Strong work out there guys!  With a small group there is no where to hide and today you really impressed me with the over-all effort!  I think it’s time though for us to pitch in and get Double Trouble a Ruck; #bigmanisready!

Today taught us a lot about teamwork.  We were forced to move as a team, which is something that rarely happens at workouts.  Usually, it’s man vs. man and everyone is trying to get ahead of the person next to them (sometimes, if not always, to the determent of the proper form).  If all the time we are thinking of our own personal performance and not looking to the guy next to us, then we might need to step back and think about what all this is about.  It’s not an individual event, but a group of like-minded, highly motivated guys that love the fellowship F3 brings and working out together. Today at SPEARHEAD we tried our best to completely embody the essence of helping your brothers out.  Sometimes It means slowing up your pace or changing how you are performing the exercise so the team can stay together.  One Goal, One Purpose, One Team.

As always, it is an honor to train with such great people.

Respectfully,

The Hoff
