Focus- Macro: Murph Prep- Expect to spend the month preparing for the Hero workout, Murph. You will see an increase in volume with movements like running, pull-ups, push-ups, and squats (not always together).- We will also test Cindy as a CAP benchmark.

- Dial in scaling options if needed and/or use the movements as a way to warm up for the Rx'd workout.- Both partners should perform the warm-up separately. Then, get together and talk strategy for the workout.- Athletes who plan on rowing the Rx'd calories should be able to complete at least 12/18 calories per minute.
For time with a partner:60 synchronized GHD sit-ups80/120 calories60 toes-to-bars56/80 calories60 synchronized strict knees-to-elbows42/60 calories- Use any machine for calories.
Stimulus & Goals- 20:00 or less.- Athlete's choice of machine for calories.- Partners' knees must touch their elbows at the same time for the synchronized reps to count.Strategy- Move through the synchronized movements only as fast as the slowest partner.- Push the pace on the machine. Remember, one partner works and the other rests on the calories and the toes-to-bars. Keep these sets fast and rotate if the set is slowing down.ModificationsGHD sit-ups | Reps, range of motion, AbMat sit-upsToes-to-bars | Reps, V-ups, lying toes-to-bars Strict knees-to-elbows | Reps, tuck-ups, lying knees-to-elbows
5 sets for completion:Sandbag carry (100 ft) (100/150 lb)10 heavy Russian kettlebell swings- Rest 1:00 between sets.
- This should feel like a mini workout that elevates the heart rate with relatively heavy loads to make moving quickly challenging.- Use a sandbag carry load that gets challenging by the end of the 100 feet, but can always be done unbroken.- Use a heavier-than-usual kettlebell load for the swings.- Swing the kettlebell to anywhere around shoulder height.
Every 3:00 for 5 rounds:50 double-undersHandstand walk (25 ft)- Rest the remainder of each round.- Score is the slowest round.
- Double-unders in 30-60 seconds. Use a heavy rope if you have the option.- Handstand walk in 1-3 attempts; scale if needed. - At least 1 minute of rest each round.- Begin each set of handstand walks with smaller steps. Once you get moving and build confidence, you can move more quickly and take bigger steps.- Relax your arms and upper body when you are performing the double-unders.ModificationsDouble-unders | Reps, single-undersHandstand walk | Handstand shoulder taps, pike handstand shoulder taps, plank shoulder taps from the knees
