If you thought Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s only domain was the digital world, think again. Turns out, the billionaire tech entrepreneur is also a fitness enthusiast who might just give you a run for your money, especially in the CrossFit arena.
Recently, Zuckerberg undertook one of the most notoriously grueling fitness challenges known in the CrossFit community – the Murph workout. Named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, a United States Navy SEAL officer who was killed in Afghanistan, the Murph is a challenge designed to push the limits of human endurance. It involves a 1-mile run, followed by 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, and 300 air squats, and then finishes off with another 1-mile run. All of this is supposed to be completed while wearing a weighted vest, in under an hour.
For the average fitness enthusiast, completing the Murph in a vest within 50 to 70 minutes is deemed respectable. A “good” time ranges between 43 to 50 minutes, while high-level athletes aim to finish in 42 minutes or less.
So, how did Zuckerberg fare in this demanding endeavor? The CEO of Meta, previously known as Facebook, posted a time of 39 minutes and 58 seconds. Yes, you read that right. Zuckerberg, a tech tycoon whose life revolves around coding and business meetings, completed the Murph workout in less than 40 minutes. This time places him well within the elite athlete range, and impressively ahead of many seasoned CrossFitters.
Zuckerberg’s accomplishment is not just a testament to his physical prowess but also his mental fortitude. The Murph workout is not just about strength and stamina, but also about determination and resilience. It’s about pushing past physical discomfort, about telling your body to keep going when every muscle screams to stop. Achieving such a time in the Murph is evidence of Zuckerberg’s unwavering willpower and grit.
