Today, we take on the Hero workout Murph in memory of Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, New York, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. Visit the Murph Challenge site to learn more and support the Murph Foundation. This workout was named 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. If you think this work may take longer than 60 minutes to complete, consider removing the vest and/or reducing the volume. Scale the pull-ups to complete 5 reps in 1-2 sets with ease. If this is a challenge, scale the volume or substitute with ring rows or jumping pull-ups. Scale push-up and squat volume to allow for continued movement. Most athletes will opt for 5-10-15 reps for 20 rounds. If you plan to do 10-20-30 reps for 10 rounds or anything greater, you should anticipate being able to perform pull-ups in sets of 5 or more and push-ups in sets of 3 or more throughout the workout. Be sure to log your Murph score in the CrossFit app!
