Even if you don't want to compete, we would love to have a HUGE cheering section! Things are in the works for a big MURPH event this year. Plan to be here and get in on the action! Strength Monday- Clean Complex Tuesday- Snatch Complex Wednesday- Jerk Thursday- Friday-Front Squat Workouts Our theme this week is Lord of the Rings #### **Monday:** **Rowing & Strength Work** - **Workout:** 5 sets of 500m/450m rowing with 1-minute rest, followed by two strength sets of deadlifts and strict handstand push-ups. - **Strategy:** Maintain a consistent rowing pace to stay under the 2-minute cap while keeping energy reserves for strength work. For deadlifts, use controlled reps and avoid burning out early. Scale handstand push-ups if needed (pike push-ups or seated dumbbell presses). - **Tip:** Focus on bracing your core for deadlifts and efficient breathing during the row. #### **Tuesday:** **Grip & Engine Burner** - **Workout:** 3 sets of toes-to-bar and burpee box jump overs with a 1:1 rest. - **Strategy:** Break toes-to-bar early (e.g., 5-5 or 6-4) to avoid grip fatigue. Pace the burpee box jumps—stay smooth rather than sprinting. - **Tip:** Use a controlled kip for toes-to-bar and step down from the box to conserve energy. #### **Wednesday:** **EMOM Conditioning** - **Workout:** Three 6-minute EMOM blocks with wall balls, bike/row/run, double unders, and dumbbell snatches. - **Strategy:** Aim to finish each movement in 30 seconds to allow for a brief recovery. Scale reps if necessary to maintain intensity. - **Tip:** Keep breathing steady and controlled, especially in transitions. Use efficient movement mechanics to stay consistent. #### **Thursday:** **Zone 2 Recovery & Handstand Practice** - **Workout:** 5-minute steady-state row with handstand walk practice every 5 minutes. - **Strategy:** Stay in an easy, conversational pace on the rower (around 60-70% effort). For handstand practice, focus on controlled movement rather than speed. - **Tip:** Engage shoulders and keep hips stacked for better balance in the handstand. #### **Friday:** **Leg & Core Endurance Challenge** - **Workout:** A descending ladder of running, dumbbell squats, and toes-to-bar. - **Strategy:** Pace the runs to recover for the squats. Break up toes-to-bar early (sets of 5-10). Squats should be unbroken or minimal breaks. - **Tip:** Keep an upright torso during squats and breathe steadily during the runs. Smooth transitions will save time. We cannot wait to see everyone in the gym! #herewego
