COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10‭, ‬12 ESV

MOLESKIN:
Trying to do 1,000 rep step ups in 45 minutes is practically impossible. But doing it with other men we can succeed.  F3 is about getting out of your comfort zone,  facing adversity together so you can become what God wants you to be.

From the Book Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Highly recommend you familiarize yourself with the ideas in this book.

What is the opposite of Fragile? Most people say Robust, Hard, Sturdy, Strong, etc. Paraphrasing, Nassim says, that if Fragile means that the rougher that item is handled, the faster it breaks. Then the opposite of Fragile should be “Anti-Fragile” where the harder something gets handled, hit, etc., the stronger it gets.

Imagine a package that says, “Fragile, Handle with Care” – We can understand this idea.

What about a package that says, “Sturdy, Can take some hits but may eventually break”?

An Anti-Fragile package would say, “Kick me, throw me as much as possible because the more challenges I face, the stronger I get”. This is the idea of being Anti-Fragile.

Have you ever met anyone that was wearing a “Fragile, handle with care” label? Which label are you wearing today? What if we took that label off and wore the Anti-Fragile label?

I know that all of you Men reading this inherently understand what it means to be Anti-Fragile. That’s why you keep coming out at 530a in below freezing temperatures. Day after day, week after week and year after year. It’s important that we continue to remind each other of Anti-fragility. That way, when we come across a challenge we’re ready for it. We need to eat stress and challenges like Energy Bars.

The easiest way to remember comes from Brian Johnson. Remember your OMMS. Like meditation chanting OMMS.

MOLESKIN:

Pray for the Men of our PAX. We are called to be leaders in our families, work and communities. There will be a lot put on us at all times. Continue to pray for the ability to speak Truth when needed. Give grace in abundance and daily renewed strength to repeat this as many times as we are called.

DODGEBALL!!!
Normal Dodgeball rules apply. Also since we don’t want to miss out on any 1st F, Additional Rules are below:
1. PAX is only allowed to hold the ball for a 5 Mississippi count. If caught for failure to release, offending PAX must complete 3 burpees on the backline and other team receives point
2. Every throw requires the throwing individual PAX to run to the backline, complete 1 burpee
3. If hit, PAX must run to backline, do 3 burpees
4. Scoring: Scoring team must mark the point on the whiteboard each time. Any player can add their point for the team. You are a live player and can get hit.
5. Whiteboard is on sideline, middle of court, against fence
6. Play each round to 5, winning team gets SSHs until losers are done with 10 burpees
7. Every 5 minutes an exercise is introduced for whole PAX. Q’s choice. Once completed, play is resumed.

This turned into a lot of running and burpees, and SSHs, and upright pickle pounders, and monkey humpers.
