2021 will be the third year for the Mental Battle movement to shed light on mental health concerns for men.

As in the previous two years, we have a new workout to shed light on the mental battle we all battle alongside our brothers.

March 27 is the anniversary of Miyagi’s friend passing away due to suicide and while we honor that date, please feel free to schedule your workout around whatever date works best for your region or AO.

I also encourage you to spend some time afterward either at the workout or later talking about mental health.

Perform each exercise at ten reps, then repeat at 15, and 20.  If you finish, 25.

After each set, encourage one or two Pax to share their experience of mental health issues either with themselves or someone they know.
