Warm-up Drills
I. Coach’s Choice
II. Mobility

Impact/Focus: Deadlift 1RM
Warm-up with the percentage based sets/reps listed below (using your most recent 1-Rep or 5 rep maximum data to determine loads) before working up to a heavy single or new 1RM personal record.

5 x 40% (warm-up)
3 x 50% (warm-up)
3 x 60% (warm-up)

Deadlift 1-1-1-1-1RM

Notes: Utilize single rep sets beyond the five as needed. The percentage based warm-up is a guideline, athletes should prepare to warm themselves up well with a strategy towards maximizing one rep performance. Adrenaline and over excitement at the words ‘One Rep Max’ does not represent an appropriate standalone warm-up. Prime yourselves to excel, get some, freaks!

Warm-up Drills

Impact/Focus: Overhead Squat Intervals
Warm up as needed before completing the following workload for Overhead Squat every :75 for 9 rounds.

Overhead Squat 5-3-1-5-3-1-5-3-1 (same weight across sets)

Notes: Whether training with PVC or a loaded barbell today is about ideal form and technical practice. The warm-up drills used will facilitate improved range of motion and performance, applying these to the training every :75 depends significantly upon proper discretion when selecting a weight for today’s Overhead Squats.

60% of a 1rm or lighter if applicable log book data exists.

Bars will be rack jerked and taken from the rig for this part of today’s training evolution.

“Savasana”
5 Rounds for time
(vs 15:00 time cap)
Row 250m
7 x Snatch (see below)

Notes: Full or Power movements are both viable options for today; however, one method being selected for use throughout the five rounds would be regarded as the more encouraged behavior as opposed to mixing and matching Power and Full Snatch movements throughout.

Select weights that are 60% of a 1RM or lighter, 1-2 sets per round would ideally be possible as a perspective guideline.

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. Scaling for overall training volume and movement substitutions will be covered during the Whiteboard Pre-Training Brief.

Read on regarding the special Significance of this Hero WOD and its solemn place on Memorial Day.

–‘MURPH’ is named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. He was 29-years-old. After graduating from Penn State University in 1998, Murphy rejected offers to attend law school and instead accepted a commission in the United States Navy and became a SEAL in July 2002. For a man whose nickname was ‘The Protector’, the decision made perfect sense. In fact, when Murphy was in the 8th grade, he was suspended from school for fighting with bullies that were trying to shove a special needs child into a locker. And Gary Williams, author of “Seal of Honor,” a biography of Murphy, recounts a story where Murphy protected a homeless man who was collecting cans from a gang of thugs.

Navy_SEALs_in_Afghanistan_prior_to_Red_WingIn early 2005 Murphy was assigned to SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team ONE as officer in charge of Alpha Platoon and deployed to Afghanistan. In June of that year, Murphy was leading a four-man reconnaissance team in Kunar province as part of a counter-insurgent mission (the other men in Murphy’s team were Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson and Marcus Luttrell).

During the mission the team encountered a group of local goat herders. A discussion was held among the four SEALs regarding the rules of engagement and what they should do with the herders, who were being held at gunpoint. Eventually the men decided to release them, but not soon after the SEALs were surrounded and ambushed by an overwhelming Taliban force. Murphy, who was trying to reach HQ via satellite phone, willingly exposed himself to enemy fire by stepping into a clearing where he might get a signal to make the call. Murphy was shot in the back, but still managed to calmly complete the call for reinforcements and return to his position to continue the fight with his men. HQ sent an MH-47 Chinook helicopter to rescue the team, but while attempting to set down in rugged terrain, the helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade, killing all 16 men on board.

Murphy, Dietz, and Axelson were all killed in action. Luttrell was the only survivor and was eventually rescued after several days of wandering the mountain and being protected by the people of an Afghan village…” There is much more, please find and follow the link if you’d like to continue learning about the Murph story.

Thank you to all of our community for honoring this holiday in a profoundly special way.
