“Murph”

For Time:

200 Push Ups

300 Air 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.

Video courtesy of Lionel Lefebvre.  Spend the 1st 15 Min of today working on a Power Clean and Squat Clean Complex.  I would prefer you hold onto the bar throughout the complex, but if it gets super heavy, you can drop the bar between movements as long as you don’t spend more than 5 seconds between the Power Clean and the Squat Clean.

Quick Fitness Center Update:  The Combat PT Tent is now open M-F 0500-2100.  The Tent will stay closed on the weekends until further notice.  Also, still no organized classes yet.  Fingers crossed for some time in June.  The main Fitness Center is open 0500-2100 through the week, with access to registered CAC cards from 2100-0500.  Also, the gym is still only open for ACTIVE DUTY personnel.  Again, we are slowly getting closer and closer to normal, so as things change, we will keep you updated.

 

Warmup:

7 Min AMRAP:

20 Jumping Jacks

15 Light KB Deadlifts

10 Light KB Russian Swings

5 Goblet Squats

10 Iron Crosses

Then…

10 Bow to Bends

10 Squat to Stands

10 thoracic High Fives

Barbell Warmup:

With an empty bar, perform 5 reps of: Good morning, Back Squats, Elbow Rotations, Front Squat, RDL.  Then, in Clean grip, perform 3 reps of: Dip/Shrug, Dip/Shrug/High Elbows, High Hang Power Clean, Hang Power Clean.  If you don’t have a bar, use light DBs

 

S/S/S:

Deadlift:

12 Minutes to work up to a Heavy Single

Video courtesy of Mobility WOD.  Good archived video of Kelly Starrett discussing proper load order in the Deadlift.  Take the first 12 minutes today and just work on building to a heavy Deadlift Single.  If you don’t get close to your 1RM, not a big deal.  It has been a while since we have gone heavy, so just want to remind the muscles what it feels like to get some heavy weight on them.  If you are able to build in weight, start with a couple of sets of 5 reps, up the weight and do a couple of sets at 3 reps, then one set at 2 (climbing again), then spend the rest of the time doing singles, adding weight each time.  If limited on weight, pick a rep scheme that is challenging and maintain that rep count every set.

WOD:

AMRAP 15:

30 American KB Swings (53/35)

15 Hang Power Cleans (95/65)

30 Goblet Squats (53/35)

15 Front Squats (95/65)

This one will test your grip and your legs.  Things to remember: use the hips more than the arms in the KB Swings, Use a hook grip on the hang Power Cleans to save your grip, keep the KB glued to your body and keep the torso upright in Goblet Squats, and keep the elbows high in the front rack during Front Squats.

 

Scaling Options:

KB weight -> 35/25-> as needed

Bar weight -> 75/55 -> as needed, or use DBs

 

Cool Down:

Forearm roll out with barbell – 1 Min per side

If doing SDHP, barbell w/u: If you have no rower, grab an empty barbell, get feet outside shoulder width and grip bar with hands thumb distance apart. Perform 5 reps of, sumo deadlift, sumo deadlift with a violent hip extension at the top, 5 high pulls, 5 sumo deadlift high pulls

WOD:

For Time:

200 Double Unders

100 Cal Row*

1200 Meter Run

 

Break up however you want

 

* If no rower, perform 100 Sumo deadlift high pulls (75/55)

You are allowed to break up the reps and order of this WOD anyway you want.  So, if you want to break this up into 4 rounds of   50 Double Unders, 25 Cal Row and a 300M run, do so.  If you want to get all the dubs out of the way and then go 3 rounds of 400M run and 33.3333 Cals (I would go 40/30/30), do it!  It is up to you.  Just get through it!  And, since not everyone is going to have a rower at the house or have access to one, you can sub sumo deadlift high pulls for the row.  Each rep of SDHP is equivalent to 1 Cal Row.

Double Unders -> 200 Penguin Hops -> 400 Single Unders -> 400 Bunny Hops
