  • Murph Training Week 3 – from Triple Shift

    Started off with a warmup and then did 3/6/9/12 (pullups, merkins, squats, and lbc) in 2 min intervals and went up to 7/14/21/28 for round 1. From there we did a mosey around the parking lot then did 3/6/9/12 (pullups, merkins, squats, and leg lifts) in 2 min intervals and went up to 6/12/18/24. From there we did a modified Quadrafilia. Run backwards up the levee and then run back down for 5 burpees x 4. Finished off with with a countoff, namerama, COT, and a very beautiful sunrise!

  • H8 wet feet – from Hokie

    YHC is known for his dislike of wet feet so there was some concern after last night’s rain as to whether I would continue Murph training at The House of Pain or opt to plan B.

    As I arrived, Backed Up was excited for Murph Training and announced he brought a heavy duty band to aide in pull ups. Well, out with my Plan B and we started our saunter over to the House of Pain with phone lights aiding in our attempt to keep our feet dry.

    After an explanation of The Murph, and Murph training, we took care of the disclaimer and welcome and started our warm up with SSH, high knees and arm circles.

    We then started with 2 minutes to complete 3 pull ups, 6 hand release merkins and 9 squats and then rest for the remaining time.

    Then onto more 2 minutes rounds for 4-8-12; 5-10-15; 6-12-18; 7-14-21 and finally 8-16-24

    We then took time to recover by introducing Pax to additional preparation with Bolt 45 and 1 minute of speed humpers

    Next 2 minutes was set to just complete 8 pull ups and 16 hand release merkins

    Another two rounds of Bolt 45, speed humpers and 8-16 with 1 minute low slow squats between sets

    For our final stint in The House of Pain, 3 Pax would hang for 1 minute while the remaining Pax did an exercise… 1st group, hand release Merkins for “non-hangers”; 2nd group- squats; and 3rd group – burpees.

    We then moseyed to the H8 hill because part of The Murph is running. We would run the H8 route of up the hill; Bear crawl across, run down, across & up; bear crawl across; run down and across to complete figure 8.

    YHC has decided Murph training will now be 5-10-15 rinse and repeat to 60 pull ups, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90 over the next few weeks

  • Best Warm Up Ever … words not heard – from Hokie

    YHC arrived at El Diablo and at 0529 gave a disclaimer including we would push ourselves but not hurt ourselves.

    We moseyed to the football field and Rudy was kind enough to get his speaker and 311 playlist.

    Today’s Tabata Style workout would have a leg portion, then shoulder portion and would close with an ab portion.

    YHC “claimed” the leg portion would serve as a warm up. Fast Tax, Boo Boo and Rudy mumbled and chattered indicating they did not agree.

    Each portion would have 7 exercises with 45 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest. We would do each portion twice through. 14 minutes per portion.
