W.O.D. 5.28.11


"Murph"
for time complete:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run

*You can choose to do this solo or with a partner. You can 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 (10 pounds for ladies).

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.

  9. I can honestly say that I am rediculiosly thrilled that Jason finally nailed a muscle up. I am so happy and proud of you Jason. I know you worked ur ass off to nail that. I also want to ass that I have been training down the shore is some stupid meat head gym where most of the members talk for a hlaf hour squat at about 65 degrees and could not define range of motion if they had it written on a piece of paper in front of them. I miss kop so much. I hope everyone is well and I cant wait to see everyone kill it at regionals.
