We all go through them. All PAX go through periods where they post to F3 5 times a week, and suddenly we might find ourself in a drought. Cycles of life cause things that prevent posting, or getting sufficient sleep, making it hard to take the #DRP. Weather changes, and it&#8217;s too hot&#8230; or like this morning, maybe it&#8217;s cold&#8230; both can be used as reasons to hit that snooze button. Through every cycle, the one thing that remains a constant is F3. As a collective, the PAX motivate you to post and avoid being the #SadClown. Not alwyas directly, but often indirectrly; and that motivation will go through cycles too, depending on where you are in life&#8230; Whether it&#8217;s not wanting to miss out on the fun, supporting a brother, needing to vent frustration, the need for prayer, or to get your day rolling. Like yesterday, YHC wanted to sleep in&#8230; but how could I miss a @Thistle Q at #Flatline (they are just too fun)?! It was the PAX, motivating YHC to post&#8230; so in honor of cycles, YHC simply used a fun play on words to focus on our muscle groups this morning.
