CrossFit Amplify "Murph"

Memorial Day "Murph!"
In memory of all our fallen veterans.

Be smart, scale the reps, and substitute another movement if lacking a pull-up bar.

Memorial Day

"Murph"
For Time:
Run 1 Mile
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Air Squats
Run 1 Mile

Partition the Pull-ups, Push-ups, and Squats as needed. Start and finish with a mile run. To scale up, wear a twenty pound weight vest.

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 Lt. Murphy's favorites and he'd named it "Body Armor." From 2005 on it has been 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.
