Introduction
March 27 is F3 Mental Battle day and March is Mental Battle Month. Come help YHC finish up the month strong. There are two versions to this workout so why not do both! Join me at The Complex for Part 2. No coupons needed. HC in the thread. NO OYO!!
The Scene: High 20’s YHC was running late. Woke up at 4am, thought I got outta bed but instead must have time jumped to 4:40am. Of course, being CE, I pulled into the parking spot at 5:15am. Gave the welcome an disclaimer as I was getting the speaker out of the car and locking up. Just in time!
Welcome & Disclaimer
F3 has 5 core principles: 1. Free 2. Open to ALL men 3. Peer led in a rotating fashion 4. Held outdoors rain or shine, heat or cold 5. Ends in a Circle of Trust
I am not a professional. You are here of your own free will. I have no knowledge of any injuries or fitness considerations. It is your responsibility to be safe and modify exercises as needed.
In cadence (IC) is the rhythm in between each rep or the body movement between each rep.
Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Each set will have stats about mental health and workplace mental health. The workout will be in the form of a Dora 1-2-3. As you are working with a partner (No OYO), each stat is doubled. After all three sets are complete, if you have time repeat sets until time is up.

A few things to leave you with:
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in America. And I would add that is the number one most preventable one.
22 veterans commit suicide EVERY DAY.
Comparison is the thief of joy.

During the workout, we shared some of our own mental battles with each other.
During the COT, I talked about a lot of different things but I focused on our 2.0’s. Talk to them. Be that safe place they can turn to especially when they reach pre-teen and teenage years.
Then it was time to jet over to The Complex for Q numero dos.
Peace,
