CrossFit Forte schedules Murph Saturday 8 a.m.

CrossFit Forte used its May 20 workout post to lock in its Memorial weekend Murph plan, telling members the main session will be held Saturday at 8 a.m. and an alternate session will be offered Monday at 8 a.m. The Nashville gym published the schedule alongside that day’s training, which centered on shoulder press work and a four-part conditioning piece. The post added a direct note for athletes who cannot attend the main day, saying the Monday slot is the backup option. The update fits a monthlong run of Murph-specific preparation on the gym’s programming page. ### What exactly did CrossFit Forte put on the schedule? CrossFit Forte wrote on its May 20 page that the “main day” for Murph is Saturday at 8 a.m. and that the “back up day” is Monday at 8 a.m. for people who cannot make the weekend session. The wording appeared at the top of the daily workout post rather than in a separate event notice. The gym’s regular class schedule shows Saturday programming is normally listed as open gym from 8:00 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. with a class at 10:00 a.m., making the posted 8 a.m. (crossfitforte.com) Murph time a specific holiday-weekend slot rather than a generic reference to the usual class board. ### What was in the May 20 workout itself? The May 20 programming at CrossFit Forte began with shoulder press work. The conditioning portion then called for four AMRAPs built from seven handstand push-ups, seven toes-to-bar, seven shoulder-to-overhead and another seven toes-to-bar, with one minute of rest after each interval. (crossfitforte.com) The same post said athletes should pick up where they left off after each AMRAP. (crossfitforte.com) The four work windows were listed as 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes and 1 minute. ### How long has the gym been building toward Murph? CrossFit Forte began signaling its Murph cycle in April. A post for April 20 said, “Next week we start our annual Murph Prep,” and a later April 27 entry said the gym would spend “the next ~30 days” doing Murph prep before tackling the workout together on Memorial Day. (crossfitforte.com) May programming continued that theme. On May 4, the gym posted a three-part session of running, strict pull-ups, push-ups and air squats labeled “Murph Prep Week 2,” and on May 11 it advanced to larger pull-up, push-up and squat volumes with running between rounds. (crossfitforte.com) A May 18 post then described that week as the “last week of Murph Prep before hitting it this weekend.” ### Why is there a Monday backup if the main day is Saturday? (crossfitforte.com) The May 20 post itself answered that question. CrossFit Forte said the Monday 8 a.m. session is for “those who can’t make it Saturday,” giving members a second chance over the Memorial Day weekend. CrossFit Forte used a Monday Murph format last year. Its May 26, 2025 post listed “8a Murph today” and programmed the benchmark as a 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats and a 1-mile run, with reps partitioned as needed and the vest marked optional. (crossfitforte.com) ### What should members watch for next? Saturday is the main Murph date on CrossFit Forte’s current plan, with the alternate session set for Monday at 8 a.m., according to the May 20 post. (crossfitforte.com) Members looking for any further changes or holiday details would most likely find them on the gym’s daily WOD page and schedule page, where Forte has been posting its Murph prep and event timing throughout May.
