“Tipsy”...

Teams of 2 complete AMRAP 20:

300 Meter Row (Each person)

20 Partner Handstand Push Ups

Each team member completes 300M row. Rowing must be completed before moving on to handstand push-ups

Only one athlete can do handstands at a time. Handstand push ups must be completed before moving back to the row.

Partner handstand push ups are when two athletes hold the ankles of one athlete as he or she performs the handstand push up. The supporting team members may help and assist by lifting the ankles.

Cash Out - 15 minutes of Mobility. I need to do more of that!

Very slow today. Felt like I was under water. Legs still smoked from 12.5 and "Murph". I guess a bad workout is better than none at all.

"Murph"...

For time:

1 mile Run

100 Pull ups

200 Push ups

300 Squats

1 mile Run

Break up the Pull ups, Push ups, and Squats as needed. You must start and end with the 1-mile Runs.

40:04 Rx - (2:17 PR)

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.

A warship bearing the name of the Medal of Honor recipient was christened Saturday May 7th, 2011 — on what would have been Murphy's 35th birthday — at Bath Iron Works, where the destroyer was built.

Erida: The Goddess Hate

The wearisome goddess, Erida, or Hate, can best be invoked by reading the opening lines of Book 11 of The Iliad. After Dawn sheds her gentle light on mortals and immortals alike, Zeus sends Hate to the encampment of the Akhaians (Achaians). She stands on the centermost of the beached vessels and SCREAMS!!! The hearts of the soldiers are hardened as they awaken. They no longer remember their fathers or their wives and children. They rise from their beds with Hate ringing in their ears. In their hearts, they long for the sweetness of battle. Only blood will dispel the sanguine thrust of Hate.

Hate entered into the battle, small at first, but as she strode forward, she grew and grew, until her head reached the heavens. She cast down bitterness and vile hatred on both armies as she moved through the fighting. Sister and companion of the brutal war god, Ares, her wrath is unyielding (Iliad, book 4, line 440).

After 9 reps are completed, the athlete will begin their next round.

Every rep counts in this workout. Credit will be given for partially completed rounds.

Movement Standards

This workout begins from the standing position with the barbell loaded to the starting weight. In the Snatch, the barbell goes directly from the ground to overhead in one motion without stopping at the shoulders. This can be a muscle snatch, a power snatch, a squat snatch or a split snatch. A clean and jerk is not permitted.

Additional Notes

Please be sure to watch the entire workout instruction video above for full details. Each rep will be counted once the athlete clearly shows control of the barbell overhead. The athlete must be responsible for loading their own barbell to the appropriate loads during the workout. The same barbell must be used for the entire workout and they may not receive assistance when changing the loads. Using additional pre-loaded barbells is not permitted.

Equipment - To complete this workout you will need:
•One barbell
•Collars
•Plates to load to the appropriate weights for your gender and age group
