Dear CrossFit Suffolk Family,

Memorial Day is 2 weeks away!   You’ve been working hard and doing all the things you need to do to have a successful “MURPH” or a scaled version of the workout.  The preparation work continues this week.

Starting on the Thursday before Memorial Day (the main days will be Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th) we’ll be doing the hero workout, “Murph”: 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 1-mile run.  You may partition the exercises however you like.  This is to say you may divide the exercises into groups.  We suggest 20 rounds of “Cindy” (20 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 squats)  If you’re doing the “RX” version of the workout you must run the mile before doing any exercises and run the mile again when you are done doing the pull-ups, push-ups and squats.  It is also suggested you wear a weighted vest or body armor (for the military and law enforcement communities).

For those unfamiliar or inexperienced we offer 2 scaled versions of “Murph”:  “Half Murph”, 800-meter run, 50 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, and 150 squats, 800-meter run OR “Quarter Murph”: 400-meter run, 25 pull-ups, 50 push-ups and 75 squats, 400-meter run.  There is something for anyone.  We have sign-ups so we can better manage the schedule.  We usually get participants from outside CrossFit Suffolk as well as the majority of our members.

Lt Michael P. Murphy was a Navy SEAL who was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28th 2005.  “Murph” placed himself in danger so he could get his team rescued.  You can read more about Michael Murphy and how he made the ultimate sacrifice by clicking HERE.  Michael Murphy was from Patchogue.  Watch Lone Survivor to learn more about Michael Murphy’s heroics.
