Memorial Day Murph & Half Murph & Team Murph

Memorial Day Murph

For time:
Run 1 mile
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Air Squats
Run 1 mile

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.

Half Murph

For time:
Run 800m
50 Pull-ups
100 Push-ups
150 Air Squats
Run 800m

Partition the pull-ups, push-ups and air squats as needed. Start and finish with an 800 meter run. If you’ve got a twenty pound vest or body armor, wear it.

Team Murph

For time:
Run 800m
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Air Squats
Run 800m

Work in teams of 2. Both partners run the 800m, then split the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed with only one person working at a time. 20 rounds of Cindy, split 10 and 10, works well. Then both partners run another 800 m.
