New Office Tour

On what was the most humid day of the year so far, 9 pax got after it in the gloom. <@U01NGHPR2HW> asked that I give my “why” for F3. My why isn’t because of the workout or doing something that most ordinary people wouldn’t do or because it put me in the best shape of my adult life when I was called to donate a kidney to a friend, but it’s because of the group of men that create a community that cares about each other.
I know that if I don’t show up, someone will wonder where I am, how I’m doing, and truly care about me.
This is more than a workout group. It’s a community that I’m proud to be a part of. Keep posting, check on Kotters, and get more men into this group.
WARMUP: We mossey’d over to the First Baptist church parking lot to give us some room and some nice pavement to work from. Started with SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Merkins, Parker Peters
THE THANG: The OG Dora of 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. Followed that with a Jack (1/2 of a Jack Webb) of burpees and Overhead claps and then a Webb Jack of Mountain Climbers and Mack-tar-njais.
MARY: Ran back towards COT and then climbed the steps at the park before going back to Veterans Park for some box cutters and some flutters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter service on 7/3/26.
COT: Lots of prayers for families, jobs, and our group.

https://f3nation.com/get-right is never over because “The Time is Always Now.”

If something isn’t solid in your world, what are you gonna do about it? The time is now.
Put aside your ego, doubts, fears, worry, hesitations, past, limiting beliefs, and get started. The time is now.
You know what needs to be done. Gentlemen, the time is now.

“There is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge
is in the moment, the time is always now.”
—James Baldwin

Grateful to share the gloom with you this morning

Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!

Consistency Is a Heavy Lift – Grip It and Flip It

:checkered_flag: Warm-Up (In Cadence):
– Windmills – 10
– Imperial Walkers – 15
– Low Slow Squats – 10

Slowsy to the tires and cinderblocks to get our minds right for what’s coming.

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 1
Each PAX picks up the biggest tire they can handle. We move in formation—when a man drops his tire, he drops for 1 burpee. The next PAX drops after a 10-count. We go counterclockwise until everyone completes the loop = The Pain Train.

:repeat: 5 Work Stations (rotate when Sledgehammer station hits 20 swings):
1. Sledgehammer Slams (Timer): 20 swings on the large tire
2. Cinderblock Deadlifts
3. Cinderblock Curls + Overhead Hold
4. Tire Flips
5. Cinderblock Overhead Presses

:runner: Mosey – One lap around the parking lot to reset

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 2
Same tire drill, but this time 2 burpees on each drop. Stations remain the same.
1. Sledgehammer Slams (Timer): 20 swings on the large tire
2. Cinderblock Deadlifts
3. Cinderblock Curls + Overhead Hold
4. Tire Flips
5. Cinderblock Overhead Presses
6.
:runner: Mosey – Another lap around the lot
Steady. Silent. Suffering.

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 3 (Bonus Round)
Burpees increase to 3 per drop. Then:
– 1 PAX flips the tire once
– 2 PAX flip the tire twice
– 3 PAX flip the tire three times
– 4 PAX flip the tire four times

Once all reps are in—haul the tires back to the starting line.

:brain: 3rd F: Consistency – The Unseen Power of Steady Leadership
““Today we’re going to dive into one of the most underrated leadership traits—Consistency. In our homes, workplaces, and in the gloom, it’s not always the loudest man who leads—it’s the most steady.””
Key Highlights:
– Consistency builds trust over time.
– Complexity is the enemy—simplify to stay steady.
– The consistent man becomes a safe harbor for those around him.

Challenge to PAX:
Where in your life are you slipping? What system or habit needs to be rebuilt? Steady beats flashy. Every time.

:pray: COT / Announcements / Closing Prayer
We circled up, locked shields, and prayed it out—grateful for the men who show up again and again and again.
