What Is the Murph Workout?

“Murph” is a CrossFit Hero workout honoring U.S. Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.

Every Memorial Day, gyms across the country complete this workout as a tribute to his sacrifice and to honor all who have served.

The Murph Workout (Rx Version)

For time:

• 1-mile run
• 100 pull-ups
• 200 push-ups
• 300 air squats
• 1-mile run

You can break up the pull-ups, push-ups, and squats as needed.

A weight vest (20 lb for men / 14 lb for women) is traditional, but not required.

Murph for Beginners (Scaling Options Available)

New to Murph? No problem.

We’ll have scaling options available so anyone can participate, including:

• Reduced reps
• Ring rows instead of pull-ups
• Elevated or modified push-ups
• Shorter run distances

Our goal is simple: meet you where you are and help you get through the workout safely.

Why Do Murph on Memorial Day?

Murph is more than just a workout.

It’s a way to:

• Honor those who gave their lives in service
• Push yourself physically and mentally
• Be part of something bigger than yourself

There’s a different energy in the room on Memorial Day. You feel it.
