// WHAT IS BODY ARMOR / MURPH?
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". Every year we complete this workout 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. We complete a hero WOD every year to honor the fallen and pay tribute to our bravest Americans.
