Earn your drinks at Night Ranger

Event Date

May 03, 2017


FNG-1 is Papa Surf's 2.0 "Rhino".

FNG-2 is Rhino's friend Eddy, his first post.

In May, the sun doesn't set until Night Ranger is over.  That means we're going to sweat a little, and earn our post workout beverages of choice.  Here is roughly what went down last night at Night Ranger:

1915:  Mosey up to the top of the deck with high knees, butt kickers, long striders, and Quadraphilia.

Disclaimer:  "I'm not a professional.  The professional workout is 2 levels down at Camp Gladiator".

WARMORAMA:

  • Press Jacks x 15 IC
  • Side Power Lunge x 10 IC
  • Slow Windmill x 10 IC
  • Slow Deep Squats x 15 IC
  • Side-ways plank walk down 1 level, stopping at every 3rd right hand placement for 1 Merican

The Thing:

Hustle down to the parking lot.  Get 3 kettle bells (two 25# and one 35#) to be carried with us tonight.  Stop in front of the DPK building for:

  • 25 jump ups OYO
  • 25 dips OYO
  • 25 KB swings OYO

Run to the playground across Gilead, switching off carrying the KBs, stopping half way for:

  • Burpees with 180 degree turn on the jump x 10 OYO

At the playground we did:

  • 25 jump squats OYO
  • 20 KB swings OYO
  • 15 Burpees with the 180 degree turn OYO
  • 10 pull-ups OYO
  • Low Flutters x 25 IC
  • Repeato all

Run back to the deck, stopping half way for:

  • Monkey Humpers x 15 IC

Return KBs to near my car.  At the deck we did:

  • Bear crawl up one level

Run down to the parking lot for Mary:

  • Mason Twists while passing KBs for a while (meh, not every idea is a keeper)
  • LBCs x 30 IC
  • 1 minute elbow plank

Recover, recover.  We covered 1.3 miles according to Strava.

Moleskin:

  1. Welcome to FNG Eddy!  We hope you are able to come back out and get your F3 Name soon.
  2. Speaking of Eddy, he and Rhino really know their cars!  Over beers after, they entertained Jenny and Dallas with car stories, to the point where Dallas may be buying a car this weekend.  We talked about the regrets of selling our first cars, and dream cars.  And horse power.  And making engines blow up.  We covered it all.
  3. Jenny and Dallas ran #TheStandard before the workout.  Apparently that's a thing, even before night workouts!  Thanks for the support guys.
  4. Papa Smurf, to his credit, showed YHC a different KB exercise from the ol' swing.  Thought, "hey I should incorporate that immediately!"  Then literally forgot 2 minutes later.  Probably a lack of oxygen.
  5. There were several BS calls on Jock Strap during the "long striders" in warm-up.  He is built to dominate that exercise!  Strong work tonight and good to see you bud.
  6. Strutter, fresh off his 30 day, 30 Burpee challenge for April, is looking fit for the effort.  Great to see the beast you've morphed into.
  7. Freedom, thank you for the opportunity to lead.  Love this AO and the 2nd F afterwards.  Is anyone willing to kindly step up and Q next week for Freedom?
  8. In case you are wondering:  Is it a good idea to Q a night workout, in between 2 very tough workouts by strong and eager VQs (Swing State at TMO Wed, Gypsy at Dragon Slayer Thur)?  Uh, the answer is NO, that is not a good idea.  Am quite sore, which is 49% Swing State's fault, 49% Gypsy's fault, and maybe 2% my fault.  Going to need much caffeine to function today.  Proud of all the awesome VQs that have been happening.  YHC would urge the PAX to support as many as possible, it's a big deal.

Until next time, Turnpike.
