Mark Zuckerberg shocked his fans: He appeared in a bulletproof vest, and his two daughters were doing push-ups in front of him
Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg often posts pictures of his personal life on his own social network.
Today he released a very interesting post in military clothing.
Mark is wearing what many thought was a bulletproof vest.
In front of him, two of his daughters are doing push-ups.
It turned out to be something else.
„I try to do the Murph challenge with the girls every Memorial Day as a tradition to honor those who defended us. One of Lt Murphy’s favorite workouts was running a mile, then doing 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and then running another mile – all while wearing a 20lb weighted pack. This year I got it done in 39:58. The girls did a quarter-Murph (unweighted) in 15 mins!“ he wrote.
His two girls, Maxima and Augustus, can be seen obeying his orders without a murmur.
Comments poured in
„100 pull ups is a brutal outlier here!“ pointed out one of his fans.
Mark replies:
„Yeah, although that last mile run when your legs are torched from the squats and your heart rate is pegged is pretty brutal too…“
„The event site, with Lt Murph’s story. Mark’s time would rank among the top 200, of over 20,000 participants.“, notes another fan.
„There are a few different ways people do this. The most hardcore is called Rx and those people do the 100 pull ups, then 200 push ups, and then the 300 squats sequentially. I did a partitioned Murph with a bunch of sets with smaller reps of each alternating. Still challenging, but my Rx time would be a lot slower,“ answers Mark.
Here are other comments:
„Very inspiring. I’m so inspired. The floor exercise looks so good and gives me a great view of the spiderwebs on my ceiling.
I think I’ll meditate instead.“
„You truly are an inspiration for all the fathers out there, Mark Zuckerberg! I remember my dad (former boxer) because of this picture. It was a daily routine for us to do pushups, core exercises, boxing drills and 1v1 bout against my brother. Difficult activities develop resilience and discipline in kids.“
„Motive! The motive is special! I did not know that such young people so strongly celebrate Memorial Day. Thank you.“
„Wonderful tribute and teaching to the girls in honoring the day.“
Mark Zuckerberg has three children with his wife Priscilla Chan. They are girls and their names are Maxima, August and Aurelia. Maxima was born in 2015, August in 2017, and Aurelia in 2023. Mark and Priscilla announced the birth of their third child via Instagram in March 2023. They share that they are happy and grateful for their new little miracle.
Memorial Day is an American holiday observed on the last Monday in May that honors the men and women who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated after the Civil War when people decorated the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and prayers. In 1971, it became an official federal holiday. Many Americans visit cemeteries or memorials on Memorial Day and participate in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.
