About Michael P. Murphy

A team of 4 Navy SEALs led by LT. Michael P. Murphy on a mission to capture or kill a key Taliban leader, found themselves seriously outnumbered in a firefight with well over 100 enemy troops. Pinned down and under intense enemy fire, their communications operator severely wounded, they were in desperate need for help. Due to the mountainous terrain, their communications could not be received. Understanding the situation, LT. Michael P. Murphy moved to open exposing himself to enemy fire, to use his satellite phone to request immediate support to save his team. LT Murphy was mortally wounded making that call. They continued fighting until Lt. Murphy and two of his three team mates were mortally wounded. His fourth team member, severely injured himself, managed to escape where he was taken in by a local villager until he was rescued 4 days later. He went on to tell the story in a book titled “The Lone Survivor”.

For his selfless leadership, courageous actions and extraordinary devotion to duty, LT. Michael P. Murphy received the Medal of Honor, the first service member to receive the medal in Operation Enduring Freedom, and the first Navy recipient of the medal since Vietnam.

Warm-Up

Take time to COMPLETELY warm up...even break out the rings for some dips! Track is open for a nice warm-up lap! DO IT...you know who you are!

A WOD

“The Bear Complex”
5 Rounds of 7 reps of:
1 Power Clean
1 Front Squat
1 Push Press
1 Back Squat
1 Push Press

Post loads.

Review each movement thoroughly.  Each combination of the five movements is considered one repetition.  You will be completing 7 repetitions in one set, increasing the weight, and then completing a total of 5 work sets.  This is NOT a timed workout, this is for max weight only.  Rest as needed between sets, but the bar is NOT allowed to touch the ground during your 7 reps.
Some rules to note:
The Power Clean and Front Squat are 2 different movements.  You may squat clean the bar but you still must perform a Front Squat.  You may deadlift and then perform a hang power clean.  The push press may be combined with either the front or back squat which results in a thruster.  Push/split jerks are also allowed.  Start with a relatively easy weight  and progress. (65#/45#)  Suggest bar sharing and resting while your partner works.


B WOD

"The Baby Bear Complex"

3 Rounds of 7 sets of:
1 Power Clean
1 Front Squat
