If I know I can do exercises with the 45... then the days I inadvertently grab the 35, I just assume I didn't and the body goes 'oh a slight deload today, thanks' and I don't stress the lost 10# since I know I already do them with the 45s on other days.

WonderNatarella Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi there! I am a Noob, considering joining the rangers (I'm still hesitating with Assassins) for the next NF challenge! At the moment, everything is going well, I'm focusing on the diet, I'm working out 5/6 times per week. I strengh train 3 times (mostly with free weights and rope jumps as recovery) and cardio train (zumba or spinning) 2 other times. I usually do so at the gym where I have a trainer since july (before I was only focusing on cardio which was not the best way to reach my goals, I understood ) I would like to lose weight, and I also would like to join a tough guy alike race in 2014. I'd better be prepared ! I discovered crossfit and I really liked it, I will join a crossfit trainings in different boxes of my city in August and I think I will sign up for 6 months in one of them. I like a lot of things to be honest : I like the idea of boxing as well, capoeira etc...For some reason, my attention is into CrossFit at the moment. I will keep on reading the rangers pages, I am curious about the kind of minichallenges you set, the kind of goals and objectives you guys are having etc... If anyone want to share his/her experience, it would be appreciated!

I-Jo Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 we are the rangers... arm of doom yeah totally RAD (see see what I did there- yeah- uber dorky too)... we do all sorts of things- check the last challenge thread to see what the other mini challenges are- we often go to other camps to keep our "jack of all trades" knife sharp as it were. speaking of doing all the things- I spun tonight- need to get back to doing that regularly- been missing it- I need it. Did a for time 4 rounds work out today and one on Monday- working out is rough this week- been nice to slow down but I feel crazy without it. Link to comment
idealistinfire Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I like the Rangers because it fits my overall health goal of "be able to pull myself up and over a wall unassisted and run 6 miles straight". Plus, I'm goofy and get bored doing the same workout rather easily, so I picked a guild that will let me dabble in everything so long as I'm getting faster/stronger/more flexible Level 5 Lizardfolk: Assassin STR - 4, DEX - 3, STA - 5, CON -4, WIS - 20, CHA - 12"You want to know the difference between a master and a beginner?

ladylydia Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Anyone know stretches for biceps? I wandered over to the monks and did one of their mini-challenges (yes, I'm aware they don't count but I get bored easily). They said to do 1000 punches within the week, I did them in one run last night. I could not move my arms this morning! I've been able to stretch out the rest of my upper body today, but realized I don't know any bicep stretches.

starpuck Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Soooo I just happened to be wearing my NF shirt when I went to Fry's hoping to score a new 22" monitor. (Yeah yeah, that's as big as my desk will hold.) The "Norton Truck" is there and they tell us 'You can get free capes over there!' FREE CAPES? OH HELL YEAH! So we go do this little crime fighting interactive thing and get our capes. SCORE! And after that, they've got a big green screen set up so we can take our pictures with Superman. Wish I'd posed with the shirt a little more forward facing - but still! Yeaaah rocking the NF logo with Superman! IN A CAPE!
