We’re either getting better, or We’re getting worse

  • When: 01/20/2022
  • QIC: GNC
  • The PAX: Wasted, Allstate, Mulligan, Buttercup, 3-peat(RR), Sofa, Inside Out (R), Outhouse (R), Jumanji

In the final days leading up to the Kraken, we had 10 PAX report to Badlands on a Frigid Thursday Morning ITG. The message for today was inspired by A true American Badass, David Goggins. We’re either getting Better, or We’re getting worse…. in every area of our lives.

F3 is about invigorating men to become better physically, emotionally, relationally, and Spiritually. If we aren’t consistently growing in those categories, then we’re losing ground. Goggins has excelled in self-mastery by living out the 40% rule. “When your mind and body are telling you that you’re done, that you’re exhausted, that you can not possibly go on any further… you’re only actually 40% done.”

PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF VS. WHAT WE THINK IS POSSIBLE:

380 REPS WITH A 35LB CINDER BLOCK IS THE EQUIVALENT OF EACH PAX MOVING 13,300 POUNDS THIS MORNING IN LESS THAN 45 MINUTES TIME.

WITH 10 PAX, THAT’S 133,000 LBS OR 665 TONS OF CINDER BLOCK THAT WE MOVED AS A UNIT.

PRETTY FRICKIN AWESOME WHEN YOU SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT’S ACTUALLY POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THAT’S ONLY ABOUT 40% OF OUR POTENTIAL.
