Performance
30 Minutes Not for Rounds:
400m Run
30 Double-Unders
3-5 Muscle-Ups

If you’re feeling pretty good after a few rounds, then attempt a max set of Muscle-Ups, stopping one rep shy of a miss.

Fitness
30 Minutes Not for Rounds:
3-10 Ring Dips
:10-:20 Ring Support
20-30 Double-Unders or 40-60 Singles
400m Run

Scale the Dips to the Matador or to Push-Ups as needed. Scale the Ring Support to a support where your feet can touch the floor to take as much load off as needed. Scale the Doubles to half attempts or Singles as needed.

Both the Fitness and Performance versions of today’s conditioning should be performed at around 75-85% intensity. Today’s programming should be challenging and, as it’s not “for time” or “for rounds,” can be used as an opportunity to dial in some higher skill gymnastics positions without the demands of the clock. Enjoy!

The Countdown Begins: Murph Day 2017!

We’re now just 12 days away from Murph Day! CFSBK and many other affiliates do “Murph” on Memorial Day in memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. (If you’d like to learn more about Michael Murphy and where this workout comes from, this is a great place to start.) This is one of our biggest and best community events of the year, when we perform this classic CrossFit benchmark workout followed by some grilling, side dishes, and beers. What are you waiting for? Sign up here! 

There are lots of reasons to sign up. It’s fun day! It feels good to complete such a challenging workout! There will be cool t-shirts! But most importantly, we’ll be raising money to benefit K9s for Warriors, an organization that provides service dogs for veterans suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disability, traumatic brain injury and/or military sexual trauma as a result of military service post-9/11. Founded in 2011 by Shari Duval with the hopes of pairing 12 Warrior-Canine teams a year, the program has graduated over 263 Warrior/canine teams. 90% of the dogs in the program come from rescue shelters or are owner-surrendered.

You can learn more about the program and read success stories on the K-9s for Warriors website. While there is no charge for this workout, and no class will be deducted from your weekly limit, we do suggest that you make a donation to K-9s in lieu of class payment.

“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.

SIGN UP HERE!
