5 Burpees performed on the light pole on the left side and 10 Burpees on the right side light pole.
The mode of transportation would change for each movement:
Run/Nur, Bear Crawl/Crawl Bear, Wounded Dog (terrible & humbling) x 2, Alligator Crawl.

Mosey to the top of the hill and Switzer
You had to be there for the message.
Jog down to the bottom of the hill for instructions.
Sprint your tail off to the top, jog down, perform 10 merkins and do an exercise while you wait.
Repeat.
Follow instructions for sprint/job, walk instructions to the top.
To the field again.
20 V-Ups, 20 American Hammers

NMM: From Dark Helmet:
Here's what I will tell you, no one was a huge fan of the wounded dogs but the hill sprints on TCD Hill were the real crowd pleaser…total shutdown of mumblechatter and several bodily functions. We were also treated to a number of PAX sightings as we went. I recall Shady, Pauly D, Tesh and Spike making a pass through. They looked miserable. That's good training for BRR, which is at least 72% misery. The rest is a loose emulsion of running and fellowship.

MARY: Worked in throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres family cookout June 21 at 5:30pm at The Print Shop.
Step up and serve at The Bethel Men's Shelter.
COT: There are a lot of things going well, but there are a lot of challenges around The Fort. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Reach out to a man and share burdens. As has been said before: A burden shared is half the burden, a joy shared is twice the joy.

Hot Potato Audible

Leave a comment

Since the guys who wanted to have Murph Mondays didn't show and 3/4th of us can't do pull-ups, we called an audible and did a hot potato Q.
WARMUP: 4 mile run
THE THANG: We all got a cindy or ruck with more weight in it and we each called an exercise. To the best of my uncaffinated and de-oxygenated brain, here is what we did. The counts varied between 15 and 40 for each, but most were 20 or 25

  • OH Press x2
  • Curls x2
  • Plank – 90 seconds
  • Chest Press x2
  • Flutters holding Cindy/Ruck
  • LBCs
  • Big Boys
  • Log Carry (for future reference, put the tall guy in the back not the front)
  • Bent Over Rows
  • Goblet Squats
  • Block Hold with arms out 10 count each pax
  • SSH
  • Merkins

MARY: American Hammers and stretching.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Great work at Bethel and the Convergence. Read your newsletter.
COT: Round Robin Prays and Praise.

Gam Guillotine Redux

Leave a comment

This BB is going to be easy, at least for the workout part. In honor of the 10th anniversary of my first F3 workout – 6/29/2016 at Pantheon with Jekyll on Q – I decided to recreate his Q nearly verbatim. I was able to find his original back blast. This is yet ANOTHER reason to do these things!!
WARMUP:
Mosey around the lower parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 WM
  • 15 IW
  • 20 MNC
  • 10 strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the top of the hill on the roadway next to the USMC JROTC building.
THE THANG:
Gam Guillotine
Start at the top of the hill.
Round 1
5 squats, run to stop sign at bottom, then do 5 jump squats. 1 round is up and back. Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back up at the top.
Lungewalked 1/2 way down, crabwalk 1/2 way down. NUR back up the hill to start.
Round 2
5 lunges each leg, then run down to bottom, then 5 Mary Catherines each leg (or 5 jump squats each leg). Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back at the top of the hill.
Round 3
Jack webbs. 1 Merkin, then 4 overhead claps. 10 rounds total, to where we did 10 merkins, 40 OH claps last round.
Back to COT.
>> It was just as horrible today as it was 10 years ago, and it hurt ALOT back then. Back then we ran 'the camelback' portion of the path to heart attack hill in Tega Cay, a short section less than 1/10th a mile but had 12-15% grade. I remember almost passing out on round 8 of the hill. This time we had only 5-7% grade and it was still nasty.
MARY:
We got back to COT with enough time to knock out 20 flutters (2 ct), that's it. Time's up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter, get involved. If you do not see something in the newsletter or hear in the COTs that you want to push, then push it, lead it. Invigorate your male community leadership.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Welcome back Tang!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
Blessings and SYITG,

Murph Monday — 22JUN2026

Leave a comment

14 on the EASTSIDE got Murph all over them at The Badger of Fire…

QIC: YHC

Pax: @U090MEQJQBW , @U5DKASDQU , @U19FA0Q8Z , @U5DLC6D7X , @U01E9QD5QQK , @U05K5D10AG6 , @UN6PTD007 , @U0106CCEJ6L , @U08N6B7B3EF , @U01JUGK82TY , Eggo , @U014K6EAUFM , @U087NCUTMPT

The Thang: The Murph… cuz it’s Monday…

NMM: If sweat was dollar bills, @U014K6EAUFM could stop stripping. @U090MEQJQBW admitted that the only part he liked was the mile runs, but relented that doing a pull-up or pushup now and again probably wouldn't kill him or his T-Count. Strange how he looked straight at @U5DKASDQU when he said that, but hey… I’m not here to judge. We just about have @U05K5D10AG6 convinced to activate the FSD on his Tesla so he can nap on the way home from these things. @U08N6B7B3EF came back to the gloom with his terrible foot, and he was swinging (a kettlebell) like the Baxter King of Pineapples instead of running. I tried to get the name-o-rama done OYO, but I couldn't get anyone's age right. @U0106CCEJ6L wants me to get a job at Carowinds so he can come win giant stuffed animals due to my inability to guess ages or weights (which will be my trick for next week).

All in all, a fabulous morning. It's good to choose the harder way. It's usually the right answer.

The Loredo

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 20 SSH, 20, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccan Nightclubs (or some version of that)
THE THANG:
The Thang
We put our own spin on Loredo, kicking things off with the run:
6 Rounds for Time

  • 🏃 400-meter Run
  • 🦵 24 Squats
  • 💪 24 Merkins
  • 🚶 24 Walking Lunges

The prescribed 24 reps represent the 24th day of June, the day Staff Sgt. Loredo made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every PAX pushed through, encouraged one another, and crossed the finish line. The pace varied, but the effort did not. Everyone finished on their own time, proving once again that in F3, it’s not about being first—it’s about refusing to quit.
Not satisfied with just one beatdown, we followed it up with some 11s:

  • 📍 Sideline to sideline
  • Big Boys
  • Monkey Humpers
