COT/BOM

  • Thanks given to Him for the encouragement and hope He provides.  Prayers for the wisdom to utilize F3 to make us better men – in His image and to shine His light on others. Prayers lifted up for those all those (including family and friends) dealing with addiction issues, mental health issues, and those going through (chemo) treatments to help combat cancer.

NMM

  • I know we’ve been ‘complaining’ about the heat and humidity for a bit now, but today seemed even hotter and more humid.  Was certainly one of the hottest I’ve seen the temp display in my car at that time of day.
  • YHC forgot to do a couple of planned exercises (e.g Up-Downs and Tunnel-of-Love)… maybe next time!
  • The first group during Granny… only did 1min 45secs of plank and situp work.  YHC forgot one of the 15sec pieces.
  • It had been awhile since YHC had done Partner Over-Unders… they still suck.  Will be happy not to do them again for awhile.
  • Good to see faces I haven’t seen in awhile and good to see @Turnover back out (just started coming to F3WS last week).
  • An amazing group today… everyone was pushing hard.  I’m personally honored and blessed to be out there and lead.  Thanks for the keys, @Huckleberry!

    YHC thinks he got Carl’s Jr confused with Greenspan all morning long. No wonder my shout out to the great work of Greenspan fell on deaf ears! (or Greenspan is the pax you’re missing, but I don’t think so)
    Whoever the heck it was, went full BEASTMODE on the over unders! Jumping over the highest part of Manscape’s plank/CDD position! Impressive!

    You’re not crazy, didn’t sweat that much at UR on Saturday afternoon. Oh my word!

      I do know that Carl’s Jr could have jumped over an elephant during Over-Unders! I glanced over once, and was like “WOWZERS!!!”
