“Murph”

There are a few people doing “Murph” this coming Saturday morning… so if you would like to get in on it talk to Nate. Weight vests are limited but we may be able to get a few extras with some advance notice. 

Michael Murphy
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it ‘Body Armor.’ From here on it will be referred to as ‘Murph’ in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. 

  • 1 mile Run
  • 100 Pull-ups
  • 200 Push-ups
  • 300 Squats
  • 1 mile Run
For time. Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. If you’ve got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it. 
*Hint: Your time will improve dramatically if you partition the pull ups, push ups, and squats “Cindy style”.
