What is “Murph”? This WOD was created in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, NY, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. The workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor.” It is referred to as “Murph” in honor of this focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing but to serve his country and the beautiful people in it. To learn more about Lieutenant Michael Murphy, check out his page on the Navy Seals website and his biography on Wikipedia. This workout is dedicated to everyone who has sacrificed their lives in the US Armed Forces. Take a moment during the day to thank someone who has served and reflect on those we’ve lost.
