I never thought of you as an intellectual.
<puh-dum-pah!> 
I could eventually run a mile or do the situps, I suppose, and I might be able to do the pushups (though my ratio of attempts to “real” pushups might be 10 to 1 or so), but the limit to the number of pull-ups I can do between rests is 0. The only time in my life I’ve ever been able to do pull-ups was shortly after I got back from a two-week canoeing trip, in my late teens.
For me it is a year-round event.
Well, if I end up doing it, I’ll post back with my times.
I’m actually training this year- somebody ping me in late April (I race IM140.6 in Texas on the 24) and I’ll see where I am physically. Maybe even video it for my website so you beer guys have something at which to laugh.
What is this? I’m not familiar with it.
It’s a CrossFit thing. If you are in the cult of CrossFit you would know about it. Every year on Memorial Day the WoD (workout of the day) is The Murph. The Murph is named after Medal of Honor reciepiant Michael Murphy (played by Taylor Kitsch in the movie Lone Survivor). Most just do it as a challenge but it’s also used as a fundraiser for the charity in Murphy’s name.
That’s an IronMan distance triathlon.
I could do the run and the pushups, would take awhile for the pushups though. I could probably do the pullups in a month, maybe. I’ve never been good at them and would have to do them one at a time. I’ve never done a squat that I know of.
Yes.
It was awful. I had to track everything with chalk on the floor ( you can do them in sets, but no breaks).
Felt like a pretty major accomplishment. Oh! I also did not have the extra weight, and the pull-ups were scaled (bands).
I should add, most CrossFit places do this at the beginning of the summer, and then again on/around Memorial Day.
This morning I tried the middle part of the challenge.
I did 100 pull-ups / 200 pushups / 300 squats in 38 minutes.
My form on the pull-ups was pretty bad. I did maybe 20 with strict form, the rest with varying degrees of kipping and general sloppiness.
