Memorial Day Murph

Join us on Monday, May 27th for Memorial Day and Honor Lieutenant Michael Murphy. 

We will have rolling heats starting at 9am through 11am. 

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 there on it was 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. 

 Partition the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. 

 Rx for the full WOD will require the weight vest (10# ladies and 20# gentlemen).

100 Pull-ups 

200 Push-ups
