READY. SET. MURPH!
The Murph Challenge co-founder Michael Sauers shared tips with us for conquering the intense Murph Challenge workout for Memorial Day.
The Murph Challenge workout is: 1 Mile Run, 100 Pull-ups, 200 Push-ups, 300 Squats, and a 1 Mile Run. For an even greater challenge, you can do the workout in a 20lb weighted vest.

The Murph Challenge is more than a workout. It is a yearly tradition that helps push you, humble you, and allows you the opportunity to dedicate a bit of pain and sweat to honor LT. Michael P. Murphy (SEAL), a man who sacrificed everything.
Cali BBQ is proud to once again be an official host location for The Murph Challenge 2021. Join us this year as we continue to help keep his legacy alive through The Murph Challenge campaign.

The Murph is a tradition that pushes you to dedicate some pain and sweat in remembrance of a hero.
Tips to Prepare for The Murph Challenge:
Mix It Up
Know someone who can do 100 straight pullups? Us neither. While it’s recommended to do the runs as a whole, you can bounce around with the workouts to best complete it and beat fatigue.
Break It Down
Again, all those pushups, pullups and squats in order are intimidating AF. Your best bet? Break down those portions. For example, refining the workout into 20 sets is how Mike gets the body weight exercises completed. And trust, he’s a pro.
Take Notes
Brain starting to hurt? Record your sets and reps while you do it. No one can remember all those reps and sets in their head while putting their mind, body and soul through such an intense WOD.
You Can Do it
Not there yet on pushups, pullups or squats? Practice with amended versions – like pushups on your knees – so you’re eventually ready to do a whole Murph Challenge.
