Any of my crossfit people do Murph today?
If so how did you do and what strategy did you use?

I mod it from injuries. 2000m Row instead of runs, ring rows for pull ups, 10 rounds 10/20/30

Sorry I should have posted mine.
Did it straight through as written.

Squats destroyed me.1 -
Way to go! Several people did it that way and it looked terrible.
I'd love to rx it next year 1 -
I don't do CrossFit but my local British Military Fitness group threw a murph into a "hell week" we did at the start of the month. I only managed half the prescribed crunches (100 instead of 200) and I needed someone to keep yelling at me to get me through 100 hand-release push ups. I hate crunches, so very very much. I actually hate them more than burpees and I REALLY hate burpees!0

@phrobbert Murph with crunches and HRPU sounds rough!0 -

@Girl_With_Muscles_ yeah probably not. I've heard of people rowing 2000m instead of running the mile.0 -

300 squats, 200 crunches, 100 HRPU's and a mile run on each end. 0_o I finished pretty much dead last of the entire group although to be fair, after a while everybody's form went completely to s**t. After doing all those pushups and then charging off for that last mile run I felt like my goddamn arms were about to fall off.
That wasn't actually the hardest session of the week though. Later on we had to do 100 burpees, 100 HRPU's, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and probably something else I've forgotten due to trauma. Oh, and run up a REALLY BIG HILL and back between each set. You've seen the mansion used as Wayne Manor in The Dark Knight Rises? That's where we did it.
That was a great week though.1 -

Next year I'm probably going to try the vest.1 -

@phrobbert That's awesome, yeah I know that mansion you are talking about! Pretty cool!0 -

We're there (Wallaton Hall) 3 times a week. It's a great park.

Did it this morning: 44:45, we did 1 mile + 100 pull ups (I did ring rows) + 200 push ups + 300 squats + 1 mile. It was amazing and exhausting.2

@erinhollis Great job! It is exhausting for sure! I've been in slow motion ever since.1

Wow!
I have been tempted to try cross fit for the experience and to say I have tried it. So many people rave about it and those who do it are usually really fit. That session sounds insane though! No wonder cross fitters are ripped! Haha.0 -
Last year I did it Cindy style. It was awful and could only manage 11 rounds rx because my hands were ripped to shreds so I started scaling with banded pull-ups. Didn't even get through all 20 cindys because coaches wanted everyone to get Murph done in sub 60 so after 17 or 18 rounds, I was sent out to run. Fun stuff!!0

there are more beginner friendly workouts available.
Crossfit isn't something magical. It just combines HIIT style training with a mix of oly lifting and cardio style lifts- and actual cardio.
FFS- you can make up your own circuit if you want. Don't be fooled by the marketing campaign that is "crossfit"2 -
I've only been doing crossfit for 6 weeks and did murph yesterday but scaled it so did rowing instead of the th, 1600m then ring rows, press ups and squats and another row. Did it in 46m 20s and was so proud of myself. Today my arms hurt so much that I couldn't do my own bra up and struggled to get off the bed!!! Feels good though! Loving crossfit.3
-
Yeah this is not a beginner workout. It's fun in a weird sort of way.

52:20. I had to do band assisted pull-ups.1

"Marketing campaign"?
Coulda sworn you people always said it was a "cult"?0 -
I don't CF, I attend a free Saturday class tho. I did do the Murph yesterday at the box. I loved it!! I've never done a kipping pull-up, I did a few sets of straight (band assisted) arm pulls, I watched my friend kip and was able to get it down!! Those flew by once I figured it out!! It was such a high after. Can't wait to do the next one! Was so honored to finish, I don't know my time, it was less than an hour.2
-
Second time doing Murph. Ran 800m, 20 rounds of 5 jumping pullups, 10 box pushups, and 15 squats, then another 800m run. Did it in 41:11 this year. Last year only ran 400m each time and my time was 43:00. It's always an honor to do Murph!3

LOL! Gotta get back on that horse! Life is good after a crossfit workout@erinhollis Great job! It is exhausting for sure! I've been in slow motion ever since.0 -

cult- campaign- whatever floats your boat
(although- not my cult LMAO- I powerlift)3 -
Didn't run Murph this year because I now have to train on Mondays, but even then I've always had to scale to half Murph because of other nagging injuries. This year, I'm finally fully healthy and I stay on up on my mobility, but powerlifting comes first.
As a side note, anyone planning on attending the games in Madison in August? (I live 45 minutes east of Madison.) I volunteered for the event. I also passed the online judges course, so maybe I'll be out on the floor, if not my swag bag will be loaded.0 -
First time doing it...did it as prescribed minus the vest. 1 hr. and 9 minutes....running is my nemesis...the second mile took me over 11 minutes. Goal was under an hour but next year I will get it I think. Worst feeling was after 100 push-ups when I got a little bit of a high, then realized 100 more and I was down to 3-5 at a time. Great fun!0

Sooooooo weird that you posted this today. Out of a random spur of the moment thing, I decided to do it today instead of cardio. Never done any real crossfit program outside of just with friends when they invite me to train which makes it weirder.
Mile 1- 6:22
5/10/15- 20x- about 19 minutes
Mile 2- 6:49
Total time on my clock was 34:03. Added time included a much needed walk from the treadmill to the pull-up bar and back between the runs.

Out of pure curiosity, you should try it again in a week or so and do it as prescribed (100, 200, 300) to see your time difference. I was contemplating doing it as you did but figured if I'm going to kill myself anyway might as well just do it straight through so I have a baseline...but I'm curious what the actual difference is. Not that I want to force you to do this behemoth twice lol.0

As prescribed as in 100 pull ups first then 200 push-ups then 300 squats? I was trying to figure out if that's how you were supposed to do it because I had some people tell me that was officially how it was supposed to be done, but online it sounded like you could just split it up how you'd like. That obviously would've made it take longer. I also didn't do it with the 20lb weight vest.1
