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.

From crossfit.com:
On Nov. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a terrorist named Major Nidal Hasan attacked fellow soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. When the shooting ended, he had killed 12 soldiers and one civilian and wounded 43 others.

Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tennessee, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19, of West Jordan, Utah, Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Spc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minnesota, along with eleven of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit.

This workout is in honor of these soldiers, one month after the murderous rampage. We are asking the CrossFit community to make donations in honor of these soldiers at cflumberjack.org.

Conflicting Prescriptions

Could have sworn I looked up the proper prescription last time, but the CFHQ post for today has things in a different order. This left me so confused that I ended up w/ yet a third order, as follows:

"Tabata This!?":
8 tabata intervals (20 seconds work followed by 10 seconds rest) of each of the following.

• Rower (Calories), sub SDLHP reps - 45 lbs
• Pull-ups
• Squats
• Push-ups
• Sit-ups

Rest exactly 1 minute between exercises. All 8 intervals for each exercise are performed consecutively. Keep track of reps performed each round for all intervals of all exercises. Score is the sum of the lowest number of reps for each exercise in any set.

Results:
Seth - 49

• SDLHP - 10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10 - Minimum: 10, Total: 80
• Pull-Ups - 8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8 - Minimum: 8, Total: 64
• Squats - 14,14,14,14,14,14,14,14 - Minimum: 14, Total: 112
• Push Ups - 9,9,9,9,8,8,6,6 - Minimum: 6, Total: 64
• Sit Ups - 11,11,11,11,11,11,11,12 - Minimum: 11, Total: 89

Falling behind

Failed to pick a workout, so we got another random at-gym selection.

21-15-9 Rep rounds for Time:

• Box Jumps
• DB Swings - 35#
• Lunges x each leg
• Knees to Elbows
• Run 400M

Results:

• Seth - 13:14, 25" box

You can thank ME,

but credit goes to the random selector. I was sure it was going to give us a killer met-con today, but it kindly suggested a little maximum effort work instead.

"Roy" - 5 Rounds For Time:

• 15 Deadlifts - 225 lbs
• 20 Box Jumps - 24" box
• 25 Pull-Ups

Marine Corps Sgt. Michael C.

He is survived by his wife Amy and three children, Michael, Landon and Olivia.

Results:
Seth - 27:04, as Rx'd

Effects of fatigue

Went into the gym today without a plan; this workout got picked for some reason. First round was WAY easier than the remainder.

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

• 5 Deadlifts - 275 lbs
• 10 Handstand Push-Ups
• 15 Weighted Dips - BW + 25 lbs

Results:

• Seth - 4 Rds, as Rx'd
• Todd - 3 Rds + 10 Dips, sub 7 reps @ 95# DL, toes-on-bar HSPU, unweighted dips

Three cubed?

This was last posted as five sets of each, but in the interest of time, I think three sets of each type will be sufficient.

• Overhead Squats - 3,3,3
• Front Squats - 3,3,3
• Back Squats - 3,3,3

Results:
Seth -

• OHS: 135,155,175

More treadmill trouble?

Guess the random selector thinks we didn't run enough yesterday. At least this is one we haven't seen in a while.

AMRAP in 20 minutes:

• Run 400m
• 10 Hang Squat Cleans - 95#
• 10 L-Pull-Ups

Results:

• Seth - 5 Rounds + ~100M

Fran Overboard?

This workout prescription is essentially "Fran" plus rowing. As we don't have access to a rower, we'll have to do the running substitute as suggested by HQ.

"090901" - For Time:

• Row 1000 meters (run 1 mile)
• 21 Thrusters - 95 lbs
• 21 Pull-Ups
• Row 750 meters (run 0.5 mile)

Major vs Minor

We really should attempt the "Ursa Major" form of this one someday (135# Complexes, Ring push-ups), but I am not feeling it today.

"Ursa Minor" - 5 Rounds For Time:

• 5 Bear Complex - 115 lbs
• 10 Burpulls
• 15 Chest-Slap push-ups

Bear Complex: Power clean to front squat to push press to back squat to push press. Catch the bar on the first push press in the back rack position, then back squat it. For this workout, try not to squat-clean-thruster. The squats and presses should be separate movements.

Burpull: Burpee to pull-up

Results:

• Seth - 25:42, as Rx'd

From a video?

I think I added this workout to the spreadsheet a couple of years back based on a demonstration video. I think it was father/son challenge...

"Little Andy" 30-25-20 Rep Rounds For Time:

• Wall-Ball - 20# Ball or 20# DB Thrusters
• Box Jumps

Can't you split that up?

NO!
You have to do all 100 before changing exercises. Really.

"Angie" - For Time (Do 100 reps before changing exercises)

• 100 Pull-ups
• 100 Push-ups
• 100 Sit-ups
• 100 Squats

Lost in Contention

The What Press?

We don't often have to fight the crowds for use of the bench. Guess we'll need to stake a claim on it and the squat rack today.

• Bench Press - bodyweight
