Memorial Day “Murph”
This Monday is Memorial Day and would have been the gym’s 13th year doing our annual “Memorial Day Murph” event. Every May since 2008 the CFSBK community has come together to commemorate the holiday by performing the CrossFit benchmark workout dedicated to Lt. Michael Murphy. This workout is both physically and mentally taxing and is used as a means to honor those who have served and fallen as well as to meditate on the human cost of war. It’s not uncommon to have well over 100 members come out to do a version of the workout then enjoy some side walk grilling, share food they brought, and maybe drink a beer or two with friends while watching subsequent heats get after it. We’ll definitely miss hanging out with you all at the gym this year, but like everything else in 2020, this year is different. Instead of our annual event, we’ll offer some recommendations for DIY versions as well as host one Locked & Loaded class on Monday at noon, which will do a Murph inspired workout followed by a DIY run. (Monday’s Yoga class and Kids classes are also still on) Read on for more details.
DIY “Murph”
If you’d like to get after it on your own and do a more traditional version of the workout, we recommend checking out the suggestions made by our friends and fellow CFSBKers at Beyond the Whiteboard. They’ve put together a few versions depending on what equipment you may or may not have access to. While we know “Murph” is much more fun with friends, given the pandemic the gym will not be organizing or endorsing that folks get together to do it. Instead, use it as an opportunity to get through the workout with only your own thoughts and intrinsic motivation. The workout is already known for its many variations such as wearing a vest or not and various rep scheme arrangements, so especially if you’ve done this workout many times, make the most of it and consider it a psychological variation for an unprecedented time. We would love to hear from everyone who does it! Post your stories on Instagram and @ the gym and so we can repost all the folks doing it out in the wild!
Beyond the Whiteboard: “Murph” Quarantined Options
Monday Group Class Variation
On Monday we will only be running one virtual class at 12pm. We will warm-up and do a 20 Minute AMRAP of:
5e Dumbbell Bent Over Rows
10 Push-Ups
15 Squats
After the AMRAP ends, we’ll end class and you guys can finish out the a 1, 1.5 or 2 mile run/jog depending on personal ability. We recommend you plan your route out ahead of time. Tuesday’s workout will work in some recovery movement to ease you back in after the high volume workout. Hope to see ya’ll there!

How to Have a Safer Pandemic Memorial Day NY Times
I don’t suppose us early birds could get a 9 AM class on Monday? If not, see y’all at noon!
Sorry we figured we’d just run one “Murph” to keep it all contained.. see you at noon!!
Had a great zoom workout today! My terribly stubbed toe is still black and blue, but today’s workout didn’t hurt it. I think I’ll be able to run by Monday!
Pushups have definitely gone, but I managed 5-7 each round. Maybe I’ll do 10 push-ups from the knees on Monday to keep the volume up for the Murph AMRAP.
I wish we could go to the gym.
Allie you can also just wrap the bad foot over the top of your good one to do normal push-ups. But knees are fine too!
Lol, it wasn’t the toe that was the problem. It was the atrophied arm strength! :X
Anyone thinking of doing the muphesque zoom class in the park?
