  • The Deck Takes the Q

    Seven noble warriors accepted the fate presented by the 54 cards in a deck.  With KBs in tow, here is how it went down:

    • COP
      • SSH
      • IW
      • Dead man hang
      • Helicopters
      • Arm Circles
    • KB Deck of Death, 12 reps for each suit
      • Hearts – KB curls (156)
      • Diamonds – High pulls (156)
      • Clubs – Sit ‘n press (156)
      • Spades – Overhead pulls (156)
      • Joker – Burpees (24)
    • COT with YHC taking us out

    Great work by the PAX.  Offshore was more sassy than usual, but the deck usually brings that out in someone.  Prayers for healing for Pigskin.  Great to be with these men to start the day.

    God is good all of the time!
