1) in teams of 3 – backrack position carry 95# barbell and 2 kettle bells as we complete 5 alive – merkins, squats (many used Kb and barbell), shoulder taps, lunges (some used barbell and KB), merkins. This worked well.
2) barbell carry around the track while one partner does 5 burpees and taps out and the 3rd does 5 burpees and carries the KB’s. This was a bit of a mess. 3) Mary
Moleskine:
Don’t make fun of your wife or the people you are close to (in particular). Sarcasm and teasing can wound and humiliate.

Moleskine:
With Thanksgiving this week, it’s a good time to take inventory. Be thankful for:
– Families who love us.
– Bodies that still let us show up at 5AM.
– F3 brothers who push us, and make us better.
Life’s pretty good when you zoom out a bit.
And when Thursday hits, be present. Put the phone down. Don’t think about work. Don’t think about next week’s beatdown. Just be there. Fully.
Your family doesn’t need perfection, they just need you.
COT: Prayers for new jobs + ongoing job hunts. 1 minute of silence, set intentions for the day.
