Murph is a challenging workout that honors  Michael Murphy. If you saw the movie Lone Survivor, you know all about the Michael Murphy story. Murph first appeared on the crossfit.com site on 8/18/2005. Here is the explanation from CrossFit:

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.
