If you think you can’t do “Murph”, think again!
“Murph” is known as one of CrossFit’s hardest Hero WODs. It’s done in honor of fallen LT Michael P. Murphy, U.S. Navy, often on Memorial Day– as is the case at CrossFit9. (Read more about the life and service of LT Murphy here.)
For time:
1 mile Run
100 Pull-ups
200 Push-ups
300 Squats
1 mile Run
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.
Our Road to Murph series will help you get ready for Murph, as well as scale (or modify) accordingly so you’re appropriately challenged. Today Coach Megan shares her tips on scaling the push-ups.
Commit to “Murph” 2018!
