Moleskin:

Fartsacking today would have been a disaster, a true disappointment. It would have been really, really bad. 

But let me tell you, folks, today was incredible. Nobody has ever seen an bootcamp like this. Believe me—every single Pax pushed hard, and they’re all better because of it.

Overdose, I’ve been watching him, and believe me, every time I post with him, this guy is making serious improvements. Tremendous effort, just tremendous.

We made an official move today, okay? Side Straddle Hops are now known as “Soprano’s”—and it’s veto-proof, folks. Nobody’s touching that. It’s a beautiful thing really.

Roadie’s got these fantastic locks that were the talk of the morning, let me tell you. He is amazing. But even with that flowing hair, it didn’t slow him down at all. Truly aerodynamic, truly impressive. 

Holiday hasn’t lost a bit of steam since his triathlon. He brought it again today, big time. Let me tell you what, I’ve golfed with lots of people, and no one can compete with him in the locker room. It’s unbelievable folks.

Deep Dish—what a partner. He is so powerful. This guy can knock out LBCs, Squats, Merkins like nobody’s business. 

Now, Grumpy—poor, poor, Grumpy—between the SSH (Soprano’s), B2Ws, Mountain Climbers, and glute bridge thrusters, we may have pushed him over the edge, maybe too hard! But he’s going to walk into school today with real swag, folks. His buddies will be amazed when they hear how many reps he put in before sunrise. Truly amazing I tell you.

Big thanks to Soprano for lending the keys to the AO this morning. The energy was huge. Probably one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen rep numbers like this, truly amazing. I tell you, it was a great way to start the day, believe me. Everyone is saying it really. They truly are. It’s phenomenal.

Reminder:

The F3 mission statement is “to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership”. 

F3 5 Core Principles:

Workouts …

• Are free of charge
• Are open to all men
• Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
• Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
• End with a Circle of Trust

There are plenty of Q slots at all AO’s. Please sign up. For new Pax, volunteer to lead/Q (we’ll help you co-Q). For you seasoned guys, sign up for some Q’s.

Invite a FNG or brother you haven’t seen in a while who’s a Kotter. Invite that #just1 who needs you more than you know (an invitation is a powerful thing brothers). If none of those work for you, just show up. No one will be left behind, but it all starts with the discipline to take one.

 

Until next time…
