THE WORKOUT
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." We will honor a 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. His final mission was immortalized in the movie "Lone Survivor."
The workout itself is, like most of our workouts, only as tough as you make it. Those that truly want to challenge themselves will do the entire workout, while those who aren't looking to go crazy can either do a half Murph or a quarter Murph. You can 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. Per usual, running can be exchanged with rowing/biking and any and all movements can be modified.

Food: We'll be providing pulled pork, brisket and corn bread from Smoque BBQ, so bring a big appetite!
