So, YHC wanted to try something completely outside of my comfort zone and to mix it up a little.  A pre-blast was sent out with an invitation for something the PAX had never done before and in celebration of the first day of school, a little math.  YHC arrived early at Christian Brothers to find Sparknut’s vehicle completely blocking the entrance.  Thoughts already began that this was not a good start.  However, 11 PAX who weren’t afraid of the Monday DRP showed in support.  Some non-regular attendees as well.  After a disclaimer and a KB move to the BB & T bank, we were off.

The Thang

YHC had dropped some supplies previously in preparation for the gloom to come.  The PAX were given a deck of 54 cards (including the 2 Jokers), as well as reference sheet.  Each PAX would draw a card and the suit determined the exercise.  PAX completed the number of reps for each card.  2-10 = face value in reps, J-K = 10 reps, A = 11 reps, and Joker = 15 reps (Because he’s funny like that).

Round 1

♥ = Tricep EXTENSIONS (Typo corrected by Jimmy Buffet.  Once again.)

♣ = Sumo Squats

♦ = Bicep Curls

♠ = Shoulder Press

Plank after the last card is pulled.  When all PAX are done, mosey around the building.

Round 2

This time, for each card pulled, multiply the value x 2.

♥ = Tricep Extensions

♣ = Sumo Squats

♦ = Bicep Curls

♠ = Shoulder Press

Plank after the last card is pulled.  When all PAX are done, mosey around the building.

Round 3

This time, for each card pulled, multiply the value x 3.

♥ = Tricep Extensions

♣ = Sumo Squats

♦ = Bicep Curls

♠ = Shoulder Press

Plank after the last card is pulled.  When all PAX are done, mosey around the building.

Round 4

This time, YHC changed up the exercises for variety.  Back down to face value and the count was for EACH SIDE, when applicable.

♥ = Chest Presses

♣ = Lunges

♦ = Lawn Mowers

♠ = Goblet Squats

Plank after the last card is pulled.  When all PAX are done, mosey around the building.

Round 5

This time, for each card pulled, multiply the value x 2.  The count was still for each side, when applicable.

♥ = Chest Presses

♣ = Lunges

♦ = Lawn Mowers

♠ = Goblet Squats

Plank after the last card is pulled.  When all PAX are done, mosey around the building.

Prayer requests for Schnizel and the numerous families with Mother-In-Laws with health issues, as well as those who have passed.  Prayers for all the teachers, parents, students and anyone assisting with the schooling system today as school starts back.

Moleskin

Welcome FNG Brandon, forever known as Bushay.  Lessons learned from PAX suggestions are to use the deck more in a group setting, compared to individual exercises.  Point taken.  Thanks to all the PAX who trusted YHC to show and be part of the experiment.  Hope it was worth it and you all got your money’s worth.

Trust – Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
