Deck of Cards

Shuffle a standard deck of card and get ready to deal one card at a time.

Clubs = Dumbbell Clean - alternate right and left side
Diamonds = Thrusters
Hearts = Pushups
Spades = Push Press - pvc or OLY bar

Turn over a card and perform that # of reps of the exercise for that suit. Continue turning cards, with no rest between exercises, until the deck is done. When a joker appears, do 10 burpees.

Scaling - Aces = 1 for beginners and 11 for experienced CrossFitters. Also, turn two or three cards face up slide them in the middle and/or 3/4 down in the deck. When these cards show, take a 30-60 second rest before continuing on.
