COT: F3’s regular beatdowns challenge the PAX, and the PAX like challenges. The F3 HIM openly and willingly invites pain and suffering into his life because he knows adversity is the crucible for an F3 HIM, and adversity can be a powerful force for transformation. Dedicated strength training can be an important part of this journey.

Today’s beatdown was borrowed from a set list that YHC uses in his own driveway at home on Saturdays and/or Sundays. These driveway workouts are held in the light of day. And yes, YHC’s neighbors think this is crazy.

So, naturally, YHC was called to share this driveway beatdown with fellow PAX!

An AO dedicated to moving weight can help the F3 HIM become more well-rounded in his lifelong fitness journey.

thedriveway should be viewed as another opportunity, among many amazing F3 opportunities, for the F3 HIM to accelerate.

SYITG!
