This week is all about MURPH. We are publishing early because we know a lot of people will be doing the workout on Monday. 

We get into the weeds with MURPH. Some of the myths, how to prepare and executing the workout. If you are doing MURPH this weekend or anytime definitely check this one out. Who better to give MURPH advice than from the guy who did it every saturday for a year??

LT. Michael P. Murphy (SEAL) was the officer-in-charge of a four-man SEAL element in support of Operation Red Wings, tasked with finding a key anti-coalition militia commander near Asadabad, Afghanistan. A fierce gun battle ensued on the steep face of the mountain between the SEALs and a much larger enemy force. Moving away from the protective mountain rocks, he knowingly exposed himself to increased enemy gunfire to radio his position to SOF Quick Reaction Forces. Though injured, LT. Murphy fought on, allowing one member of his team (Marcus Luttrell) to escape, before he was killed. For his selfless actions, LT. Michael Murphy was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor on October 27, 2007. We honor his sacrifice and memory though The Murph Workout.

This week we have Tim Crockett. Here is an exert from this site and what he is doing.

"My name is Tim Crockett and I’m going to row a 23ft boat, 'The Kraken', across the Atlantic ocean.

I'm doing this for very good reason: as a holder of both American and British passports, and being a Special-Forces veteran, I am painfully aware that many US and UK soldiers are struggling with depression, anxiety, alienation and thoughts of suicide brought on by PTSD. The journey I face is my way to raise awareness, educate and to start connecting those who need help with those that are there to provide assistance.

My pending journey is to take part in the 2018 Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, a race of more than 3,000 nautical miles from the Canary Islands to Antigua across the Atlantic Ocean. Considered by some to be one of the toughest challenges on earth. To put it into perspective, more people have scaled Everest or have journeyed into space than have rowed across the Atlantic. Even fewer have rowed it solo.

While I’ll be alone in the Atlantic, I need your help to get me there and by doing so you will be helping many other tame their own personal 'Kraken'."

This week we have Dr Anthony Jay. He is currently at the Mayo clinic researching stem cells in epigenetic. He is also the best selling author of Estrogeneration. 

So of course we talk about epigenetic, then some DNA consulting, and changing your genes through fitness. We also dabble in testosterone, his top 10 estrogen related things to avoid, and MORE.

This week we have Dr Cake Shanahan who specializes in the promotion of health and reversal of disease using traditional food as a first line of treatment. She is also the author of Deep Nutrition (highly recommend picking up).

We talk about the science of burning fat and why some diets work for some people but not others. Also how your mitochondria could be sick which is why you can't burn fat or cause certain diseases and how to fix them (spoiler, less carbs). 

She gives us a sneak peak on her next book that is still in the publishing phase so this is a great opportunity.
