For Time:
30 Clean and Jerks 135/95
The Cleans for this benchmark workout should be Power Cleans and the Jerks can be done using any shoulder-to-overhead technique. Be sure to come to complete knee and hip extension with the bar held overhead at the top of each rep. If you can do the Rx’d loads, then go for it! If scaling, choose a weight that allows you to get through the 30 reps fast. You can cycle or you can do single,s but the weight should be on the light side for you.

“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.
Sign up information will be up on the blog soon!
