Winners let obstacles motivate them. Losers let obstacles defeat them. The challenge, loss, or discomfort is the same, but YOU have the power to choose its effect. Inspire or quit – which will you choose?

I reintroduced the GoRuck 60×60 and let them know it would be a regular exercise this morning. For the 1 person reading this, if you’re not sure what the 60×60 is, here you go.
Start with the bag on the ground in front of your feet. Bend over and put your hands on the bag, drop back to a plank, execute a pushup with your chest touching the bag, pop up into the bottom of a squat, rack the sandbag to a front-rack position, stand up then toss the sandbag over your head once you get to the top of the movement. That is 1. Turn around, address the sandbag and do it again. Repeat for 60 seconds.
To ensure we knew how to execute it, we performed our first 60×60.
Rack the bag and make our way behind the school to the back drop-off entrance.
15 of each exercise:
Simbas (because I love them and they’re harder with a sandbag)
Flutters with press. At rep #8, I was called out for not actually pressing my sandbag so I performed 8 correct reps once everyone else completed their 15. I’m thankful IJ called me out as I’m sure others saw this yet didn’t speak up. We need men in our lives who will speak up.
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the other end of the back stretch behind the school.
15 of each exercise:
Squats
Dead Lifts (Hopefully with proper form)
Thrusters
Slow(er) Calf Raises
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the corner of the loop by the lighted sign.
15 of each exercise:
Partner Derkins (no sandbag)
Curls
Overhead Press
Chest Press (15 I/C actually means 30)
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet over by the rock
Another 60×60
Partner Up

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: marriages, addictions, and family changes that cause dynamics in the home.
COT: early into the workout the site Q asked to share my “why I do F3” it is simple because of you all. I was definitely a sad clown about 12 years ago when 2 guys were coaching my sons soccer team. I would drop him off and then go for a run. They asked if I ever heard about this workout group called F3. I said I’ll think about it. 1 day later when going to get a haircut I ran into another guy he said let me tell you about this group I’ve been working out with called F3. As a new believer ( I had been agnaustic until this time) I knew God was putting men into my life to change my perspective on life and him. Because of the men I have met and that have given me so much I want to give back to each of you and to men that have not been introduced to what we have. I know I am not the best at getting guys to come out but I love getting to walk in life with all of you that are coming out and that bring others to the gloom. Love you all.
