Garden Bootcamp

Roi manifested a bamboo and two 100 pound oak sapling's. He managed to attatche the oak to either side of the 5 foot bamboo and then began to do squat's with the makeshift barbell on his shoulder's. He counted them off slowly and carefully until he reached 50. After that he rested a minute and drunk some water. Then he picked up the makeshift barbell again and repeated the dame action. He did this over and over again until he was satisfied with this activity, then he laid on the ground and began lifting the makeshift weight/barbell up and down that way.

Up, Down, Up, Down. Roi lifted and lifted until his muscles began to strain, Then he stopped, drank some water, and stood up. He bent sown to pick up the bar and put it on his shoulder again. Then he started running. He ran laps around the danger room carrying his burden and pushing his speed. Roi could feel the weight seem more and more heavy as he continued to bear it but he just kept running trying not to pant so much as he ran with the weight. Ngh.Hah.Hu. As the panting started to get too much he finallt stopped and drank the rest of his water before going to refill the bottle.

After refilling the bottle t=he swallowed some more before moving on. Going to the makeshift barbell he increased the size and weight of the saplings to 60 as well as the strength and thickness of the m=bamboo. After reinforcing and increasing the weight of the makeshift barbell, Roi started doing sit ups with the bar again. He started in on the same routine he had just finished doing but with the heavier weight. It took him a little longer to get to the run this time since he had increased the weight so much. Once he did the amount of time he ran ended two minutes earlier then before.....

Roi hydrated more before running through the exercises again without raising the weight this time. He continuously ran through the same exercises again and again with the same weight until he was able to get results twice as good as hes best results from when the weight was lower. By the time he finished training at that weight half the day had passed. He stopped to go and get some food to eat to recharge and build up his energy. After doing so he returned to the danger room to meditate and allow his body to digest the food and create the energy he would need to continue training.

Rightfully although Roi normally didn't need to eat, he was suppressing his reiatsu during this training so that he could train his muscles purely. So he took energy from food instead. After finishing digesting the food and meditating he went back yo his makeshift weight set. Roi continued running the same drills almost tirelessly and he would constantly increase the weight in between breaks, food runs, and meditation. He drunk plenty of water to keep hydrated. After certain weight's were reached he had to add the number of bamboo holding up the saplings till there were four bamboo rods working together to carry up to 400 lbs including the weight from the rods.....

This was his upper limit he had decided. After dragging himself through the last bit of grueling training at 400 pounds Roi wearily made a bed of moss and drifted off to sleep in the danger room. When he woke up he made multiple sets of barbells out of wood and began doing various lifting exercises, arm strength exercises, and yoga stretching exercises with them. He used them one by one. Each set was a different weight similar to how he had increased the weight of the big weight bar. But much easier to manage since all of them were already created. He focused on his arms but made sure other pars of his body got a good work through too.

Roi went through all the dumbbells before turning back to the 400 pound weight set and doing his other routine. He began switching between using the weight set and the dumbbells. This is what his entire day was composed of...aside from some time spent passed out or resting....and once he burned the day away with these exercises he made another bed of moss to sleep off the work. Once he awoke the next fay he finally planned to add to the exercise curriculum. He got into position to do pushups then he manifested a sapling in a wooden pot on his back. The sampling was 50 pounds currently....

Roi began doing push ups with the sapling on his back. It was extremely easy starting out but like with the weight set the longer he did the exercise the heavier the weight seemed. Somewhere in the thousands he began to slowdown then eventually stop. Like with other exercises when he stopped to rest he ensured he drunk water sipping slowly so it stayed down. After repeating this four more times Roi as expected began to increase the size of the sapling therefore increasing it's weight. He kept doing push ups while increasing the weight simultaneously and once he'd gotten to 120 pounds and felt his arms slow just the tiniest bit he left the wight there as he continued doing his push ups.

Once again he pushed himself until he could perform double the amount of push ups with this new weight. Then he raised the weight again. Once again he pushed and trained until he could handle double the weight. This went on until he reached his cap which was once again 400 pounds. After he could do ten thousand push ups with 400 pounds on his back Roi went to go eat a hearty feast and meditated and digested for the entire rest of the day. He spent the night sleeping hanging from his knees on the branch of a ten foot tree he made. He woke up a couple of times that night to do a sit up and get rid of the blood rushing to his head before returning to his bat sleeping style.

When Roi woke up from that he started the day with the weight set training, then the barbell training, then the weighted push ups. He now had three extensive workouts for his circuit and they were each effective in their own way, but there was a such thing as pushing one's body too far past it's limit's so for the next week, besides the various breaks for rest and consumption used to keep sufficient energy, Roi focused only on those three workouts. This was the circuit he focused on and what took up the majority of his intense training week.

After that hellish training week Roi went out to drink and laze about on the weekend as a stress reliever and rest from training. Although he nearly beat the bartender for almost not serving him since he thought Roi was a child because of his height. When the weekend was done it was back to the Danger Room to prepare for the new course. Roi created five tree's at 10 feet, 15 feet, 20 feet, 25 feet, and 30 feet. Each tree had a vine attached to a big sturdy branch on each tree. Roi used his own strength and just his arms and began climbing the vine on the smallest tree.

Roi climbed and climbed till he reached the top of that vine then he jumped from the vine after swinging a bit and caught onto the vine of the next smallest tree with just his arms and used just his arms and upper body strength to catch steady and hold himself on that vine. Next he began once again using just his arms to climb the five foot gap left over on the vine hanging from the 15 foot tree. Once he reached near the top of that vine he repeated the process again jumping to the vine of the 20 foot tree then climbing. Then the 25 foot, and finally the 30 foot tree!

Now that he'd made it to the top of the vine for the 30 foot tree, Roi slowly put one hand beneath the other, one at a time. Once he got low enough to swing back to the 25 foot tree without hitting a branch, or missing/going above the vine, Roi swung back to the 25 foot vine. Thus he began to climb down again and basically started swinging from vine to vine in reverse. After making it to the smallest ten foot tree again Roi stretched himself, got water, and started weaving in and out between the trees and back.

Roi did this to burn and work the muscles of his leg and lower body. He had to work both his upper and lower body equally. He was already small he didn't need to be a grossly disproportionate muscle head as well. After returning from the run through the tree's Roi began climbing and swinging from vine to vine again and then came back again. After coming back he then began running through the tree's again and this became the cycle he repeated for the next few days. After that Roi began climbing fully up then down each vine one by one and doing bunny hop runs through the trees. This was also done for a few days. This is how the second week of strength training went for him.

Roi once again spent a lazy weekend drinking and relaxing before getting back to training. This time his first day of training was for improving both strength and combat. Roi grew another tree except this time he made the tree super dummy thick. He wrapped both hands in dry seaweed and slowly started stretching thoroughly and then carefully setting up his stance. Once he was in position he did a few breathing exercises and mentally chose a agility based combat form that utilized powerful blow's placed at the right place and the right time. His goal was to punch a hole through the thick tree. Without further ado, he threw the first punch!

BAM! Roi felt a painful vibration through his fist as he struck the tree. But this was not enough to deter him. Roi kept going fist after fist slamming into the tree. It was slow at first since he had to grit his teeth and keep going throughout the painful vibrations against his fist from hitting the tree but eventually he got used to the pain and was able to strike faster and more often. Every strike he threw at the tree trunk was at his full power but at first not a single one of them did more then bruise the extra strength tree trunk.

The more Roi punched the tree the more damage was done in the areas he hit the most. When multiple holes started to visibly form on the tree from the collection of punches against it, Roi patched the tree back up so it was good as new before beginning to strike again. The ultimate goal of this training was to punch a hole through the tree in one blow and after that he would work on kicking a hole through the tree in one blow. Roi kept going like this punch and patching continuously until he started to make small holes with every blow. He was so close to his goal!

After two more days of playing repeat Roi had just repaired the tree after it suffered a blow that left a hole more then halfway through it. After the tree was whole again there was a shine in Roi's eye. This was it! He could feel it. This was when he'd be able to smash straight through the tree. Roi breathed in deeply, pulled back his fist, and on his exhale he slammed it forward with a tyrannical force and not only did he make a hole straight through this time, he also sent the top of the tree flying all together. After reveling in his sucess for a moment he took a long break, had a feast, and did the bat sleep training. Then he repeated training against that thick tree with his feet. Soon he was once again blowing the top of the tree away after training his kicks for the remainder of the week. With that Roi's three weeks of strength training was complete.
