CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Three years ago Dec. 2, 2017 A-Rod took a chance to start a new AO for F3Knoxville in Powell, TN. In that COT, he stated that as men we were not designed to operate alone. We need a community and to work together. Three years later, the Brickyard AO is still here and we have come together. We have added and lost men over the years, but we are not the same as we were the first day we stepped out. Part of the ideal of F3 is Iron sharpening iron. At the Brickyard, we may not speak in the most politically correct ways but we push and help one another to be better. I know that I am a better man for coming in the gloom and being shoulder to shoulder with these PAX. A-Rod had a prior commitment today (rucking long distance with 60lbs) so he asked if I would share his words as well:

Three years ago I started this AO and knew only one FNG was going to show up. I knew other F3 men were coming from other AOs to support me, but didn’t know if there would be any turnout. I was pleasantly surprised! Not all who helped start Brickyard are still participants, but we have a very strong group that show up and that encourage each other. Thank you for making F3 Brickyard the fun and challenging AO that it has become. Thank you for supporting me and now Herbie as we lead you. Continue to make this AO great by volunteering to lead and bring others out with you.
Brickyard was made by a normal (barely athletic) guy so that other men could find friendship and better themselves physically. It has worked but only because of your involvement. I look forward to steering our way through 2021 as a group and supporting each other through the coming challenges of the year.
Thanks again for your commitment!
Strength and Honor
A-Rod

Assemble at the nearest corner. The four corners of the combined parking lots where the cars are and the shovel flag were used for our four workout stations. Spread out as needed between two corners and start the work: 10 4 x 4’s.

Mosey to JUCOmanjaro. We used the white marks as stopping points for exercises. The following exercises were performed at the stops, one per stop. Repeat list to the top.

  • 20 Merkins (2nd stop)
  • 20 squats (3rd stop)

At the top, do another round of the exercises until the 6 gets in. Mosey back down stopping at various places on the way down. We did 10 burpees and 20 diamond merkins. On to the shovel flag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I would venture to guess that most of the PAX attend worship services at a local church on at least a semi-regular basis. How many of that same group study the Bible daily on their own? How many serve others regularly? How many teach others the Word of God?

My M and I have had discussions in the past about the danger of outsourcing our faith. Do we rely on the leadership of the church to perform all the work? Do we rely on them to do all of the Bible studying? What about serving those in need? Unfortunately, YHC fully admits to this happening a lot in our house. I don’t spend time in the Word as I should and I don’t serve God the way I should around the community.

This is something that I am working on. If you have the same struggle, I encourage you to work on it and reach out for help. Help those around you to be accountable as well.
MOLESKIN:
Had to audible the workout. When we finished the 4×4’s, we were supposed to repeat the four corners with Prison Cell Merkin Burpees, but YHC quickly realized that we would not even close to have the time for them. My gift to all of the JUCO PAX today.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I wanted to thank everyone in F3 for leading as great examples of what men should be. I grew up without a father figure in the house, so becoming a father myself was something I thought I’d always go into blind and figure out along the way. Being apart of this group for a few years before fatherhood was extremely helpful to me, and I’m sure it’ll be helpful to many others in similar situations. #ISI
