ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Boneathon-start training. Anyone interested in rucking the 26.2? YHC would like to try, possibly starting at midnight.

YHC will Q a #driveway extra credit workout for 6 Fridays in a row, mid October-mid November. We will repeat the same workout each Friday, increasing the level of difficulty each time (rep count, not weight). It will be a more conventional strength progression. Exact dates forthcoming. Hope to SYITG!

COT:

A low tech, high concept approach to exercise can be very powerful. E.g., manipulating leverage can harness the merkin for true strength gains. So, to progress there is no need to reinvent the wheel. Just explore high concept tweaks of the core exercises.

As American as F3 is and how very proud that we are Freed to Lead, our freedom of speech doesn’t come for free. This democracy that we live in doesn’t come for free. If we want to keep it, we have to do our job, participate. Just like F3, we are all Freed to Lead. Taking the Q is part of that freedom, no training led by non professionals.
