Think about some of the best times in your life. How many of them came because of a change that stretched you, that challenged you? Coming to F3 was one of those things that set YHC on a course for health and wholeness. Is F3 easy? No, but that is the point. The best things in life aren’t easy. There are growing pains. There are bumps in the road. Is it worth it? Can I get an Amen?
When Carpenter challenged YHC to come out to F3 a year and several months ago, YHC knew he needed it being several pounds overweight (ok more than several) and lacking energy and not having a whole lot of direction. 530? Are you serious? In the morning? YHC went for it and has never looked back.
So, this morning was all about stretching the PAX, trying new things, new exercises — realizing that we aren’t there yet and we can be so much better. Some of the exercises this morning were a challenge to the PAX and YHC as well. Some we could only do about 5. And that is just fine. Baby steps lead to better things — greater growth and the ability to realize that there is so much further for us to progress.
Glad for the brothers in F3 and the bond we share through shared experience and growing together.
TClaps to Spit who showed up during the middle of the run and did COP with us!
Later,
Opus

Dang Spit! You ran with a KB?
Well said, Opus. Way to expand.
Great BB Opus!! Def goes down as BB of the week in my book! Great to see you fellas this morning!
LabRat no I did not run with a KB. I ran the 1.5 miles to the AO did the COP w/o a KB, then ran another 3 to 4 miles afterwards.
Great BB Opus, want to see demos of some of those listed above.
Spit- Not sure if what you did should count as pax, might need a Big Data ruling. Sounds like a drive by to me.
Amen brother!
I go to this website a lot to look for new ideas and to see really awesome form. Those straight arm sit ups are no joke. https://kettlebellsworkouts.com/kettlebell-exercises/
Thanks for stopping by! Was great to see you for the COP!
Wasn’t looking for it to and as of right now I didn’t get the credit since my name is listed differently which is fine by me.
Love that website!
Great workout OPUS, the new stuff was fantastic!
