It is the mission of F3 to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Five core principles: free, open to all men, held outdoors, led in rotation, ends with circle of trust.
Introduction and disclaimer. Surprise – I am still not a professional. Shamelessly modify.
No FNGs…yet!
Started under 25, so we set-out as one for a savage, merciless, unforgiving beatdown. Let’s boogie!
PAX ran south down the west side of the main stairs and looped around to the western open field for
WARM-A-RAMA. Moments after touching grass, mumble-chatter erupted: wet shoes!

As is the fashion at Futurama, teams accelerated through every exercise with laughs and smiles. Leadership was shared, and the six was picked-up. During our first round, we noticed Hipster (Respect!) grinding OYO at the main stairs, so we EH’d him (#HIM) into today’s beatdown. PAX endured two full rounds of THE THANG before OMAHA. Moseyed back to the Shovel Flags. We ain’t done yet!

COT
Nice work, folks!
Name-O-Rama. FNGs. Announcements. Prayers.
Strengthening our ability to be more kind, thoughtful, gentle and loving is what HIM are doing every day in the gloom. We mask our beatdowns as physical workouts, but the mental reps – “accelerating”, “locking shields” and “picking up the six” – are what lead us to our most impactful results.
At F3, you become your best self so that you can become selfless for others.
Thank you, Sky Q!

Aye,
