There are many variations of this workout within the CrossFit community and there are many opinions on what is considered “Rx.” For our measurable and repeatable purposes, we program Murph in a partitioned format and without a vest.

“I want to see it, before I believe it.”
We are visually oriented people.
We seem to trust our eyes more than our other senses.
It’s why we call our ultimate direction our “vision”. It’s why in the middle of the night, if we think we hear something, we want to take a look before we feel safe enough to fall back asleep. We can hear news through the grapevine, but we doubt it until we see it.
Recognizing this, we can leverage it to our advantage. Many of us will agree that there is power in writing down our goals, and this is why. We begin to believe it that much more. It feels that much more real.
Write down our vision. Write down our goals. Write down anything that is important, not because it’s a mundane task… but because we need to see it, before we believe it.
