The Brickyard at ROF

Arrived early to walk around and stretch a little before the workout. A few minutes after arriving another young man showed up. Didn't recognize him so introduced myself and we started talking. Did not know this was Cash's son until Double D showed up and let us know. What an honor to lead the workout of Cash's son's first F3 workout at the AO named after his dad. Another special moment brought to you by F3.

WARMUP: Moseyed throughout the COT parking lot while conducting various exercises. Since we had an FNG we managed to review our mission statement and 5 core principals during warmups. Now, time to get to work so I walked the PAX over to my vehicle, hit the lift gate, and asked the PAX to grab 2 bricks. Then we moseyed to the field carrying our burdens.

THE THANG:
Running with bricks:
BrickYard 400
Lap 1 – Run Straight Aways, NUR Curves, 10 BombJacks in the middle of each curve
Lap 2 – Run Lap while stopping in the middle of each curve to complete 10 Burpees
Lap 3 – Repeat of Lap 1
Lap 4 – Repeat of Lap 2

Next we introduced the FNG to a Jack Webb:
Jack Webb w/ Bricks
Ratio of 1:4 of 2 exercises, continue until rep count reaches 10:40
2 exercises were Merkins : OH Claps

To close it out we moseyed to COT to work on our Superman poses:
Superman Routine w/ Bricks– 4 different arm/leg positions held for 10 seconds per position – x2

MARY: No time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your NL

COT: Normally I do not write a lot in BBs in this section but felt led to share a little from this morning's group. Our FNG was asked why he came out to an F3 workout. Fitness was mentioned as he is preparing to attend the Citadel. He then started talking about Cash and how he remembered his dad telling him over and over what a great group of men were in F3 and the positive impacts F3 had on his life. These conversations – seeds – grew until his curiosity peaked and he had to see and experience for himself what was so inspirational to his dad. Hit home this is something we need to absolutely give away! Give it away in our homes, in our extended family, to our friends, to our communities! Keep pursuing other men to join F3, keep planting those seeds. You never know when one of those seeds will take hold and start to grow, and the seed you plant might just impact those closest to you, like a son. Love ya fellas and pray yall have a blessed day.

  • OH Press x2
  • Curls x2
  • Plank – 90 seconds
  • Chest Press x2
  • Flutters holding Cindy/Ruck

Murph Monday — 22JUN2026

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.

Zombified Q @ ROF

Coming back from a road trip late at night I managed approx 3 1/2 hours of sleep and found myself contemplating a 'no show' for my Q at ROF @ 4:30 in da morning. I recently had the honor of participating in our Greater Than CSAUP overnight ruck event. That is what pushed me past the selfishness of wanting to choose comfort over commitment, brotherhood. If I could endure that event with no sleep, then I can Q a 45min workout on 3 1/2 hours of sleep! I'm grateful to be surrounded by men who push me to be greater than! Feet hit the floor, water splashed on the face, a little caffeine and it was GO time!

WARMUP: Usual suspects

THE THANG:
Moseyed to the benches on the side entrance of NAFO, Asked PAX to find a spot on a bench.
#1 – 2 exercises: Step Ups & BulgarianSplitSquats
15 reps each leg of both exercises
10 reps each leg of both exercises
5 reps each leg of both exercises

Upon completion asked PAX to partner up for some Time Under Tension
Partner#1 holds Al Gore while Partner#2 completes 10 jump squats. FlapJack until you complete an accumulative rep count of 100 jump squats. Legs were burning by this point.

Moseyed to the pullup bars while picking up a Cindy along the way.
#2 – 2 Exercises: Pullups & ManMakers
Perform both exercises in the following sequence:
1 pull-up, 2 manmakers, 3 pullups, 4 manmakers, etc…
Continue till you reach the count of 10 and then reverse
count back down to 1. Will add up to 50 reps of each
exercise. PAX who finished 1st ended the pain for the
rest of the suffering souls.

Walked over to the hill with Cindy for a little Quadzilla w/ some core work.
#3 – This was done OYO. Run down the hill to the stop sign,
NUR back up to the top of the hill. Grab Cindy and
complete 15 BBSw/Cindy. Rinse&Repeat. We managed
to get in the minimum requirement of 4 rounds to quality
as a Quadzilla routine.

Took Cindy back home and moseyed to COT.

MARY: No Time Left On The Clock

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your NL

COT: STK!!!
