I’ve gathered so much knowledge over the years with regards to health and fitness that I pretty much just improvise every time I work out and go by feel, never really counting reps or keeping track of time. I like to keep it simple, bodyweight stuff as a foundation and a lot of lifting, walking, swimming. It would drive me insane to stuck to a program with all I know. But I’m also pretty spontaneous in general. In any case, whatever I do, I also do the opposite, as a rule of thumb, in motion, intensity, whatever.

No Hollywood. Just 4 miserable dudes with shitty healthcare.<br /> 548The fighters:<br /> 5491. Ancient Viking – “The 5’4 Struggler”</p> 550<p> Stats: 5’4, malnourished, arthritis by 25, probably has worms. Life expectancy: 35 if lucky<br /> 551 Gear: Axe, seax knife, wool that smells like fish.<br /> 552 Strengths: Grew up fighting for food. Zero fear of dying. Pain tolerance = insane<br /> 553 Weaknesses: Scurvy, rickets, can barely see past 20 feet</p> 554<p>2. Scurvy Pirate – “Barely Made It To 30”</p> 555<p> Stats: Missing teeth, bleeding gums, skin falling off. Drunk 24/7 on rum to mask the pain<br /> 556 Gear: Cutlass, rusty pistol that misfires, peg leg maybe<br /> 557 Strengths: Dirty fighter. Will bite, stab, throw sand. Used to chaos on ships<br /> 558 Weaknesses: Canât run 10 feet without collapsing. One punch = broken ribs</p> 559<p>3. Rotting Cowboy – “Strychnine Whiskey Edition”</p> 560<p> Stats: 40 if heâs lucky. Teeth gone from whiskey + tobacco. Liver is 80% regret<br /> 561 Gear: Revolver with 3 bullets, knife, rope, and crippling dysentery<br /> 562 Strengths: Can shoot. Used to long miserable days and sudden violence<br /> 563 Weaknesses: Shaking hands, coughing blood, probably hallucinating already</p> 564<p>4. English Knight – “Overrated + Back Problems”</p> 565<p> Stats: 5’7, 220lbs but 80lbs of it is armor. Back is destroyed from carrying that shit<br /> 566 Gear: Sword, maybe plate armor if he can get it on in time<br /> 567 Strengths: Trained to kill. Strong as hell for 2 minutes<br /> 568 Weaknesses: Gets winded climbing stairs. Armor = oven. Falls down = canât get up</p> 569<p>Arena: Modern generic setting – “everything’s possible”<br /> 570Parking lot, gas station, abandoned warehouse, patch of dirt. Concrete, cars, dumpsters. No horses, no ships, no castles.<br /> 571How it goes down:<br /> 572Minute 1: Knight puts on armor. Immediately sweating. Viking and Pirate circle each other. Cowboy checks his gun.<br /> 573Minute 2: Pirate tries to shoot the knight. Misfire. Pirate collapses coughing. Viking charges with axe. Knight swings sword once, gets winded.<br /> 574Minute 3: Cowboy shoots. Maybe hits someone. Maybe shoots a car alarm and everyone panics.<br /> 575Minute 4: Everyone is gassed. Knight is on the ground trying to get up. Viking is bleeding. Pirate is vomiting. Cowboy is drinking whiskey to cope.<br /> 576Winner: Viking 5/10 times<br /> 577Heâs the smallest but heâs the most used to being miserable and fighting anyway. No armor to slow him down, no guns to misfire, just pure “Iâm gonna die anyway so letâs go” energy.<br /> 578Runner up: Cowboy 3/10<br /> 579If he lands a shot early. If not, the shaking and dysentery take him out.<br /> 580Knight 1.5/10: Only if he catches someone in the first 30 seconds before his back gives out.<br /> 581Pirate 0.5/10: Scurvy is a hell of a debuff.<br /> 582Final verdict:<br /> 583They all die within a week from infection anyway. But the Viking is the last one standing in the parking lot, sitting on a curb, eating a gas station hot dog and wondering why everything sucks.<br /> 584Cutting the Hollywood crap really just means everyone loses </p> 585 586 <div class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://www.deathmetal.org/news/cirith-ungol-releases-all-the-sh
