Hey Fam – we are wrapping up a tough 4 weeks of completing Double Murph Prep each week (on Mondays and Fridays) . This week we got to put the fitness to the test with Half Murph on Monday, so we have had a slightly lighter back half of the week. This is to allow your body and mind to get a bit of a rest before we head into our upcoming Strength Surge Cycle starting on Monday. 💪
Enjoy the rest of your week and weekend. See y’all on Monday!

Workout Strategy and Flow
- We have a 2 part workout. Both parts have the same # of reps, but part 1 will be done in rounds and part 2 is straight through. I am encouraging you to aim for around the same time on both.
- This may seem slightly familiar. We did something similar to this back in June 2023, but this is different, as it has one less movement that what we have seen before.
- Alternating Bodyweight Single Leg RDL : smooth is fast here. You don’t need to rush these because the faster you go, the more likely you are to lose your balance and then waste time. Just stay moving.
- Box Jump Overs : the box height you select needs to be something you feel confident jumping to, especially with heavy legs.
Substitution
- No box available? Complete as Tuck Jumps
- Cannot jump? Complete as Box Step Overs or Modified Tuck Jump

- Dumbbell Deadlift : you should feel strong and fast with this weight, especially at only 10 reps in the first part. Grip and Rip….BUT be sure you still stand up all the way at the top, even when you’re trying to go fast!!!
- Box Jump Overs : the box height you select needs to be something you feel confident jumping to, especially with heavy legs.
