YHC had Q prior week, but needed a swap and inadvertantly ended up kicking off Respect Month at HoP though 2.5 years from that milestone. Feeling an obligation to honor the number 50, Q had no plan but knowing we'd do fifty reps on a bunch of exercises. Then clever Crab Cake chimes in on Slack wall: "Hey, Soybean, got an acronym for the PAX?" Light bulb clicks on and a workout materializes quickly: A.C.R.O.N.Y.M. I didn't say the light was bright…just on. 😉
