Push Press
3 x 10
Go heavier than last week. If you went too heavy last week and moved poorly, or straight up failed, then use the same weight and make the 10 reps perfect. Perform each rep as its own event, focusing on moving from a solid rack to a stable overhead position. Hold each rep overhead for a 2 count before recovering.

3 Rounds for Time:
500m Row
15 Russian Kettlebell Swings 32/24kg

This triplet should be performed today at about an 85% pace, something that feels like you could have pushed harder and/or maintained for 5 rounds.

Murph Day 2017: Sign Up Now!
“Murph”
For time:
1 Mile Run
100 Pull-Ups
200 Push-Ups
300 Squats
1 Mile Run
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.
There is no charge for the workout, nor will it be deducted from your weekly class limit.
