“Murph” is a classic CrossFit Hero WOD honoring Navy Lieutenant Michael P. “Murph” Murphy, who was killed in Afghanistan June 28, 2005. The WOD, originally called “Body Armor,” was Murph’s favorite, and it was renamed for him posthumously. The “Murph” WOD is traditionally done on Memorial Day Monday in honor of him and the others who have given their lives in service of their U.S. military duties.
