Murph Gauntlet

YHC arrived at The Bee Hive at 6:15am to a glorious sunrise and perfect 55 degree temperature to lay the ground work for today’s beatdown.  A series of cones and coupons were strategically placed throughout the Bee Hive for want would follow.

  1. Cones and  Coupons – placed forty yards apart on un-even grass surface across from pavilion.
  2. Every 0.10 of mile a cone was placed around the inside driveway and street to make a 0.50 mile loop.

Special thanks to Flame for delivering 10 Paver coupons each weighing 23 lbs.

Today’s workout was designed with the Murph and Spartan Races in mind.

Partner Up.  P1 is doing a Murph Set while P2 is doing a 40 yard shuttle run or coupon carry 4 times.

Murph Set Includes:

10 – Pull-ups

20 – Merkins

30 – Air Squats

In order to complete a full Murph you need 100 pull-ups, 200 Merkins, and 300 Air Squats.  So that means we do 10 sets.  Fortunately, or unfortunately this is only a 1 hour workout so we only completed 6 complete sets.

Praise for the Mothers this weekend.  YHC had a great trip to Hershey with the Mrs.  Praying for Lucky Punk as competes in National Fitness Competition, Special Prayers for Heavy Load and men like Dr. Seuss who make the time to stand beside another brother struggling.  Praise God for F3 and each of our attempts to get better, be the light into the world, and live 3rd.
