This is an attempt to keep me from program hopping and to make me hopefully more consistent.
The Murph workout is supposed to be done on Memorial Day, and since 90% of my training is at home with body weight anyway I figured I may as well try a month of prep for it, while logging my workouts on here.
Weekends off. The Monday and Wednesday workouts would go up in volume each week by five rounds respectively, and the third week might look slightly different as a mini de-load to the actual Murph
Great plan. Theres a super-human on these forums who ran a full Murph every day FOR 30 DAYS, @kleinhound may have some tips or at least inspiration for you!
If you find his log and scroll back to last year you’ll see it.
Have you done a murph, however painful and slow, just to get a baseline before this prep program?
This was an impromptu workout with a friend, so we’ll call it a “pullup strength day” lol
Workout
Deadlift, 3x5, 1x3
Lat pulldown 2x10, 1x drop set with static hold at the end for complete torture
Dumbbell rows 2x6
Bicep curls, 21s (7 top half reps, 7 bottom half reps, 7 full reps)
Next week I’m gonna do my best to get in two of the circuit workouts, one of them being weighted, and then the rest of the training will be running 2 miles
I can, it’s less about me being able to and more about me just forgetting or being lazy lol. I guess for background I should say that I just graduated high school and am in good shape strength wise, and used to be in really good shape running wise. Ik I can complete the Murph but my goal is now to be able to do the Murph without stopping for big breaks or dying in the last mile.
Aight well, went and did some martial arts and got unlucky with a knee strike so now I’ll be riding a bike for a few days rather than running haha.
My left knee got hit with the other guys knee and was just a weird incident, it’s nothing serious but I’m playing it safe. One thing writing this log has made me see more clearly is that my training plans pretty much always turn into more of a general idea rather than a strict regime. So a note for the future, schedule 3-4 training days rather than 6 that way I can take an off day when needed or move stuff around to fit it in
EMOM:
15 squats + 20 secs of whatever KB movement I could think of
20 minutes total
(It started out as just squats but 5 minutes in I was bored and knew I should do more so I threw the KB in, I have no clue what kind of exercise scheme that is but oh well haha it worked)
