S01 (SEAL) Jason Dale Lewis was killed by an IED while conducting combat operations in Southern Baghdad July 6, 2007. We name this workout "Jason" in honor of his life, family, and courage. Donna, Jack, Max, and Grace, we'll forget neither your husband and father nor your sacrifice and loss. Fair winds, Jason.

whats an alternative to muscle ups if u don't have rings

Comment #5 - Posted by: Mike at August 1, 2007 5:25 PM

God bless you Jason and rest in peace.

Comment #6 - Posted by: brian t at August 1, 2007 5:26 PM

#5 Mike,

1 muscle up is equal to 3 pull ups and 3 bar dips. I don't have rings either so looks like I will be doing plenty of pull ups and bar dips.

Comment #7 - Posted by: bladeboy at August 1, 2007 5:28 PM

I love hero workouts. Always inspirational and body wrecking. Thank you for your service and God bless

Comment #8 - Posted by: VT Dave at August 1, 2007 5:29 PM

For Jason and his family, going to storm through this.

He's fallen, you aren't, go hard.

Comment #9 - Posted by: Angry G at August 1, 2007 5:32 PM

I read the workout and started to whine in my head about all the dips today and pull ups yesterday and that we had to do so many more tomorrow....then I read the dedication. First thought, stop crying you baby. Second thought, I am going to attack this tomorrow with reckless abandon.

Thank you Jason.

Saw the WOD and reflex cursed.

"What's wrong, Honey?"

"It's a hero work-out."

"You're saying that because you're wrecked from these last couple of days and the hero work-outs are really tough, huh?"

"Uh, no. It's a NEW hero work-out. A SEAL died."

"I'm sorry..."


#9: "He's fallen, you aren't, go hard." Amen, Angry G, amen. So tomorrow I will approach "Jason", filled with awe and respect for your courage and sacrifice. With a heavy but resolute heart, 3-2-1...Go

Comment #11 - Posted by: bingo at August 1, 2007 5:47 PM

Thank you Jason Lewis.

Comment #12 - Posted by: Jason at August 1, 2007 5:51 PM

Was planning on taking a day off tomorrow. No chance of that happening.


Rest in peace Jason and god bless his loved ones.

Comment #13 - Posted by: will g at August 1, 2007 5:53 PM

Another reason to do muscle ups, to honor Jason Lewis.

Comment #14 - Posted by: Mikki Lee Martin at August 1, 2007 6:02 PM

I was thinking of not doing a WOD tomorrow and rather working my lifts but how can I not in Jason's honor. May he rest in peace. May comfort come to those near and dear!

Comment #15 - Posted by: sarena at August 1, 2007 6:04 PM

the Jumping (Bar) Muscle-Up may be considered a fair substitute for those, like myself, who have discovered that multiple (here is a total of 50!!) Muscle-Ups are just a tad beyond their fitness level.

Comment #16 - Posted by: John Messano at August 1, 2007 6:05 PM

Rest in peace Jason. All the best to his family. I am looking forward to do this for Jason with great pride and respect.

Comment #17 - Posted by: Trebor at August 1, 2007 6:07 PM

I have been doing crossfit for about two months now and love it. I find myself with the time to work out twice a day, but am concerned about overtraining if I complete the WOD twice a day. does anyone have any ideas about this? Recently I have been doing the WOD for my first session and then working on similar muscle groups with technique/form improving exercises during my second session.

Comment #18 - Posted by: Chuck T at August 1, 2007 6:08 PM

#18,

Doing the WOD twice a day will lead to overtraining without a doubt. Do you have any other sporting interests you could pursue? Completing the WOD and then focusing on other sporting interests at another time in the day is probably the way to go. If the WOD isn't intense enough, scale it so that it is.

I don't think there's an issue with working on exercise technique in addition to a WOD, but repeatedly thrashing the same muscle groups doesn't leave much time for recovery.

My .02 - pick up a sport.

Kuna,
We need to see if the Rec Center will post these Hero WODs for the public to see and honor.

Comment #22 - Posted by: Garth/32/M/200 at August 1, 2007 6:23 PM

I was thinking about taking tomorrow off after 4 days of training, but I will go at this full force tomorrow in honor of Jason.

Comment #23 - Posted by: nadia shatila at August 1, 2007 6:23 PM

Thank you Jason and family for your service.

Chuck T... if you try to do two WODs in a day you'll crash and burn in a week or two. Do warm-ups that will improve your technique. Have fun.

Comment #24 - Posted by: Speal at August 1, 2007 6:24 PM

I think it's amusing to find so many wanted to take the day off Thursday and changed their mind when they found out it's a hero workout. I'm in the same boat.

It's the least that I could do to honor someone that gave their life.

Fair winds.

“Crossfitters, I too have a toast. I would direct your attention to the workout that has been set for those hero's who have gone before us. The military way of life is filled with much symbolism. The workout provides a way to tell us that members of our profession, whom we call “brothers”, are unable to be with us this evening. It is set for one, yet there are many represented by this workout. Those who have died so that we may live, our former comrades who have earned the glory and have given to us the respect and pride that we, as Americans, hold so dear.” ... “Let us honor our fellow comrades, who have gone before. Ladies and Gents, a toast!"

Comment #29 - Posted by: Gonzo at August 1, 2007 6:38 PM

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
-Longfellow

Jason, may God bless you and your family. On behalf of me and all of my CrossFitting friends at Fort Hood. Thank you and your family for your sacrifice.

#8 I too love the workouts, but I grow tired of seeing more names added to the list. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and comrades in arms. Words alone cannot do justice in describing how much you all are appreciated and I hope you all come home soon. Rest well Jason and God bless.

I just found a "virtual guestbook" where you can leave a message for fallen soldiers' families and loved ones including Jason (I actually found one of my fallen friends on there as well).

It is: http://www.legacy.com/Soldier/Home.aspx

Just type Jason Lewis in the search and it will take you there.

Someday I will die in a hospital or in the comfort of my home of old age or cancer. Janson died as a warrior expects. He is a hero and I thank him. Bless you Jason.

No words, just sadness and sincere appreciation. Thank you, buddy. Thank you.

Comment #44 - Posted by: CraigH at August 1, 2007 7:27 PM

First, rest in peace Jason.

#18
If you're going to be working out twice, add in some running, basketball, swimming etc. Work on another sport. Or maybe add in some more "traditional" weight lifting but with very little volume. Two WOD's will result in overtraining fast. The only time I ever think about two WOD's is if I miss maybe something like a Cindy and it's a max power day, so I'll do the 7x3 or whatever it is, then the Cindy.

Comment #45 - Posted by: Derek at August 1, 2007 7:29 PM

Lewis was a good friend of mine. He drank deep from the well of life. I miss him every time I sit down to have a Guinness or cast a fly or see a...less than normal tattoo. His hard work at every task was something to marvel at. He drank in knowledeg as others breathe air. Aside from being an exceptional SEAL, he was an exceptional friend, father, and husband. He was tough enough to take on the whole bar, yet refined enough to wear that stupid sweater-vest. Thanks for dedicating a workout to him and making his sacrifice known. As each of you go through this workout, know that if Lewis were with you he would be going to his max, passing Pukie on the way and giving it everything he had to beat you. What a man!

Comment #46 - Posted by: NikH at August 1, 2007 7:31 PM

It gives me a lot of pride to know that tomorrow all the sweat and pain will be in dedication and remembrance to a fallen soldier who gave his life protecting what he loves.
I have just begun crossfit last week and its inspiring to see everyone in such great spirits.

Comment #52 - Posted by: TAW at August 1, 2007 7:40 PM

#49 WOD's are always very specific in their descriptions. If they don't specify a weight, then you are simply doing unweighted squats. It might seem easy without weight, but you'll see that isn't the case. Hope this helps.

Comment #53 - Posted by: Ryan at August 1, 2007 7:42 PM

Comment #54 - Posted by: jimmiepop at August 1, 2007 7:44 PM

For all my fallen soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen I will be giving all of my wits to this exercise tomorrow. We should all personally say thanks to the familys of fallen military members, for the sacrifices that hey gave to this country too. Thank you so much to Jason for being such an outstanding sailor. My uncle was a Seal in vietnam, and he would be proud to know of an exercise dedicated to one of hiw fellow comrades. Thanks for all you have done, and may you rest in peace while your family and country remembers everything you have did for them
hooah!!!, and for you Hooyah!

Many of us here have lost friends we've served with, and some we haven't. It is never easy to lose a brother in arms. We all need to say a Prayer for those who have made the utimate sacrifice for this great country. As well as for those who are still out there doing the business. To all those out there, no matter branch nor job, hold your head hi brothers and sisters. I toast in your name!

Get some for God & Country!

I am very proud that the Glassman's honor fallen warriors with these WODs.
Thank you Greg and Lauren for giving us the chance to honor Jason Lewis with a WOD.
To Jason's family: I am very saddened by your loss.
I know that your sacrifice did not start with the loss of your husband, father, son -- that you have sacrificed over the course of years so that he could be a warrior, doing what he must have loved and believed in.
I acknowledge and respect you for your dedication and strength in supporting him so that he could serve our country.
God Bless You and take care of you always.

Death is nothing at all.
It does not count.
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Everything remains as it was.
The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no sorrow in your tone.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.

RIP, SO1 Lewis

I have reviewed the FAQ, but I could not find an answer, so maybe someone can help me. Is the sub for muscle ups still 3:1 if you do the PU and dips on rings? I have never done a MU, but I am working hard in that direction.

Thanks for any advice.

It is with a heavy heart that I post today. I did not know Jason Lewis personally however I am surrounded by friends who did and I am only sorry that I never got the chance to meet him and his family. As a navy wife I am brought to tears by what has been left behind....a wife...3 children...and many many people whom loved him dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all...may God guide you through this tough time and may you rest assured Jason is flying high beside his maker keeping an eye on us all.

We posted this on our site and wanted to share it....(you may have to cut and paste it to your browser)

"When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

[Chorus]
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

[Repeat chorus]

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going"

Farewell and Following Seas Brother Lewis, we have the watch now. God Bless and we will see you soon.
I unlike most on this post was not going to rest tomorrow, but was not expecting a hero workout at all. I will do it with Pride and Conviction and maybe I will meet Pukie for the first time tomorrow! Good Luck to everyone tomorrow. I will give my all because you gave yours Jason. Tomorrow is yours and not mine.

Comment #71 - Posted by: Brian McGlynn at August 1, 2007 9:03 PM

Hey, new to this but am very interested. Am a fire recruit and we have been doing similar workouts. My question is for muscle ups do you do 3 chinups and than 3 dips or alternate them 1 chinup than one dip. Also for squats what kind of weight should i use. Wher on the site do I find this info. Thks for your help. Rest in peace Jason, you are a true hero.

The substitution for the muscle up is 4 pull-ups and 4 dips per muscle up...

Comment #76 - Posted by: wtp at August 1, 2007 9:17 PM

cfwu x2
today's wod--26'50"
subbed 200 close grip pushups for ring dips-dips exacerbate an old rotator injury
took forever to finish hspu after 250 pushups

then, unwisely did 20 min of L pullups/hg sits that i missed the other day-my body is completely wiped out-more triple digit pullups and pushups tomorrow as no rings prevents mu's
oh, to have the recovery of a 20 yr old again.
3.....,2.....,1....., go.....

Comment #77 - Posted by: mtvet at August 1, 2007 9:22 PM

Yup the subs seem to be:
3 bar pullup + 3 bar dip
4 bar pullup + 4 bar dip
3 bar/ring pullup + 2 ring dip
or
1 bar muscle up, keeping in mind that
kipping bar < kipping rings < dead hang rings < dead hang bar
in terms of difficulty (dead hang bar being hardest).

I will see if I can kip some bar MU's, otherwise I'll just do the 3/3 sub.

God speed Jason and all the best to his family.

Don't have the height in room to do muscle up. If it ask for 5 muscle up would 5 ring dips and 15 pulls up be the same or does it need to be 15 rings dips?

Thanks.

P.S.

Thank you Jason and you will not be forgotten.

My heart goes out to all of you. What an amazing man to give so much to those he doesn't even know. My husband is in Iraq right now too and I anxiously await his return...only 40 days for us. I will push myself so hard tomorrow and when I get tired I will remember that Jason gave it his all. Thank you and thank you to the family for such an incredible man!! A~

First and foremost, RIP Jason and thanks for all that you and every single other service member does overseas and at home to perserve the freedoms that we hold so dear and that unfortunately many take for granted. I as well as many others will be giving everything tomorrow because no pain can compare to yours or your families.

Comment #87 - Posted by: tjh at August 1, 2007 10:58 PM

my heart and prayers go out to you.

Tomorrow will hurt, as above in comment 82 by JPANG,
If I think of giving up, getting tired, I will also think of Jason and push on.
Celebrate his life, for he is a true HERO!
Jason, Thank You.

To Jason's family, I hope you can take some comfort in the fact that we're all going to be thinking of him tomorrow. One of the worst things you can do to a person is forget them when they're gone...I won't forget.

subbed muscle ups for 3 PU + 3 bar dips. for the last set of pullups i had to use my legs for support.

did another set of 20 pullups and 20 dips because my effort was nowhere equal to the sacrifice given by Jason and his family. RIP.

Comment #97 - Posted by: Jerry Hill at August 2, 2007 2:42 AM

Any advice on technique for muscle ups? I can't even knock out one. I hope it is not due to lack of strength, I think I am pretty strong at pullups and dips (I can knock out 25 and 60 in succession, respectively). I'm just having a hard time with the transition. I can get from a hang to about mid-ribcage with a big pullup, but I can't make the transition to the pushing up part. Do I just need to get stronger at the component movements or is there some kind of technique I'm missing out on? I watched the video, still can't do one...

If any of the posts have inspired me, it was listening to you say how Lewis would "give it everything he had to beat you." My kind of person. I'm going to get that mu tomorrow, or my arms are going to fall off trying. Thank you!

Thank you to all the military personnel that works so hard each day for all of us and receives so little in return.

#98
I've been trying for weeks to get the mu. When you're strong you tend to want to power through it and there is definitely a technique involved that once you get, I think you will have 10 in a row very quickly. It's just getting that one.

Comment #102 - Posted by: Dana at August 2, 2007 3:39 AM

JB,

One thing that helped me out. When you get to the top of the pull-up, bring the rings in close to your chest, then pull them apart as if you are ripping off your shirt. (Think Hulk-a-mania). As you are doing this, you should naturally lean forward and then your hands and body should be in the down position of ring dip. If you don't maintain the false grip it will be extremely tough to make the transition.

Hopefully this helps.

16:58 - full hip extension squats from Dynamax ball, ring MUs with full elbow extension at top and bottom of movement, rings turned out and away each rep.

Yesterday's 10 minute jerk set on top of the WOD already had my shoulders and triceps sore and fatigued; it was difficult completing the dip portion of the MU the last round of 20. Lots of breaks as needed. Good WOD.

I teared when hearing Taps yet again. I thought I gave you a final salute that day, but I was wrong.

Good wishes to Jason's family, especially his children. My your spirit join with the spirit of justice to defeat those that started this war.

I found an interesting way to simulate muscle ups:

Combine these exercises:

With a parallel grip (palms facing each other with wrists 1/2 way between supination and pronation), pull up with torso curl then move into full inversion while continuing to pull with the arms.

On seated lat pull down cable machine. Use one hand grip on D-handle and pull down, all the way into shoulder extension with elbow behind you. Then "flip the grip" and continue into a tricep extension push-down. Only possible as single arm exercise unfortunately.

These two variations seem to simulate the muscle up in my mind. Any thoughts? Email them to me at jjnnww(at)gmail.com, please.

My modified WOD (M/36/214 lbs)

50 squats
5 pull ups with torso curl
35 squats
5 pull ups into inversion
25 squats
one arm pull down into push down
-- 40 lbs x 5 reps x 2 sets each arm
15 squats
one arm pull down into push down
-- 40 lbs x 10 reps each arm
-- 50 lbs x 10 reps each arm
15 squats
10 dips

Hello, is the 3:1 sub ratio for pullups/dips strictly for a bar? Would it be less if I am using rings, like maybe 2:1? I have access to rings but am still in recovery from shoulder surgery, and doubt I can do much more than a muscle-up or two. Pullups and dips I can manage. Thanks in advance.

I'm in the same boat. Just started these workouts last week, and I was really feeling stiff from the last 2 WODs. It only took reading about Jason and the first couple of posts to motivate me to sack up and do it, though I definitely had to scale it. In my opinion, you should try cutting it back and taking the time you need to complete it. The last 2 sets of pullups for me were all in sets of 3 because I was so wiped.

No rings, can't even try muscle ups on the bar I use for pullups. Subbed jumping chinups 4:1 and bench dips 4:1 for each muscleup. All chins to the sternum.

Found out that 4:1 plus 4:1 was too much since I had to do this prior to grappling class - too wrecked to spar as much as I need to be sparring. Need a different ratio or maybe I can sub in Knees-to-Elbows 3:1 or 4:1; or L-Pullups or weighted dead hangs 1:1, plus the 4:1 for dips. I need to practice all three of those more.

100 squats - unbroken
20 jumping chinups - unbroken
20 bench dips - unbroken
75 squats - unbroken
40 jumping chinups - here out, all sets broken.
40 bench dips

Nice deep stigmata looking wounds on both hands, where I have ripped all the skin of my palms.
Was really a case of blood, sweat and tears this one. But as I say 'Pain is Temporary'

My heart is breaking. It's been a while since Coach and Lauren have posted an in memoriam WOD, and I was overcome with grief at Jason's demise. Maybe what got to me was the picture of his grieving family or perhaps it was the absence of a heart warming Saving Private Ryan story. I don't know, but I'm mad, at whom I can't say: it's that pick a bar fight punch a hole in the wall rage at Jason's death. And, yes, I'm plently mad at the loss of another American warrior blown up by a remote controlled booby trap for trying to stop Iraqis from blowing each other up. Perhaps some day in the future, we'll have a clearer picture of Jason's sacrifice, something catchy like "if you worship, thank God, if you worship in a church, thank a soldier," but right now I'm sick at this endless occupation and its pinprick killing of the best of our best. Jason, you're gone but truly not forgotten. To his family and comrades, his death has deeply affected us at CF, and we will always hold close to our hearts the example of his life and service.

Squats were no problem. MU's were a different story. Last set took 17 min. Last one took three attempts. How tempting it was with 5 to go to bang out 15 pullups and 15 dips and be done with it. The only good news is that I learned a more productive kip that will help a lot in future WODs. Without it I would still be in my garage trying to summon the strength for one more MU.

The type of comments eveyone is leaving to honor Jason is what seperates this website / phylosophy from all the other crap out there. It really is moving to read this and I hope someone gets these threads to Jason's family members so they can see all the kind words everyone is leaving for him.

RIP...what better way to celebrate a fallen soldier than to endure this pain and joy in his honor. Great WOD.

Had AF PT today. After the warmup it was a track workout. Runs were to be performed @ 80% effort:
100m/200m/300m/400m/600m/800m/600m/400m/300m/200m/100m

Sprinted hard on last 200m run.

Good workout, 2.5miles total.

Looking forward to the rest day and getting back on the true WOD schedule.

I have been doing Crossfit for a few months now, and love the results I'm seeing. I play a lot of competitive beach volleyball and though I have seen tremendous vert and forward/backward speed improvements, I am wondering if there are any Crossfit exercises that address lateral explosiveness?

Comment #185 - Posted by: Devin at August 2, 2007 9:42 AM

I get emotional about few things, but my eyes well up every time there is a new Hero workout. At the same time I feel a pride well up within me to know that there are men out there who are not only willing to die so that I may be free, but who literally give their lives to training so that I can sit in the comfort of my home and not worry about the fight coming to me. These are true warriors. Words can not explain the gratitude I hold for Jason and men like him, who run toward the sound of gunfire on my behalf. Thank you. Thank you to his family for supporting him, and please know that many, many thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope we can make our lives worthy of your sacrifice, by always pursuing excellence, and continuing to defend –especially here at home- the freedom you worked so hard to provide.
Hooyah!

Coach, thanks for honoring REAL heroes with workouts, and thanks for making them hard. It’s a good reminder of how hard these elite warriors put out every day.

Deepest sympathies to Jason and his family. Thank you for all that you are and continue to be.

I was feeling guilty after yesterdays WOD. I must confess that many of my push ups were dishonest (the last 5 or so). And lets not mention the HSPUs. I did wake up sore and sorry, so I must have done some work.

I am two weeks into crossfit, and I have been doing my absolute best to do the WOD as rx'd. Today Jason gives me the opportunity to make up for my laziness yesterday. I will finish as rx'd even if it takes all night.

RIP Jason.

Thank you Jason for letting us be FREE to write, work and live free. None of us want to be in a war but we don't want to live in fear. Freedom has a big price. Let us pray that we can go back to giving our workout's female names and not for those who have sacrificed their lives for us.

Not in the cards for this 40 year old body today with already shredded upper body muscle fibers. So I did:

i have a couple things to say after crossfitting for a couple weeks. after doing 120 pullups wednesday, dips, pushups, hspu's yesterday. doing muscle-ups today does not give your muscle enough recovery time. training on muscles that are not recovered is not healthy. also, i know that you can't moan about things that are free. but, i vote for a push to get wod's at 3-5 days at a time. everyone's workout days and hectic schedules don't always work on 3 days on, 1 off. please email comments. i still love crossfit.

My kids got up this morning like all other mornings, shuffled out and asked, sleepy eyed, what the WOD was. I told them it was a new Hero workout and they soberly asked to see the board. We warmed up, worked out and not once did they complain. It reminded me that they never complain during a Hero WOD.
We are proud to honor the fallen by putting our all into it. Thanks Coach for giving us the opportunity.

Comment #228 - Posted by: EnDeR at August 2, 2007 12:10 PM

what a long slog that turned into.
55:08 but switched to a jumping muscle up at the halfway point. The first 15 muscle ups were okay but dropped off dramatically so after 15-20 failed attempts I lowered the rings to just above head height and jumped off the ground a bit.

good side was the fact that the last time the 30 muscle ups for time came it was nearly 2 hrs for me.

If you are dissatisfied with the methodology, go somewhere else.

Jason--God bless you for your service and sacrifice. Fair winds and following seas.

To the Lewis family: please accept my most heartfelt condolences on the loss of your husband and father. Know that every time we do this workout named in his honor, we carry a little piece of him in our hearts--we'll never forget the sacrifice he made.

CFWU x 3 (10 reps, minus pull-ups and dips, push-ups instead--and tried to make them as "honest" as possible).

Brand X "puppies" mod--for time:

50 squats
9 dips and 9 pull-ups
25 squats
18 dips and 18 pull-ups
15 squats
27 dips and 27 pull-ups
10 squats
36 dips and 36 pull-ups

Dips were "beginner dips" and pull-ups were jumping. Went to the post fitness center to use the Gravitron machine, but it was out of order.

What a workout. I started CF 3 months ago. If someone had told me to do this workout then in ANY amount of time, I would have thought they were a bit off their rocker. Also, I could not have done it.

I am so close to a MU, but don't quite have the technique.

4th WOD in a row and I am spent. Extra motivation provided by a large dose of perspective.

Comment #245 - Posted by: Joel at August 2, 2007 1:21 PM

#219 Bear;

Do your best to complete the WOD’s…If you cannot complete as prescribed (RX’d) just do your best…

In the beginning, it seems that there is no way for your body to recover…it is this heavy randomization that makes this system work…

The complete breakdown of the muscle tissue and the subsequent rebuild when the body is able will develop lean (Efficient) muscle mass creating Crossfit monsters (Not freaks) AKA Speal, Opt, Aft…etc, etc, etc… (Although their posted times are freakishly insane!)

The heavy dosing to specific muscle groups will mandate your body to speed up the recovery process and create a body capable of a more rapid repair than otherwise capable if not pushed to those requirements…

The only way your body will not recover is when you are dead!

This is why we must pay respects to all those out there giving the supreme sacrifice…their lives for the good of others…rest easy young warriors!

#219 Bear,

I have to admit, I thought this was a little cruel, however there is more (much more) to CrossFit than building large showy muscle: doing the same movement over and over on consecutive days is called "greasing the groove" and is an excellent way to facilitate increased neuromuscular efficiency. Look up "Pavel Tatsouline" or "Power to The People" to find out more.

In the kindest possible way, I would like to say you have no idea what you are talking about. You have found the most advanced fitness technology available (for free) to the general public: do some research, try it exactly as prescribed for several months and you will be astounded, assuming you eat right.

You may do 5 on 2 off. Just take a few days off so you are a bit behind first and it will work fine.

I have been riveted by this board today. First time doing a Hero workout. I was moved when I read the dedication last night. Thoughts and prayers to Jason's family and all of our fighting men and women.

Bad timing w/ your comment. Horrible timing..

I started crossfit in early July and I had similar thoughts about overtraining and the schedule. Too many years of reading Mens Health.

Anyway, as a nation, we are obsessed w/ fitness and also the fattest nation in the world. I There is something to be said for pushing yourself and testing your limits. That's what our bodies are made for..

As for the schedule, I love it. I love not worrying about my next workout. It keeps me from making excuses.. Pushing yourself for 3 days makes that day of rest seem like a vacation..

It might not be for everyone.. Just my two cents. Crossfit rocks.

I get this butterfly in my stomach feeling after about 40 dips. I spent all my time on the pull ups and dips. The gym has been full of teenagers/ college students when I go at lunch while school is out. I could see two older boys snickering at the squats while I was snickering as I wached them do curls. Silly silly boys...

To all the Friends and Family of Jason I would like to express my deepest sympathies. I'm sorry I never had the opportunity to know the young man.

I think this is the proudest I have ever been of myself during a crossfit workout. I didn't think I would ever be able to pull out all 50 muscle ups yet I did the whole workout faster than my last 30 muscle ups for time.

The 1st time I did 30 MUs for time I barely broke 30 mins... then..I got my time down to about 12 mins for 30 MUs.. I've never done 50 MUS for time before.. but now I have a baseline...& something to look forward to the next time this one comes up..
Also..if it's a TRIBUTE WOD'... you know it will be one of the toughest..& it should be.Hang in there Dude...you can do it!

40 YO/ F
Just started Crossfit yesterday. My husband is hooked, and we looked the website over together this last weekend. I didn't think I could do any of the stuff in the workouts but I have been studying different exercises enough over the past few years to be able to sub a similar movement that is at my level. Still not sure I will EVER be able to do a MU.

I had never heard of a "hero" workout. I teared up several times reading posts, especially the post from Jason's Mom. She is right, CF is for a particular kind of person. You either get it, and are fanatic about, or you don't. I think it would be super cool to have a WOD done in my honor.

Hey man don't worry about it. I agree with ya. That's why I just did my own thing. I don't follow anything blindly. I question everything. If you look at what most people are doing, they are "subbing" half of this stuff out anyway, so I think it's really an extremely small elite group that are actually able to follow all the WOD's absolutely as RX'd. I take everyone's times and comments with a big grain of salt baby. That being said, I'm doing this because it's a great program. But if any part of it doesn't suit me or if I'm not fully recovered, don't have technique mastered, have an injury, etc..you can bet I'll modify it or skip that workout. You can only benefit from the workouts from which you can recover. Go at your own pace, but embrace the intensity. Look at the WOD's as ideal to work toward. Think long term. Just my 2 cents.

Clearly not a stellar time but it's important to me. I couldn't do a MU the first of the year. Today's 50 MU amounted to 15 more than I have done this whole year. I had the support of this community, 2 good friends who were right beside me honoring Jason Lewis and the desire to get it done. God bless you Jason and your wife and children, David.

#219, CF is designed to get us all prepared for the randomness of what life might throw at us. I certainly don't think you'll hear too many firefighters complain that they have had to climb a ladder on three consecutive days. Sometimes stuff happens that way. If you don't feel fully recovered or have an injury then certainly modify as you see fit.
#275, I disagree that only a few elite are doing the workouts as rx'd. Most that sub are doing so because the load isn't for them yet or the movement/skill isn't there and not, oh I did pull ups yesterday so I'll change it to push ups today.

Godspeed Jason. My deepest sympathies to your family & friends.

#219 Bear - Scaling is a part of Crossfit. Scale as needed. Also, not everyone is here follows 3/1. Some do 3/1/2/1 whatever fits their schedule and ability. If you can't handle 3/1, don't do 3/1. Ultimately, the person in charge of your fitness is you. If you don't agree w/ something, fine - don't do it, but don't ask that the program be changed for you.

Don't be so rigid. There are plenty of archived WOD's if you want to print out a bunch at a time. I recommend you do a lot more reading.

All MU's from a standing posture (not fully hanging) with a little jump. Not enough overhead to set the rings high enough to fully hang from. Otherwise WOD was as Rx'ed. No doubt time would be much longer with full-hang MU's. This was brutal nontheless...

Did "Jason" but I scaled the muscle ups to pull ups (1 muscle up = 1 pull up). All sets were broken (except the first set of pull ups) and all pull ups were dead hang. Probably could have gotten a little bit faster time if I was able to kip, but the pull up station I was at doesn't allow for it.

This workout was rough, but I'm looking forward to trying it again when I have access to my rings.

"Is there a way to assist yourself in doing muscle-ups so you can at least get use to the movement?"

hi Steve - i refer you to the message board for great information on MU technique.

simply, as a jumping pullup utilizes the same muscles and is the same movement as a regular pullup, so it is with a jumping muscle-up.

Bear #219

Your comments and thoughts have been raised many times and in many ways in the nearly two years I've been here. CF is a constantly evolving, eternally questioning process as well as a fitness program. Your question from a program stand point has been asked and answered. As several posters before me have offered, CF like all programs is ultimately a personal program. Your own CF belongs to you and you alone. If you choose to rest when a particular WOD comes up, or if you choose to substitute a totally different work-out no one is going to be terribly critical. I can't do a MU, so I have to sub SOMETHING. I may choose to do Painstorm on Saturday or Sunday instead of the posted WOD. My CF is MY CF, after all. Just remember that the wheel you see has been invented and vetted and tested, and continues to be so. But please remember also that this is a community that you have joined in just the past couple of weeks. Humility and respect are responded to in kind.

Tim #275
"I take everyones times and comments with a big grain of salt baby."
1) Everything after that comment has value, but that sentence and the preceding sentences are needlessly confrontational, a broad-stroke indictment of the community which is unwarranted. Neither humble nor respectful.
2) My numbers are my numbers. I don't give a flying f^(k whether you or anyone else believes them. They provide me with a benchmark for future reference, a use that I am confident is standard here. Got a specific question about a specific number? Lots of people get a call out (remember the questions Speal got before the CF Games?) Your comment and inference is a carpet bomb smear in a surgical strike world.
3) There's supposed to be a comma before the word "baby".

Navy Jim #276
People offer support in many ways. Your suggestion is certainly a welcomed one. But let's not discount the effect that these work-outs have had in raising the awareness, outside of the military community, of the sacrifices that these warriors have made. I wish you could have heard my 18 year old son talking about how he felt when he read the comments today. An awakwening. It was a powerful moment for both of us, a "teachable moment" for me to educate a rather privileged young man about just why it is that he is able to enjoy that privilege.

In addition to Navy Jim's suggestion you'all may wish to consider a donation to www.kiawia.org. This organization, created and run by our very own Kate (jknl) also supports the families of special forces servicemen killed or wounded in action.

I probably sound like a bit of a ninny and a nag, but sheesh folks...especially today...a new Hero WOD. Come on. Elbows off the table, no reaching over your neighbor for the bread, and for heaven's sake say "excuse me" when you burp...

sub'd dips and pullups, 3:1 ratio. I tried to do muscleups for the first set, but couldn't quite get them. I can get my chest above the bar, but I can't seem to get my weight over my hands. I think I need to work on my kipping technique. I almost didn't get to do this one. I'd been looking forward to this workout all day, then as I was walking out the door to the gym my stomach decided it had other ideas. After the feeling passed (along with everything I'd eaten in the last 12 hrs) I finally sucked it up and got it done.

1 hour, 28 minutes and 17 seconds as rx'ed.

This was a tough one for me, today's 50 MU is 15 more than I have cumulatively done this year up to today. It would have been easy to give up part way through but the sacrifice others have made makes my efforts today insignificant. I think this community and having good friends by your side when going through these tough workouts make it possible.

Bingo, your thoughts are right on, I always look for your insights. God bless you Jason Lewis and may your family get through this terrible time. David.

relax bingo, I'm not tryin to confront anyone. Thanks for the grammar lesson though. I take a lot of things in life with a grain of salt, including internet posts. I've found it to be a form of healthy skepticism.
But let's be clear. I think crossfit is great, not perfect, but great. That's why I'm here. So I salute everyone who pushes themself to find their limits. I believe that people posting their times on here are probably largely accurate, and generally I react to seeing these phenomenal performances by pushing myself harder to reach that level.
I actually have never read any of your numbers. So again, no need to be defensive. I was really just encouraging bear #219 not to get too hung up on a strict adherence to the WOD's. Cheers

1 muscle up, and the rest toe tapping muscle ups. And with that, I am into a 5 day rest.

Comment #333 - Posted by: a noble at August 2, 2007 6:54 PM

Just started Xfit over a week ago and can't decide if it was a better investment to do jumping MU's (rings over head) in order to begin training those particular muscles, or to do the 3 PU's, 3 dips. Did the jumping MU's which took forever and detracted from the overall effectiveness of the workout as an ass-kicker. Thoughts?

To #279 (regarding #219 and #275)
Thank you! I am a fire fighter and every once in a while we will have 2,3,4 or even 5+ house fires in 1 day. I wouldn't say "Oh, sorry Mr. and Mrs. Smith, I don't feel like putting your house fire out, I have already done enough" Just when you think that you reach your limit, KEEP GOING. Pain is inevitable (although crossfit helps), suffering from that pain is optional.

I wish I could post one of these silly fast times, but that was the most disgusting workout ever. I just couldn't finish in any way shape or form. I did all the squats, 200 pull-ups (probably 170 jumping) and 150 dips and just had to stop because that took me an hour! Thinking about the DOMS tomorrow is making me nauseated already. Man I got a long way to go.

Jean, mine are one of many who's prayers and thoughts are with you and yours. I am sorry for your loss, and I thank you for your love and courage. Jason's valor bears witness, at least in large part, to growing up with that influence.

Squats all done as RX’d

MU: First 10 as RX’d #10-20 ”jumping”: feet flat on ground arms fully stretched to obtain the false grip remaining had to substitute 3-1 Pull-ups/Bar-dips just to finish. Missed about 8 MU prior to changing to the substitution…man that demoralized me!

34:24

I kept reminding myself of the extreme sacrifice that Jason made and that the pain I felt was only temporary…I do not think I would have completed if it were not a Hero’s workout.

Obtained extreme pain reminding myself…If it does not kill you, it will only make you stronger!

Coach: great cycle of workouts…truly felt like Crossfit workouts…I am looking forward to rest day!

Comment #390 - Posted by: Troy - St. Louis at August 3, 2007 5:08 AM

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

WOD with kipping bar MU's to start, thenI had to sub jumping MU's on reps 13-20 of the last set to finish.

Wasted an awful lot of time crying during the MU's.

My pullers and pushers won't speak to me right now, and I expect it'll stay that way for quite a while.

Condolences to Jason's friends and family. Jason, thank you for your courage and sacrifice.

Brand X puppy mod - 50 squats, 3 MU's, 25 squats, 6 MU's, 15 squats, 9 MU's, 10 squats, 12 MU's

I did squat muscle-ups on a chest-high bar in the squat cage, focusing on practicing the bar false grip (palms on bar, grasping bar without use of thumbs) and pulling through the transition.

Time - 11:00. Next time, I will sub chin-ups and dips for some of the muscle-ups and probably add more reps. Afterwards, I did some self-assisted dips and squatting pull-ups (focusing on pulling as high as possible - higher than I can manage unassisted), but I was too fried to get any decent volume. My palms are pretty grumpy around the heel area, so I think I'm getting the hang of the bar false grip.

I understand what your saying. 1 month and 3 weeks in to cf 'Jason' is the first one I have skipped. I am whooped and my entire body aches, I couldn't hardly sleep last night. Wisdom just told me to take an extra day to mend. Coach knows what he is doing and I trust that but I also have to listen to my body. There is pushing your self and there is truly hurting yourself. I try to find the balance. =)
I do have to say the name calling and belittling in response to comments is brutal. Relax. Encourge rahter than discourage possibly?

I thought I was 3/4 done at about 27:00. Then I started my last set of pull-ups (60 of 'em) at about 36:00. In other words, my last round took about 25:20, and my last set of pull-ups took 16:20. I was smoked at that point, but I pushed through it and finished.

I thought of Jason Lewis, CWO McRill and Steve Daugherty as well as all the other faces I've seen and names I've read of those that have found a beautiful death, that have given the ultimate sacrifice in the war against evil.

This workout definately kicked my ass. All sets of squats were unbroken, but the pullups/dips were very broken.

1:39:52 but I didn't quit

I echo all the great words that have been posted thus far about our fallen warriors. It makes me proud to be a part of a community that "gets it". Oorah sheepdogs!

I've never done this one before...fairly new to crossfit. It was a great workout. I did it a few days late due to a crazy schedule.

25:54 as rxd.
surprised i actually did 50 mu. seems like not long ago i could do 0.

Comment #513 - Posted by: mrader at August 12, 2007 1:18 PM

Completed on 8/10.
Much, much harder than I thought.
35:43. As rx'd, except for last 8 MUs, they were jumping.
Broke these down by rounds (squats and MU's):
1 (100 sqts and 5 MUs) - 3:15
2 (75 and 10) - 7:53
3 (50 and 15) - 10:47
4 (25 and 20) - 13:49

I think we see where the hold up is.

I just started CF last week and I did Angie as RX'd for my first workout in 25:13. Needless to say my body was destroyed until... well, it never stopped hurting :-). Anyway, also hit Michael in 20:13 and No Name (deadlift, 400m, situps) in 24:40. I love CF because even though the gym was closed and I had no track, I still ran laps around the yard (approx 1 acre) with squats in between and it was awesome. Hope to put up better times in the future and get back into wrestling.
I had to use the gravitron for the pullups and dips
