About the Workout
It’s Memorial Day, it’s incredibly hot out, and instead of lounging by the pool, a bunch of your friends are talking about doing Murph.
Murph is a popular workout created by CrossFit (https://www.crossfit.com/workout/2005/08/18#/comments) in memory of Navy Lt. Michael Murphy who died in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. Known as a Hero WOD, Murph was first posted on August 18, 2005, and is completed every year on Memorial Day by CrossFit communities across the country.
Complete the following movements for time:
• 1-mile run
• 100 pull-ups
• 200 push-ups
• 300 air squats
• 1-mile run
• … in a 20-lb. weight vest or body armor (optional)
This workout was one of Murphy’s favorites. He named it “Body Armor,” though it was renamed as Murph in his honor.
It sounds intense. And it is. Although the workout is timed, this undertaking isnt so much about the time it takes you to complete as it is about setting aside time to honor those who have made the ultimate sa
crifice for the freedoms we continue to enjoy everyday.
