  • Cumulative Effect

    A baker’s dozen spent a Saturday morning on the Gridiron.  Here is how it went down.

    • COP
      • Invisible jump rope
      • IW
      • Ukrainian soldier
      • Helicopters
      • Arm circles
      • DMH
      • Suzanne Somers
      • Merkins
      • LBC
      • Penguins
      • APD
    • Cumulative beast
      • 216 Chuck Norris push-ups

      • 144 copperhead squats
      • 108 2x side crunches
      • 72 2x crab cakes
      • 36 Mike Tyson push-ups
    • 3x check – run, dips, bench kicks
    • Turd icing on the beast – round of burpees
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work from the PAX today.  YHC always takes us out giving thanks that we are healthy enough to be out there.  It hit hard to see Pigskin slowed with a health issue that needs to be addressed/monitored.  As a PAX we got to pray for him.  As a PAX, hopefully we do not take our own healthy status for granted.  It is a blessing that we get to be out there working out.  Here is to the hope that Pigskin heals up quickly.  We are praying for his upcoming doctors appointments. 

    God is good all of the time!
