If you want more after the AMRAP…Row 2K for time.  I think if we could name this workout it would be called the “Jill”.

 GaryD congratulations on the muscle-up.  Sorry I missed the cake.

Some members were asking about strength programs in addition to the WODs.  Here is a great article from CrossFit entitled “Strength Bias” (http://journal.crossfit.com/2009/02/crossfit-strength-bias.tpl).

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 of Armor’.  It was renamed ‘Murph’ in honor of Mike.
