Five Core Principles:
1. Free
2. Open to All Men
3. Always Outdoors
4. Ends in Circle of Trust
5. PEER LED

We’re focusing on the “Peer Led” aspect today as we transition from one peer watching over our little group to another watching over it.

As we begin remember:
– I do not know your injuries, so modify anything we do today to work best for you.
– But do not cheat your body or your mind out of a solid beatdown this morning. Push yourself, but don’t hurt yourself.
– I’ll have my phone. If we need help at any point, we can call and get it.

– Projectivators – (number of guys)
– Willie Mays Hayes – 10 each side
– Arm Circles F/B – 10/10
– Tempo Merkins – 10

THE THANG:
MOSEY TO THE BLOCKS –
3 burpee or 15 squat “buy in”

At the Blocks
PEER LED DORA – Three Levels, Two Rounds
One of you will do an exercise, counting reps. The other will do a carry.
When the carrier comes back, call out the count you’re on and switch roles.

200 Heavy Squat/Good Mornings
300 LBCs/Heavy Big Boys

MOSEY BACK TO THE FLAG –

3 burpee or 15 squat

MARY:
Shoulder Taps

COT:
2 Timothy 2:2 “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.”

Gentlemen, I’ve had the privilege of watching over our cadre of High Impact men for the past year. Trying to be the chief encourager, the head organizer, and the caretaker of our flag. Today I’m handing that honor off to another man who has stepped up to serve our group.

Men like Erector, Snaggletooth, Kickflip, Mathlete, & Biohack have all carried our flag and taken a turn as our point men.
Those were big shoes to fill, but great examples to emulate.

But there are things about this group that we need to keep in mind:
• F3 is not about its visible leaders—it’s about every man stepping up and stepping in.
• We all share the weight. And the weight is real But this is not a one-man show.
• Peer-led means we trust each other. We challenge each other. And we regularly give away leadership to grow stronger.

Stepping up is not easy. But TomTom has done it so well. He is a good man and an athlete. Since he’s been with us, he’s modeled leadership skills in beatdowns and been a key voice in making The Project the kind of AO that is setting pace for all of F3 nation.

So it’s my honor to give TomTom charge of our flag today and I am looking forward to being here for all the ways he helps us, encourages us, and leads us.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
I discussed turning 59 and how I couldn’t help but reflect on my life. Thinking back to all of the good times and bad times, good decisions, bad decisions, successes, failures, happy memories and heart aches. Everything I have ever done or felt has shaped me into the person I am today. Even the heart ache has molded me. My hope and prayer is that i am a good man, a Godly man, a good friend, husband and father. I then read Joshua 14: 10-12.

COT:
I have often struggled with the concept of trusting in God. It is not that I don’t believe He can do what He says, but I struggle with the implementation. How does God work in the world today? How does He consider my requests through prayer but still know what the outcome will be? The problem with my struggle is that I can’t truly answer any of these questions. The answer is to trust God!
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB1995
[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. [6] In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.
God’s ways are greater than man’s, so we need to trust that God will do what accomplishes His will. His will is what is best for us.
