Circuits of Courage

THE SCENE: Just about perfect weather – 50 degrees, no wind

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH IC x 25
  • Cherry Pickers IC x 10
  • Tempo Squats IC x 12
  • Merkins IC (4 ct) x 15
  • 2 sets of 5 burpees OYO as we toured the circuit

THA-THANG:

We did a circuit on the grinder (1 station at each corner) with 1 station at the flag pole, and another at the pavalon. Each station has 2 exercises listed. Pretty simple – pair up with a battle buddy and do 20 reps of both exercises listed and move to the next station until time is called. Ended up making it through 3 rounds.

  • Station 1: Mountain Climbers (4 ct.) and Squat Jumps
  • Station 2 (flag pole): Dry Docks and Flutter Kicks (4 ct.)
  • Station 3 (pavalon): Bench Rows and Derkins
  • Station 4: Supermans and Hello Dollies (4 ct.)
  • Station 5: Shoulder Press and Bicep Curls (both exercises with the supplied rocks)
  • Station 6: Merkins and Lunges

Mosey to base of Little Baby Hill. One partner runs the hill and does 2 burpees at the top, while the other does squats at the bottom. Rinse & repeat – 3 times up the hill each.

MARY:

Did a little plank work, 20 American Hammers (4 ct) IC, and finished with AMRAP LBC’s for the last minute.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

38 strong this morning – No FNG’s

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When one man acts courageously, it strengthens the spines of other men. It took courage for Peaches and Food Truck to share their testimonies with us at the 3rd F event on Saturday. By doing so, they allowed our small group time to be more open and allowed us as men to be more vulnerable with each other because they had the courage to be open themselves.

When we come out each morning to the gloom, we can either choose to push through the suck and make our brothers push themselves harder and farther than they imagined, or we can choose to half ass it and settle for mediocrity. When I see a brother pushing himself to his max, something stirs inside me that makes me want to push myself harder as well. Don’t be the guy who waits for someone else to step up before stepping up yourself. We’re called as HIMs to be the guy that strengthens the spines of other men through our actions.

Cash Out Together

We reap what we sow, but not in the same season.

Keep your eyes fixed ahead and do simply do the next right thing.  The fruit will come, in it’s due season.

– The delayed fruit causes us to be short-sighted, and we pay a price for it in the long haul.
– It is so easy to pursue unrighteous, unhealthy, “bad” things and hard to pursue righteous, healthy, good things.
– This is why long term goals couple with short term grit is critical for growth.
– Keep your eyes fixed ahead and do simply do the next right thing.  The fruit will come, in it’s due season.

Get in the habit of taking out the Garbage.  Get into the habit of confessing sin to your brothers.  Don’t let it build up and fester in your heart.  God gives Grace the the humble.  1 John 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psalm 51:10

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a rightb spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.

BOM
Iron sharpens iron is more than just a tag line, it is the heart of what F3 is all about.  Each man, by being part of the PAX, on any given morning is choosing to reject passivity and accept responsibility for himself and the men on his left and right. That is the “secret sauce” of F3.  It is what helps men to see growth in their own lives and impact the world around them.
