FNG-1 is Yogi and his adorable hat

On a cold and clear night in the luscious confines of Discovery Place Kids in Downtown Huntersville, 13 men mustered to test their physical limits. YHC recommended gloves and long sleeves for a fun game of 'Oh Shoot it's ladders.' Jaws went and ran. Here is the story of what went down:

Warm O'Rama

  • Disclaimer
  • SSH IC X20 – uhh, I think Camelback was doing the Carlton but I am not sure
  • Carrot puller IC X10 – everyone has arrived and exited their vehicle
  • Mosey to the picnic tables with Cros flying a caffeinated reindeer

The Main Thang

  • Ladder up – like Pinky's up but different
  • Ladders mean you do one of two different exercise and then 2 of the those and then three until the Q quits
  • We did the following at the picnic table:
    • 1 up to 7 of Squat jumps onto picnic benches with regular lunges
    • 1-7 Dips with Incline 'Mericans
    • 1-5 Shoulder Taps with Up/Down Planks
    • Mosey to the Rock pile – pick out a high-rep weight
    • 1-7 Curl with Bus Driver (hold squat and chest press)
    • 1-8 of Back Row with Skull Crusher <– called Cross Fit style kick backs to the derision of the Pax
    • 1-5 of Weighted V-up crunches with low flutters
  • Do a hot lap around the parking garage and return to the rock pile….
  • What goes up, must come down!   Ladders down!!!!  YAHOO!!!
  • We did the following with rocks:
    • 5 down to 1of Weighted V-up with low flutter
    • 8-1 Back row with Skull crusher <–I may have started preying to the Master Q of Q juice at this point
    • 7-1 Curl with Bus Driver
    • 1/2 hot lap around building to picnic tables
    • 5-1 Shoulder taps with Up/down Plank <– so much whining for an men's group that holds all workouts outside
    • 7-1 Dips with Incline 'Merican
    • 7-1 Regular squats with Lunge Step Ups 
  • Mosey around park in front of DPK and then to the top of the garage
    • Hold People's chair until the 6 arrives
    • Mosey over to rails of DPK and do the last lasser of 1 up to 5 of Dips with Decline 'Merican
    • Mobility 2 minutes for shoulders and legs
  • Recover, recover
  • BOM,COT, Announcements – Polar Bear, Krispy Kreme Run

The Nekked Man Moleskin

  • 14 degrees and 14 men show up – yes!
  • Great accountability circles in this group.  
  • Carpetbagger lost his beard and about 30 years off his face
  • Nacho Libre had some 'Stuff that Primetime says' quotes that need to get submitted – I think the highlight was – the incline 'Merican is easy because I have to do that to not crush my wife. 
  • Fashion choices ruled the evening
    • PitStop channeled his inner Steve Pine in WW84
    • Yogi had the most adorable fishing hat
    • The Pax left a trail of smoked sweatshirts
    • Something? forgot gloves and paid the price with freezing cold rocks
  • Meetings are starting…this is all I can update…cheers to a significantly better new year.
