The "Murph" on www.Crossfit.com

August 18, 2005
Thursday 050818

“Murph”
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
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.
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.
Post time to comments.


I don't know who posted this, but it's great!

Whew

Read it this morning, tried it.

Only 50 pull-ups though, and I had to run the 1+1 miles first due to treadmill availibility.

Partitioned as follows.
2 mile run
10 sets 5X1 pull-ups
10 sets 20X1 push-ups
6 sets 50X1 squats

83 minutes.

Remember the old guy that ran down Lejeune and Western Blvd's, summertime, wintertime, all year long I'd see that guy. Can't still be alive could he?

Thanks for the information. I will try this and send the results with 48hours. Question, is it with or without body armor or both?

If you have the armor/plates, you're supposed to use them if you think you can handle it. I did it yesterday, it was the first WOD I ever attempted. Not so sure that was the wisest move in the world.

1 mile: 8:00
10/20/30 pllups, pushups, squats * 10
1 mile: 9:30

Time- 67 minutes. I thought I was going to die several times. I didn't use the armor, and did OH squats w/rebar first five sets. I'm hooked on Crossfit, only been at the Beginner Workout for two weeks. Give it a look.

When I saw today's WOD on the Crossfit website I tried to come up with an excuse why I wouldn't be able to work out this afternoon. I have a stomach bug, it's raining outside, I'm tired, etc.....

But after reading trident86's post with the background info....... well, all my excuses just sounded so petty. Shame on me.

So here's my Murph (scaled by 50%)

1 mile
50 pullups
100 pushups
150 squats

(partitioned into 5 rounds of 10/20/30 reps, respectively)

Time = 36:42

Like an idiot, I got motivated and did it with the body armor...barely. Pukie the Clown is a good friend of mine. I got fookin' SMOKED.

Hats off, LT!

I can't wait to see what workout they make up in honor of Danny Dietz seeing how he would've quite possibly went to the Olympic's instead he went into the Teams. He was a freak of nature when it came to gymnastics.

I did "Murph," right before the end of my last deployment. I was smoked. Couldn't tell you what the times were...but I did it in body armor, and it took a while. Since then, I got fat, lazy, and out of shape. Working on getting back to it. I think I'll talk to Marco (the coach at lonestar crossfit,) about doing "murph," for one of the WODs soon.
