“Murph” is one of CrossFit’s very first hero WODs, which honor members of the military who have lost their lives. We do a hero WOD almost every Saturday; this one is a CrossFit classic that many CrossFit gyms do every year on Memorial Day. The workout honors Navy Lieutenant and Medal of Honor recipient Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005.  It was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. Mike was the subject of the 2013 movie “Lone Survivor”. Learn more about Mike Murphy > What’s The Workout? If you’ve never done Murph you’re in for a treat!
