A man can pay to work out. He will build his strength and contribute to the success of his gym. 

Or

A man can work out for free with F3. He will build his strength and contribute to his community and the strengthening of other men.

@F3IronPax @F3VHS It’s been a journey, my dudes ❤️

I’ve been asking myself whether or not I want to get back into tweeting. I’ve got so much to say but Twitter feels like a lot of overthinking and not a lot of real life impact.

Either way, it’s nice to be missed! Thanks for the tag 👊🏻

When your neighbors go all out with Christmas lights but you just haven’t got the time.

A lesson from surfing (and potentially a corny poster in an office somewhere):

You’ll miss 100% of the waves you don’t paddle into.

@AlexStLouis10 @HorizonWorlds Ah well I can’t speak to that. I’ve had it since it was in beta so I only know I’ll lose support in January

@AlexStLouis10 @HorizonWorlds It supports quest 1 until mid January

The mission of F3 is to Plant Grow and Serve mens ( small) workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership….the true fellowship and relationships happen in small groups

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

@F3_TRUEbadours It’s always challenging to accept that a large AO needs to break off into new ones, but it’s what keeps us close. And then there’s room to keep growing at the new AO’s.

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

@V00SE @F3Omaha Yep. Small workouts happen around here kind of randomly and it’s always a good time when it does.

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

Large numbers are a common metric to determine if an AO is successful. I think that’s valid.

But the four-man workout from this morning was successful in a different way. We got to know each other and connect in ways that large workouts don’t allow for.

Both ways have value.

@justin_rains25 @DreddCNC @trwhitmire_OBT @F3Waco Yes, love that connection. And then you see those guys out a bigger workout and you know you shared something

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

@roybrosdrywall Dude when people post the meme about what movie traumatized you as a kid, everyone’s like Jaws, Nightmare on Elm Street and I’m like Truman Show.

COT messages that provide encouragement or a challenge move the group forward.

COT messages that show vulnerability go even further.

The workout: bonding over shared pain

@F3_ItalianJob Sharing creativity can be risky. What if people think it’s lame? What if the idea gets shot down? What if I get consumed by a project and nobody appreciates it?

Your point is well-made; all of those things put the weight of success on the reactions of others.

@F3_ItalianJob Sometimes you can even ask, “Are you looking for a solution right now, or do you just want to talk about it?” The clarity helps avoid frustration.

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

@darkhelmetF3 Two awesome men right there!

[𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐈 | 𝐅𝟑 @atari_f3]

@Asbypirate @F3Niles @connolley_james He’s a super cool dude!
