10/20

Shenjie sighed as he prepared for his morning workout routine. If he was to have any hopes of being ready for what Goki-Sensei had to show him, then he would have to be in peak physical condition. As he quickly dropped to the floor and began to do push-ups. "I must do 100 push-ups before seeing Goki-sensei" Shenjie said as he pushed himself up and down on the floor of his apartment in an attempt to better himself. He felt his body becoming stronger with every single push up. "yes, continue to grow!" He shouted at himself assertively as he quickly completed 30 push-ups with ease. As he suddenly felt the need to challenge himself, he quickly shifted his weight to his right side so that he could do push ups with only one hand. As he found his body had to work harder, Shenjie allowed himself to push his limits physically. "Keep it up, I must be ready for Goki-Sensei!" he shouted as he vigorously attempted to keep doing the one handed push ups. In the same instant, he widened his legs' stance so that they were open. He felt reprieved as his body weight became more manageable from this position. He slowly placed his left arm behind his back as he decided that he would attempt to do at least 30 push ups with each arm. Shenjie was quickly becoming fatigued with his right arm as he reached about 25 push ups. "you must do 30!" he commanded himself as sweat rolled off of his brow. Suddenly he found himself completing 30 one handed push ups. 

"now for the other hand." He muttered as he began to switch hands. He would have to push his limits if he was to have any hope of being ready for the gates. As he allowed himself to work some more on the push ups, he began to do 30 of them with his left hand alone in the same wide stance. As he extended his left arm, he quickly shifted his right arm behind his back like he had his left. This time around, Shenjie felt much more comfortable than last time. His body was more prepared as his arm continued to carry him up and down. He continued like this for a good two minutes before he was ready to take a quick break. "wait, No break!" he said correcting himself as he quickly threw himself into a handstand, doing a set of 20 hand stand push ups this time. "I must become the strongest." he affirmed as he continued to build his body up. He felt the exercise work his back muscles as he did his best to bolster his strength, and physical body limitations. "I must become stronger." He chanted to himself as he did his best to ignore the pain of pushing one's body to the limit.

"ah good, now I think I'll do some sit ups." he said as he quickly got down on the ground and began to do a set of crunches. "got to be...the...best" He said as he quickly did 100 sit ups in no time. His physical capabilities were definitely higher that that of a lesser man. He felt his body power itself as his body became strong like an ox. After doing the sit ups, he quickly got up and began to practice boxing drills. He felt his aerobic exercise working his lungs, and how much stamina he physically had. Stamina was extremely important when it came to learning gates. He allowed himself to take deep breaths as he punched and kicked about quickly to get the full positive effect of what he was trying to do. Shenjie's desire to be the best continued to drive him through the exercise as he continued to build up his strength to withstand the muscle damaging possibility of the gates. He sighed as he allowed himself to stop for a moment to take a deep breath before quickly running out the door so that he could do running exercises while he went to visit Goki-Sensei. 

Shenjie quickly applied his leg weights as he began to run down the street towards the Dojo for which his teacher lived at. He felt his legs working as his muscles adjusted to carrying the heavy weights for the first time in a long time. His body was working harder than it had ever had to do so; which was definitely tuckering Shenjie out; however, he was trying to push his own physical limits. If he could push his limits normally, than he could easily do so with the gate open. He did his best to remain at a near sprint speed the whole way as he ran down the street, with his legs aching the whole time. "damn...I forgot how much I hate these things." He said as he continued to run with the weights on his legs. When he burst through his teachers door, he was near out of breath, and tired as hell. "I'm here Goki-sensei..." he panted as he leaned forward to rest for a moment. "good...because you will be working out today!" Goki announced to Shenjie's disdain. As he did so, Shenjie quickly began to work on the second half of his routine that he would have to do. This involved more push ups, sit ups, crunches, and weight lifting of course. He was dead tired, but his will pushed through the pain
