What are the tips and strategy to use for the “Murph” workout? If you choose to partition the “inside work,” the Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, and Air Squats (which is the original intent of the workout), partition them as follows: 20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 air squats.
It's simple: Run one mile, do 100 pull-ups, do 200 push-ups, do 300 body-weight squats, then run another mile.

Cindy is 5 pullups, 10 pushups and 15 squats for 20 minutes. A great, simple yet challenging workout. I would recommend most Athletes do Cindy with a goal of hitting 20 rounds.
This weekend, try the 5-10-15 challenge. Grab a stopwatch and perform 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 bodyweight squats, in that order, as fast as possible with good form. Repeat 5 times.
What's the hardest part of Murph? The toughest part of the "CrossFit® Murph Challenge" is the mental and physical endurance it demands. This workout is designed to push you to your absolute limits. The mix of running, pull-ups, push-ups, and squats is no joke—especially when you throw on a weighted vest.
a) Divide the exercises into rounds
So if you can do a maximum of 10 push-ups and 5 pull-ups at a time (unexhausted), simply divide the exercises into 20 rounds. Then 5 pull-ups followed by 10 push-ups and 15 squats are completed and the whole thing is repeated 20 times.
What types of pull ups are in Murph? Any pull-up variation is acceptable; providing you begin (or pass through) under the bar with straight arms and finish the rep with your chin above the bar. This can be achieved with strict pull-ups, kipping pull-ups or butterfly pull-ups.
Josh Bridges holds the record at 28 minutes and 45 seconds, set back in 2014.
Every single day for 362 days straight (as of publication), Jim Lubonski has put on a 20-pound weighted vest. Then he runs one mile, does 100 pullups, 200 pushups, 300 squats, and follows that with another one mile run. If he's still feeling good, he finishes up by doing his own workout as well.
Doing the workout “unpartitioned” requires you to complete all 100 pull-ups before moving on to the push-ups, then all 200 push-ups before moving on to the squats. Prior to my 32:41 on June 18th, 2021, Hunter McIntyre held the record for the fastest known weighted & unpartitioned Murph with a time of 34:13.
What is a 'Good' MURPH Time? What's considered a good time is relative to the exerciser. If you're a beginner, less than 60 minutes is considered a good finish time. For exercisers who are advanced, you'll want to complete it in less than 45 minutes, and for elite athletes, less than 35 minutes.
Plus the work is bodyweight exercise which isn't going to be as much as moving barbells full of plates. Due to the duration of Murph it's likely that you aren't going as hard as on shorter WOD's either. Assuming a 200 pound athlete, I'd estimate you're in the 600-700 calorie range if you did Murph in 45 minutes.
If you have never done 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 squats in a workout, don't try it out of the blue, and certainly do not add weight to the repetitions. The Murph without a weight vest requires an advanced level of fitness. The added 20-pound weight vest just makes it even harder.
As prescribed, Murph is performed for time. It starts with a 1-mile run, followed by a grueling sequence of 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 air squats. The workout concludes with another 1-mile run. Athletes may partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats as needed.
Incorporate a mix of running, pull-ups, push-ups, and squats into your workouts, gradually increasing the volume and intensity over time. CrossFit gyms often offer Murph-specific training programs leading up to Memorial Day, when Murph is traditionally performed in honor of Lieutenant Murphy.
The first rule of CrossFit is: you have to talk about CrossFit. The second rule of CrossFit is: you HAVE TO talk about CrossFit. Or so it seems to the uninitiated.
The first is because they perform powerful, dynamic movements with extremely heavy weights, which create a thick, stable core. The second is because the high intensity nature of the style of training promotes calorie burning and fat loss, which means your abs become easily visible.
