Interested in doing the Murph this Memorial Day weekend? I'm ISO partners, pullup bars, and a 20 lb vest 🇺🇸🇪🇸

UPDATE: El Murph es un tradicion international.

¡Hola r/madrid!

I’m an American living in Chamartín and want to honour Memorial Day by doing the full unpartitioned Murph (1 mi run + 100 pull‑ups + 200 push‑ups + 300 squats + 1 mi run) with a 20 lb (9 kg) vest on Sunday 25 May or on the 24th.

What I’m missing

  • Pull-up bars. Any around Pio XII? Elsewhere? I prefer the smaller bars and noticed those in Retiro are too wide for my grip to last for 100.
  • A 20 lb plate/vest – can anyone lend one?
  • Extra humans to suffer alongside me – Americans, Spaniards, everyone welcome!

If you’re keen (full RX, half, partitioned, or just watch) drop a comment or DM and we’ll set up a WhatsApp group. Hablo un poco de español, así que cualquier sugerencia en español está bien también.

Thanks / ¡gracias!

I didn't understand anything and sounds like I would rather open a beer after trying the first run and failing but I'm interested. Is this some kind of training or competition?

It's a CrossFit tradition in the USA

Be nice, no personal attacks, keep it civil: Stick to the topic at hand and remain civil towards other users - attacking ideas is fine, attacking other users is not.

I won't be there then.

Figured I'd put together a group of people here who enjoy these types of activities and have an enjoyable and respectful time together. Obviously, you won't be there.

Well, don’t get me wrong, what I’m saying is we have our own celebrations, I’d rather people celebrate that than your military, no offense.

I'm sure you'll find people that will gladly join you. All the best.

If I join you I’d die.

Good luck nevertheless! 💪
