There’s a certain kind of workout that doesn’t need decoration.

McGhee workout is one of those.

5 deadlifts
13 push-ups
9 box jumps
30 minutes

Simple on paper. Not simple in practice.

Lower body pull.
Upper body push.
Interrupted by something explosive.

Pull. Push. Explode.

What makes it work isn’t just the movements. It’s how they interfere with each other. Deadlifts load the system. Push-ups slow the engine. Box jumps demand power when there isn’t much left.

And because it’s 30 minutes, there’s nowhere to hide. You have to find a rhythm you can actually live inside.

No tricks. No fluff.

Just you, your capacity, and the clock. Link to the full essay in bio

Most people treat fitness like a chore.

It’s not.

It’s one of the purest forms of expression you have.

How you move. How you handle pressure. How you stay or break.

That’s you.

But if all your expression lives inside the gym, you’re missing the
point.

You need to create. You need to feel. You need to put something into the
world.

That’s part of staying alive.

Just move, add some weight if you can, that’s all.
