CrossFit Sudbury – Training – 01102015

Hey Folks!

Happy Murph Day!  It promises to be a fun one – at least afterwards.  It truly is a great workout to push outside of those comfort zones.  Make sure you budget enough time for it in case you’ve got places to be.  This workout usually takes me ~50 minutes.  So either scale or budget your time appropriately please.

I’m a stickler when it comes to the push ups – I feel like if you can’t do it well then it isn’t worth doing, though for times sake, we will accept a 10% sag rate in your torso hahaha.  MORE importantly, if you feel your midline sagging, take a break for 5-10 seconds and then continue.  Break the push ups up into smaller sets and use the air squats as rest.

For the more competitive folks that have the time and really want to challenge themselves.  Try doing it as “Iron Murph” i.e. in order.  All 100 pull ups before you move on to the 200 push ups, etc.  I can’t say I’ve tried it that way because I feel like 200 push ups would take me all day long.  For most (if not all) of us, I’d suggest finding a strategy that optimizes your time doing work AKA power output.  Spending time standing around isn’t helping anyone get fitter.  So yeah :)

Some epic videos to get you pumped up…
