BUT HOW MUCH WEIGHT
MURPH Modifications with Sandbags and a Vest

MURPH is the most popular single-day workout event in the country. I’m not much for chasing trends just because, but honoring Memorial Day’s meaning with a little sweat is something we definitely get behind. If you’re on the fence, I say go for it.

Because I have a *****-*** elbow, I have to modify the workout. I trade out pull-ups for sandbag rows. The main point here is to say, do what you gotta do and prescriptions can be modified (or ignored entirely).

I’ll wear a 20# Rucking Weight Vest for everything and I have a 60# Sandbag.

The full workout will look like this for me:

Buy-In: 1 Mile at 80# (Vest + Sandbag), then:
10 ROUNDS:

20 Bent Over Sandbag Rows (straight lower back)
20 Push-Ups (eyes forward back straight chest hits the ground!)
30 Squats (femurs parallel or zero rep yourself - GET SOME)

Cash Out: 1 mile at 80#

Then I’ll bask in the glory of my pool of sweat and raise a cold one to the fallen with emily and some friends.

Note:
If you don’t have a vest, it’s OK.
If you don’t have a sandbag, it’s OK.
If you have to walk, that’s OK.
If you want to challenge yourself to go really fast or hard or for time, go for it! It’s up to you. I do the 80# ruck instead of the 20 run because my body prefers rucking. You do you.
If all you have is your body, modify it to do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

And this is important: Memorial Day is best when shared — call a buddy up and do it together!

LION RESCUE 🦁 @goruck

When there’s no alternative and time is of the essence we help fund regional wildlife emergencies.

Two male lions escaped a local reserve after floods took out the fencing back in January. When that happens, a run-in with humans is inevitable. It’s just a matter of time, and it rarely ends well for the lions.

Most people picture Africa as this vast open landscape where wildlife roams free. That’s not reality. Animals here and around the world have been pushed into small managed pockets that can’t survive without human intervention.

Operations like this aren’t cheap. Our role is funding the chopper fuel to make it happen. Thanks to partners like @goruck we were able to move immediately. No delays, no waiting around.

Big thanks to every professional and volunteer involved.
On the stick 🚁 @big_game_heli 💪🏽
Vet @wild_game_vet 💪🏽

The boys are home safe. 🙏

One funny story, one NOT funny story from our 12-Miler in DC for Ruckapalooza. (The 12 Miler with an old buddy @coach_bunny was so perfect it was too boring for here), so let’s cut to the chase:
🥶 THE FUNNY ONE: We changed the rules for the EMBRACE THE COLD patch, Calvinball style. Old rules: we time you for 3 minutes. New rules: You get in, there are no clocks, and you get out when you think it’s been 3 minutes. If you get out early? NO PATCH. If anyone tells you the time? We add a minute. We had people staying in for over 15 minutes. Turns out, we’re all capable of a lot more than we think. That’s GORUCK AF.
🇺🇸 THE NOT FUNNY ONE: For the first time since 2010, we’ve heard hesitation from some Ruck Club Leaders about carrying the American Flag because of a perception that it’s now a “political statement.”
Let’s set the record straight: The flag belongs neither to the right nor the left, no matter who is in office. It represents the United States of America. Zero politics, just a deep love of country and a respect for those who serve the dream of who we can be together. We’ve always carried it, and we will keep carrying it. If you see us, honk or say what’s up. THANK YOU! People are the best part of GORUCK now and forever.

One funny story, one NOT funny story from our 12-Miler in DC for Ruckapalooza. (The 12 Miler with an old buddy @coach_bunny was so perfect it was too boring for here), so let’s cut to the chase:
🥶 THE FUNNY ONE: We changed the rules for the EMBRACE THE COLD patch, Calvinball style. Old rules: we time you for 3 minutes. New rules: You get in, there are no clocks, and you get out when you think it’s been 3 minutes. If you get out early? NO PATCH. If anyone tells you the time? We add a minute. We had people staying in for over 15 minutes. Turns out, we’re all capable of a lot more than we think. That’s GORUCK AF.
🇺🇸 THE NOT FUNNY ONE: For the first time since 2010, we’ve heard hesitation from some Ruck Club Leaders about carrying the American Flag because of a perception that it’s now a “political statement.”
Let’s set the record straight: The flag belongs neither to the right nor the left, no matter who is in office. It represents the United States of America. Zero politics, just a deep love of country and a respect for those who serve the dream of who we can be together. We’ve always carried it, and we will keep carrying it. If you see us, honk or say what’s up. THANK YOU! People are the best part of GORUCK now and forever.

Ruckapalooza is in full swing in the Nation’s Capital. 💪

We’re LIVE with @GORUCK in Washington, D.C., as ruckers come together for a weekend of miles, grit, and remembrance honoring all who served and sacrificed in the Global War on Terrorism.

We kicked off the weekend by completing the Capital Ruck Shakeout yesterday, which started and ended at the future site of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial, bringing every step back to the mission at the heart of this movement. 🇺🇸

Not in D.C.? You can still ruck virtually from anywhere throughout the month of May. Learn more at the link in our bio.

“MURPH” = “BODY ARMOR”
Honor the sacrifice with work

WHY MURPH

When Lt. Murphy did the workout now named after him, he called it “BODY ARMOR” and it was designed to train as you fight, meaning — with all your kit on. In combat, you never go anywhere without weight. If you run, you sprint with your weight on (and your guns). If you crawl, you have your kit on. It’s heavy and you get stronger to deal with it by training in it. That’s how it works.

It has become a global tradition to wear a weight vest during MURPH, done on Memorial Day. We’re all doing it and hope you’ll join us.

One note on a modification - Rows vs. Pull-ups:
The workout calls for 100 pull-ups. If you can and want to do it exactly as prescribed, good. If you need to modify this section, bent over sandbag rows also hit the “pull” movement. But they’re less taxing and for me, they don’t bring on elbow tendinitis. I’m not trying to talk you out of anything. I do the rows now because my elbows don’t cooperate very well with my life goals sometimes, and doing MURPH this way to honor the sacrifice is better than doing nothing.

It’s heavy and you get stronger to deal with it by training in it. That’s how it works.

It has become a global tradition to wear a weight vest during MURPH, done on Memorial Day. We’re all doing it and hope you’ll join us.

One note on a modification - Rows vs. Pull-ups:
The workout calls for 100 pull-ups. If you can and want to do it exactly as prescribed, good. If you need to modify this section, bent over sandbag rows also hit the “pull” movement. But they’re less taxing and for me, they don’t bring on elbow tendinitis. I’m not trying to talk you out of anything. I do the rows now because my elbows don’t cooperate very well with my life goals sometimes, and doing MURPH this way to honor the sacrifice is better than doing nothing.

“MURPH” = “BODY ARMOR”
Honor the sacrifice with work

WHY MURPH

When Lt. Murphy did the workout now named after him, he called it “BODY ARMOR” and it was designed to train as you fight, meaning — with all your kit on. In combat, you never go anywhere without weight. If you run, you sprint with your weight on (and your guns). If you crawl, you have your kit on. It’s heavy and you get stronger to deal with it by training in it. That’s how it works.
