COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
14 HIMs came out on the third anniversary of my first VQ! Love the JUCO PAX and their enthusiasm.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Don’t allow yourself to become complacent. It’s obvious that no one here is complacent with their physical self as we are all here to grow and push ourselves to the next level. It’s important that we apply that same desire to grow in all areas of our lives. Remember that the goal of F3 is not to workout, but to invigorate male leadership within the community. I hope that JUCO has done that for more men than just myself. Today marked three years to the date from my VQ. I was hesitant to step up and take the lead in a workout, but the constant encouragement (and badgering) from Judge Judy got me over the hump. Taking the lead of a group of men like those at JUCO has given me greater confidence in my ability to lead. I’ve been able to take that confidence and use it to take leadership in other areas of my life. These last three years have really pushed me to step up into more leadership positions and I’m grateful to the PAX at JUCO for that.

MOLESKIN:

Love the PAX at JUCO. These men have pushed me to hold myself to a higher standard.
