(Poll revealed that despite the unlimited access to everything these days, our particular kids are all somehow more sheltered than we were at that age.)<\/p>\n<p>Next up, a stop by the Depot, where Step Downs are finally gaining some traction with the Pax (YHC heard Akbar complaining about them Saturday).   Mix of the usual, step ups, Bulgarians, step downs, jump overs, calf raises, slow squats, x10-12 IC, punctuated by some freak nasties between sets.<\/p>\n<p>Head over to the trailhead steps for a set of 11\u2019s &#8211; merkins at bottom, Sister Mary\u2019s up top.<\/p>\n<p>Wrapped up with a quick Mary, COT, and Pelican prayed us out, reminding us to be thankful for the gift of forgiveness.
