People Think Donald Trump Jr.’s CrossFit Claims Are Dubious

There is something in Crossfit training called The Murph.

DJTJ reported a time on social media and some sites are raising eyebrows, implying he’s lying.

Deadspin-

To complete the Murph, you have to run one mile, do 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and then run another mile. It’s especially popular on Memorial Day.

…he claimed that he’d gone to an upstate New York CrossFit gym and knocked out a Murph in around 37 minutes

 

2015 CrossFit Games men’s division first place time: 38:56. Nothing else needs to be said really. He is completely full of shit.

An instructor at CrossFit Queens noted that completing the Murph in a full weight vest in under 38 minutes would be “very difficult,” but did acknowledge the possibility that a truncated version of the workout would be “entirely possible” if he wasn’t wearing a weight vest and partitioned his reps into sets instead of doing them progressively.

To complete Murph, partitioned, with no weight vest, with various ranges of motion for each movement, as a 39 year old, in under 38 minutes is entirely possible. I have no idea what DTJ’s fitness like is to begin with, but it’s possible that he did two miles and 600 reps of something in that time.

The thing about the internet and including fitness on the internet, is that people can make claims, without offering further explanation and that leaves a lot to interpretation.

Junior is now living in their heads.

  1. In these days of fuzzy math and questionable ethics who really knows what anything really means anymore? I can run a 60 yard dash in 60 seonds WHICH means I’m still breathin and thats what matters to me.

  3. He should just keep making the stories Bigger and Bigger .
    How about Kayaking the english channel in 58 minutes 7 seconds ?(against the wind)
    Stair Climbing all The Egyptian Pyramids in One Night.? (with a cold)
    Running a Marathon Carrying Ivanka on his Shoulders , While whistling Yankee Doodle !

  4. Run 1 mile 7:30 x 2 = 15 minutes
    100 Pull-ups: 25 x 4 sets with rest in between = 7 minutes
    200 Push-ups: 25 x 8 sets with rest in between = 7.5 minutes
    300 Squats: 50 x 6 sets with rest in between = 7.5 minutes

    I could do this right now in 37 minutes or less.
    Seriously.
    No weight vest, just my body weight.
    Yes, I am a pretty fit guy, but older than DT jr.

  5. Say, wasn’t there something called the Bam, named after Obama which people used to do on may Day. I think it consisted of

    Shank three drives in a row into a water hazard
    Do 3 shoulder flys with 5 lb dumbells
    Throw a baseball 45 feet
    Cringe like a 10 year old girl upon seeing a judo throw
    Do 4 bicep curls with 5 lb dumbells
    Miss 15 basketball shots in a row
    Swat a fly during an interview

    And I guess you’re supposed to accomplish this over the course of 8 years. Anyone ever try it

  6. The libs accept that a biological man can decide he wants to be a woman, and poof, we’re all supposed to cheer! but they’re suspicious about DJTJ allegedly fudging a fitness test?

  7. Any “reputable” liberal resource that muscles a member of any President’s family is meritless, brainless,
    penniless, honorless and ball-less. (Probably should have put the last adjective first)
