We are now on week 6 of our Murph Prep. This is a "Mini Murph" Variation. If you have a weight vest and plan on wearing a vest for the actual "Murph" workout on Memorial Day, now is a good time to start using it.

Focus Points:

-Quality movement for all repetitions.

-Pullups can be any variation you wish (strict, kip, jumping, butterly etc.)

-Puhsups need to be an option you can touch your chest all the way down but also be able to lock your arms out at the top.

-Air squats need to be as deep as your mobility allows with full ankle, knee and hip extension at the top.

-Move through this with quality as your intention, rather than how fast you can move.

Goal:

-Quality of movement is a top priority.
