I was up for the challenge mentally. All I had to do was meet it physically as well. All things considered, I believe I was successful at that. Tonight was my first round at level 2 in which we added more weight and reps to the existing workout, ran with the weighted vest, and added a whole new exercise that changed the equation completely. We were supposed to add more weight and laps to the run but we decided to keep the run where it was and go with swimming laps instead. I've always considered myself to be a good swimmer, but I have never done it competitively or for fitness. My goal was to do 25 laps in 3 minutes. Neither [edited] or Me know anything about swimming so we guessed that 25 would be a good starting number, with me working my way up to 50 and so on as the training progressed. I wasn't even able to do half that. While my confidence was boosted by my ability to reach my goals with the rest of the workout, I was given another wake up call by the swimming exercise. It's no secret that my opponent is an avid swimmer, which means that his overall fitness level will be very high come fight night. In order for me to be a contender I'll have to continue swimming along with my usual workout until I am certain my fitness and conditioning matches and even overwhelms his. With that I am certain that, as well as the kickboxing training I am scheduled to go through, I can be successful in the ring.
On that note I am looking forward to Session 6 tomorrow, which could very well be my last at level two depending on weather I can complete the 5th round of reps under the time [edited] has set for me. He is confident that I can do it, and if so we will go strait into Level 3 of the conditioning training. I'm not going to lie, I am a little intimidated by what he has in-store for me.

Phase 1 completed
Will finally competed phase 1 of his training aimed at getting him in to the shape he should have been in to start with.
Phase 2 starts on his 5th training session; increase in reps, weight, and stricter time standard will raise his physical performance so that he gets to phase 3 hopefully by training session 9.
So everyone can grasp his improvements while maintaining his training secrecy a point standard will be created to monitor his Physical health like body weight, body fat %, and Body Mass Index; along with a way to rate his Power, Speed, and Stamina. Stay tuned for that.

New goodies
We got some new goodies to help in furthering and improve Wills physical performance. I would post pictures and details about what they are exactly but then Nick will have an idea of what improvments Will is making and how hes doing it.
Now your probably thinking "But you post videos of his workouts". That is partly true. The weights he is using, his times, duration, total sets and reps, and even the videos aren't showing the full workout. The secrecy of his workouts and how he is improving so quickly is still only known by Will and Team Haakshield.

Improved Media
Had some difficulty with some of our recording devices as you could tell from the crappy videos already. But now, a ton of issues have been worked out. The FlipvideoHD device is now working, and have a compact video campera for back up. The Iphone's issue about converting MOV to AVI or WMV file types and how it makes the video rotate has been corrected by a useful iphone video editor app. SO now that we can get better quality videos and we can also now edit them better, we don't have any excuse other than... we aren't pros a making videos.
*UPDATE*
The Iphone will no longer be used for videos. Despite rotating the video 90* to the right, then saving it, and then emailing it straight to youtube, for some reason still treats the video like it was never rotated. The FlipvideoHD and the Compact camera will work fine.
After rotating, saving, and emailing straight to youtube...

session 4
this was the last beginning session. I was able to do five rounds and round five was under a minute. I get 2 days off then we up the weight and the distance of the run and start over. I tested the new weight to see how difficult it is going to be, and this next week will be no walk in the park. I am confident though that next week will be just as successful as this one.
