Today we discussed our roles as leaders. We are to step up when others step back. It may be leading a group at work, leading a workout in F3, or volunteering to take the kids to practice. Leaders do what is needed, when it’s needed. TClaps to Battlebot for leading the Armory site for over a year. As counterculture as it is, he stepped out of his leadership role to allow for a new man to step up. TClaps to Naked and Afraid for being that HIM.
It is incumbent upon us to help with that transition – to support our new site Q by volunteering to lead a few workouts and to show up each week. In F3, we lead on a rotating fashion. We are a group of leaders, not a group with a leader. We lead where we can and find a man to replace us when he can do it 80% as well as we can. That’s what leaders do.
Well done, men. It was a pleasure to share the Gloom with you men.

Aye!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, yoga, mosey
Humane Burpee – look it up

THE THANG:
Farmers Carry towards the school courtyard
Stop a few times along the way for 5 of each
Goblet Squat
Squat and Press (each side)
Good Morning
Single Leg Deadlift (each side)

Got to the courtyard. Bearcrawl with the bell stopping for one manmaker at each light

At the end, built up into a kettlebell flow with each arm;
Swing
Clean
Squat
Snatch
as we left we added an overhead lunge at the end.

Mixed and match how many times we did each side
MARY: one moment of core, but there was so much mumblechatter and very little work. So, we agreed to do four burpee snatches instead.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter
COT: prayers for marriage, parents, travel, our nation

NMM: not sure why, but I need deadlines to get some things accomplished in my life. Set a deadline on when you’ll go on your next date with your M, or when you’ll do something with just you and your kiddos. Be proactive about it. I know I have to; otherwise it is relegated to a “someday” activity.

A privilege to lead
