Sorry if covered in another thread but what CDs were in heavy rotation in your high school weight room?

We had:
CCR - Chronicle
AC/DC- ball breaker and Back in Black mostly
GnR - not sure what album
Steve Miller Band
Cinderella - Long Cold Winter

I'm sure there were more but I just remember Papa Roach on repeat

I’ll never understand those rotator-cuff-ups or whatever they call them.

don't talk bad about kipping pullups. you will trigger us cf'ers. we take our pullups very personally.

other cf'ers: what movement / exercise destroys you?

me: thrusters - they break me mentally and physically every time.

honestly depends on the day/workout but I feel like thrusters are pretty bad for everyone. there's not a great way to rest and it is somehow always surprising how exhausted they make me. They're a lot harder than they seem like they should be.

I'm really bad/slow at pushups because I have long skinny arms and could lose some weight. but they don't kill me because my arms just stop working before I get my heart rate up.

the other day we did a workout that included two sets of 20x 45DBOH/53KBFR lunges and those rough ridin' destroyed me

I'm terrible at pushups. I would like to do Murph this year but no matter how I break it up I will end up doing 1/2 pushup at a time by the end.

I do it a couple times a year. The runs are what get me. My cardio is Peloton cardio, which translates to zilch for running. The last mile is brutal after all those squats.

we did cindy yesterday.... which makes me remember how much murph is going to blow

[michigancat]

My gym is doing Murph Saturday. Should I skip? I feel like I should skip.

definitely don't skip.. if nothing else find someone else that only wants to do half and partner up with them. I did that one year. 1 mile run 50 pullups 100 pushups 150 air squats mile run or do it by yourself that way.

They did say there would be a partner option (we usually do long as partner workouts on Saturdays)

Agree, just give it a go and try to finish half or whatever your goal is. Feels great to finish. I remember the first time I did it. I just decided that I was going to do it one day and did it over my lunch hour. I really over estimated my fitness level at the time and was bent for a few days after. I do a crap ton of pushups and pull-ups every week, but the running and the 300 squats beat me up pretty good. I break it down like this. 1m run, haul ass to basement and start doing sets of 5 Pulls, 10 push, and 15 squats over and over with as little rest as possible in between for 20 sets, then haul ass outside for the last mile. Almost every time i've done it, i've had a panic attack about miscounting the sets.

we did cindy yesterday.... which makes me remember how much murph is going to blow

Our gym has been on a big Murph preparation kick. I tried breaking Cindy into 10 rounds last week. I made it through 8 1/2 rounds and quit. My shoulder is still angry with me this week. I'm not going to attempt the Murph this year. I've got to get better at doing pushups when I'm really tired.

20 min amrap 5 pullups, 10 pushups, 15 airsquats. so basically murph without the runs if you can do a round a minute

[mocat]

there is a thread for crypto workouts you dorks

[tdaver]

non CFer here.  Never heard of Murph before.  Do you do that all in order (i.e. must complete all pull-ups before starting pushups, etc.) or mix it up however?

I’ve unknowingly been doing a distance runner’s lite-Murph... 1 mile, 10/10/10 pull/push/squat, repeat 4-5 times.

I think "officially" you are supposed to do them in order, and with a weighted vest. I'm not CrossFit broseph so maybe someone can say for sure. I've always split it up, but it would be interesting to try to do it in order. I think I would be slower, but not sure. 100 pull-ups is quite a bit and i'm sure I would burn out.

Nice. I do "nickel and dimes" all the time. 5 pulls, 10 pushes on the minute for 15 or 20 minutes. Got that from David Goggins.

I did Murph with ring rows and no vest. Split 20 rounds of 5 pushups, 5 ring rows, 5 pushups, 15 air squats. Did it in 49 minutes and it wasn't that bad honestly, mostly because I don't do proper pushups the whole time.

41:30 w/o vest. split sets into 20 rounds 5/10/15. Feel lethargic today

man.. I would guess a minute 10 to a minute 15. Pushups are honestly always the worst part of that workout for me.

[yoga-like_abana]

few buddies and I are going to do the soft 75 day challenge with our own spin


Eat a little better only eat out once a week
Do one 45–60-minute workout every day. A "workout" can be a simple walk, for active recovery.
Drink at least three liters of water each day.
Read for 15 minutes a day
Drink(booze) only socially
Each of us putting in a $100 and if we fail divvy it up and if we all fail the moolah goes towards new gym equipment.

That’s an awesome idea.
