrong come with me fat one. Paraphrased of course. I still work out wrong, but I know a bit more about targeting muscles and I try to keep it pretty good. Wish we had more time to work out together. He wanted me on the treadmill more but I walk a lot now so I think it is okay. I got a lot of fat on my arm, but I can see and feel muscle. I don't want to get bulky. I just that is not me. I am only really getting into this because I would like to add a bit of bulk.

 So if you look at Will's Workout Tracker You can see my numbers. Added the treadmill since I am off today I won't be work walking, but who knows. Might be Wal-Mart walking lol. So Also things might seem strange if you look at that. so 75 - 20 is the start here end here weights. Sets are how many times it takes to get from those points. For example because once you hit 25 and are going down is a 5 lb. decrease; where as 25+ is a 10lb increase. The only machine I know this is different on is the Pec Fly. I don't know if it changes at some point, but it is always a 5lb change through 45. So 45,40,35,30,25,20 ect. Also Shoulder stopped me on the Pec Fly from going back up to 45 and doing more. I don't want to chance it. Questions. Know the real names of things I am doing? Drop a line. <3 Have a great day.

Life Today

I know I am going to hear the normal, you are doing great, you got this and all that and yes I want to hear it and it helps a lot, but the past week has been hell. We lost two people at work. One quit one was fired over BS. I don't see the other night crew guy lasting much longer after all this. As for me, I started up doing this side business because I wanted to dig a way out of this job and I wanted to give people better food options.

Back on the topic at work, there is a girl I really like, but she not interested in dating right now possibly ever who knows. I know this so I just told her how I felt in a text and was like I just need to get it off my chest. I try to be as good of a friend as I can. Yesterday one of the guys from up front came back and he tends to talk about a lot of random stuff and I tend to tune him out. This was one of the times I shouldn't have, cause he was saying one of the cashiers wanted 4 boudan balls. Well she yelled at me, I retaliated by doing the classic cat hissing fit instead of going off about her yelling at me. I was in the wrong on both accounts, but I hear enough yelling as is in my daily life and I just snapped. Than spent a good 3 minutes in the cooler tearing up. We didn't talk the rest of the day and generally when she leaves she says goodbye to everyone well except me this time. So, yeah that ruined and crushed my day. Than we have the salsa problem and that has really crushed today and this whole week is just me wanting to crawl into a hole. I just emptied my fridge of pretty much everything I have in there and trying to find some silver lining and if I should even keep this business going. A popular thing in YouTube is 99 comments can be super positive and uplifting, but you will always remember the 100th comment that was negative. It is stupid, irrational, but damn does it just burn you to your soul and I am a ginger I don't have one. 

Theorycrafted: Spellslingers / Spellbreakers

    In a time long long ago, or if you are playing Classic World of Warcraft not so long ago... in fact right now. Mages and Priest both shared a talent called Wand Specialization. Now in retail, wands are gone as far as I know. The Spellslinger is a spec design for the Mage based on wand based builds from other games such as Path of Exile and Dungeon and Dragons. The idea turns the mage into a Magical auto attack class. Now this said it could work with Crossbows and maybe bows if wands are not wanted to be added back to the game. This would give them another purpose instead of just being like all loot which is hunter loot.

    The idea of the class for me falls into having a magical based hunter really. Embedding your shots with elemental or arcane magic, using blink to reposition quickly. This said it could very well be a proper Hunter Spec as well. 

    In that case I bring in the idea of the Spellbreaker as being another option for Mages. A tanking spec for mages. We already have lore about them in the game and while they do not have a ton of abilities from warcraft 3 it is easy to look at other units inside of World of Warcraft for inspiration. Looking at the Silvermoon Spellbreaker from Isle of Thunder shows them wearing what appears to be cloth armor and wielding a shield. Using a sword, but could also wield a glaive similar to Demon Hunters. 

    We also have some ideas from the World of Warcraft RPG which is non-canon, but still leads to some ideas of the spec. So many interesting ideas could come from this.

    Thank you for reading, tomorrow lets jump into bed with another spec idea that would love to beat people up with a shield. Until than, stay classy while letting me know what you think of my madness.

Theorycrafted: WoW: Necromancers

       So in yesterdays post, I talked about my thoughts on turning Unholy Death Knights into a necromancer like spec. Focusing on spellcasting, but than using big damaging melee moves. 
    Today we talk about another idea that could bring Necromancers into World of Warcraft. This is a bigger idea I have for what I would do for a World of Warcraft expansion. Instead of adding new classes add new specs to existing classes. With the talent trees being as bland as they are it would be an easy enough option. So lets talk about how I would design a new Priest spec Necromancy. Priest, would be the perfect place to stick Necromancers. Now you might wonder why I say Priest would be, but started with the DK yesterday? Thematically DK already has the kit for it. Priest on the other hand is already a cloth based caster. 

    The biggest question for me is How would this work. Well this would work wonders coming out of Shadowlands thematically speaking. As far as the design, I would take a similar route as the design I talked about yesterday with the Death Knight. You have your damaging spells Shadow Word: Pain ect ect. But you gain access to new spells that interact with your undead minions that you summon. This is not your you have a pet design. All of your minions are limited in time. Perhaps there is a limit to how many of a type of minion you can raise. If there is a corpse nearby your cooldown for your raise skeleton ability resets instantly. Giving you the ability to bring more minions in quicker. My thoughts are better mechanics of the Nightborn withered w/e they were called. A single skeleton isn't going to do a ton of damage, but a horde of them. Well, I think you get the idea. You would have abilities that interact with them. Combine 5 skeletons to form a skeleton beserker. Sacrifice a skeleton to gain a bone shield to an ally or yourself. You could even go as far as becoming a Lich like character. There are tons of possibilities. Tomorrow lets keep going with the idea of additional specs for classes by talking about a long dead talent point that both priests and another class use to share. Let me know your thoughts and as always, stay classy.
