yesh, the hero workouts are great, but it's no good seeing new ones. RIP Staff Sergeant Joshua Whitaker.

hate seeing a new hero workout! for you joshua

Never done dumbbell snatches before. I'll do them with thoughts of Joshua and all of our fallen heroes.

RIP Brother. I will approach this one with an aggressiveness reserved only for the Heroes workout.

i'm new to CF and can't yet do pullups, altho i'm working up to them!! what can i sub l pullups for to get the same effect?

I just logged on to check today's posts. I wasn't expecting to see tomorrow's so soon, and of course my heart dropped to see another Hero WOD.

No words...

David

God bless SSgt. Whitaker, his family, and those doing the Deed.

God bless our warriors in harms way.

Prayers for safe travels for all the CrossFitters heading home this week. Have a great Holiday!

Oh Man! My abs are gonna feel like my quads do (still crippled from the 400m lunge walk) after this one

Wow, 123 L-pullups seems a bit much. Enjoy!

Fairwinds, Joshua. Thank you for your service. My condolences to your family.

DCF will post & complete this wod in your honor.

RIP

This looks like a fun WOD.

Whew! looks like a smoker of a workout.

OTV Bud

Blue Skies, Warrior. May God bless your family.

I've been doing the WOD everyday for more than a year now so I've seen my share of hero workouts. I know good people die everyday but each time I see a hero workout, particularly a new one, it hits me like a kick in the stomach. My emotions are all over the map and I cannot adequately relate my appreciation, pride and utter saddness.

Sorry for the rant...

God Bless you Sergeant...

first time into the 5k row club. 19:49. no trophy case yet but close. get it next time.

hate to see another hero workout.

May we never forget . . . you're family is in my prayers.

Strong name, strong soldier.
I'm becoming upset that more CrossFit workouts are men's names rather than women's. It's not sexism, it's simply too many sacrifices.

#9 Dr. G,

That's 126, by the way :)

Fair winds, Seargant, and thank you.

Gods speed & fair winds Josh.

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

My prayers are with you, your family, and your comrades who are still in harms way fighting for my freedom.

You will be on my mind for every second of this newest Hero workout.

Saddened to see a new hero workout.

This one's for you, man.

Fair Winds Ssgt. Whitaker, may you rest in peace.

I am on board with everyone else so far in saying I hate seeing Hero WODs. Not because of the physical pain they bring, but because it means we have lost another great American.

I can hardly do a regular pull up without assistance, much less an L Pullup, but I will figure something out.

For you Josh.

Rest in Peace, Warrior. We have it from here.

Very sorry to read this. Rest in Peace.

two hero workouts in a week....makes you appreciate just being able to have a safe place to do them

"The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example."

"For love of country they accepted death."

What is a L Pull-up?

Too many Hero workouts. Not because they're too hard (CF has all but eliminated that style of thinking) but because we're losing too many of our Heroes.

Looks like I'll be doing this tonight instead of the squats I'd been planning. Going to have to sub. 1 pood KB snatches in for the dumbbells as I don't have 40 lb. DB's.

Another "Hero" WOD. Another knot in the stomach. Another pain, that nauseous feeling that comes with the posting and the reading, unavoidable and untreatable.

Another "Hero" WOD.

For some reason the appearance of "Badger" the other day had a lasting effect on me; it stuck with me for a couple of days (the posting, not the WOD from which I'm still recovering). And now "Joshie" arrives and I am nearly doubled over, alone at my computer, alone chez Bingo save for the pet menagerie.

We celebrate primarily the Special Forces heroes here at CF, but what I couldn't shake was all of the other heroes I've read about, regular forces, grunts, jarheads, and swabbies. The soldier killed by the IED; the marine killed by the suicide bomber; the troubled soul, son of a special forces father, lost and unable to find himself who took his own life. I couldn't, and can't, shake the feeling that there is really no way that I can adequately express my gratitude, my respect, my awe for the contribution that these men and women who we have lost, their brothers and sisters now serving, and their predecesors (like my Dad) make and have made.

Could YOU do it? I know I could do it if forced by horrific circumstances. But could I volunteer? Could I do it by choice? What magnifies the effect of the appearance of yet another "Hero" WOD is the fact that each and every one of our American warriors is there by choice. Each one volunteered. Each one volunteered for this duty on behalf of millions and millions of people they do not know. Knowing that makes me feel very, very small.

How do we say "thanks"? How do we really express our support and our gratitude? We here at CF do so by giving our all to these "Hero" WOD's, but how do we do it in the real world? Perhaps a (true) parable may be helpful. My Dad planned a scholarship for the high school teacher who charted his path out of poverty, and planned to fund it after her death in her honor. A very wise man, counsel to my Dad, convinced him to do it right away so that both he and she could enjoy his gesture of thanks. She's still alive at 90, able to know 20 years of students who have benefited from her scholarship, and able to share my father's love and gratitude for 20 years of living.

So how do WE say thanks to these warriors? Ah, you know! We've talked about this before. You know someone who is overseas today, and you know their family. They need help with the carpool; the lawn is shaggy and your teenage son is deep into his 7th hour of Halo 33; you're doing the sidewalk after that Nor'easter and they live next door; it's just one more batch of Christmas cookies. You already know who they are and where they live. No gesture is too small. Do it today. These are gracious people; they will understand and they will appreciate what you have done.

Man...another "Hero" WOD...

Bingo-
Thanks. From a vet. Just...thank you.

Bummed to see another Hero WOD this week because it means we've lost another hero. For you SSgt Whitaker, RIP and thank you for protecting us.

f/31/135

What's the recommended female weight on the snatches?

Anyone...what is the difference between power and squat snatch/cleans?

m/23/6.4/211

I spent 3 hours today talking to Army recruiters about the Army Special Forces. To live and fight while up to Joshua's example would be a great honor. Rest in Peace, Sergeant.

If anybody has advice about joining the Special Forces or the Air Force Pararescue Jumpers, please feel free to email me at andrewhmeador@gmail.com. I'm a recent college graduate with interests and aptitudes in medicine and languages.

The workout: modifying for lack of a pull-up bar - I'm doing one that I planned recently with HSPUs and dumbbell snatches (coincidently 40 lbs.).

Shana-
In the FAQ's it says to use 55% of your body weight, which makes me have to snatch....35.71 pounds dumbbells! Gah! I'd like to know what would be a recommended weight for a female too, or is 35 lbs. just right?

Just saw an ABC news report about recent special forces operations in northern Pakistan, on the border with Afghanistan. I would love to hear from some of you in the know, about what is going on there and how important it is to the overall war effort. Thank you Joshua for your service and protection of my family and freedoms.

RIP Josh.

Can someone help me with the appropriate sub for an L-pull-up. Just not at that level yet and Brand X has nothing posted yet.

Thank you.

Shana,

Actually, I would recommend using 70% of the prescribed weight. With "Fran," the prescribed female weight, 65 pounds, is approximately 70% of the male prescribed 95 pounds. So, in this case, 70% of 40 pounds would suggest a 25-30 pound dumbbell. This is what Annie told me when I asked her about female-scaling, and I think she knows a little bit about Crossfit! ;)

Bingo . . . Thank you for eloquently putting into words what I (and I suspect many of us) feel. I agree that another Hero WOD is another kick in a still sore gut.

While I might not be cut from the same cloth as these heroes, I'm proud to stand alongside them in our military and support them in whatever way possible.

SSgt Whitaker . . . Thank you. Rest in peace and God bless you, your family, and friends. I hope I can do you proud with my effort.

Thank you for your sacrifice. God speed, Josh.

I have a post on Joshua, the Army SF, and the Air Force PJs but it got delayed by the censor feature. It'll pop up soon, hopefully.

tks99: I'd recommend knees-to-elbows, toes-to-bars, or cheating L pull-ups (where you swing your legs up from vertical at the bottom, and only briefly go into an L at the top).

Without anything resembling a pull-up bar, I'm subbing (with a workout that I happened to have already had prepared for today):

3 rounds
20 janda sit-ups
15 snatches, left hand (40 lb.)
10 handstand push-ups
15 snatches, right hand (40 lb.)
20 back extensions

RIP Josh. Thank you and thank you to all the vets out there for all you do for us.

This workout should be...interesting. Still can't do pull ups and I'm getting so frustrated! Should I be practicing my swing, kip and jump pull-ups, (which takes a lot longer) or use the pull up machine? I have been decreasing my weight on the machine and "kipping" on it as much as I can, then after the WOD I usually go practice jumping pull ups. I feel like I'm never going to do it on my own,
Let alone an L-pull up!

God Bless you, SSgt Josh Whitaker. Thank you for your service and sacrifice for those of us back at home. My best wishes and condolences go out to the Whitaker family. RIP, Josh.

In terms of losing heroes at home and abroad, this has been the hardest of weeks. We are all glad to suffer a little bit for all that those heros have given up for us. 3-2-1..go!

God Speed, Staff Sergeant Whitaker.

Hero WOD...

It brings tears to my eyes and knots to my stomach. Words cannot adequately express the gratitude I feel for the soldiers at home and away. Thank all of you.

#26 - Bingo

You put many of my thoughts into words. I mirror your sentiments closely. Well said!

"Joshie" rest easy young warrior

Coach, thanks for making it real clear on the expectations for the WOD. (Full squat vs. power position)

RIP Josh. I can't find the words to express my grief. From an old member of ODA 141, I am sorry.

De Oppresso Liber

Bingo - those are some moving and inspiring words. Thank you....

I, too, hate the fact that the reason for a new HERO WOD is the death of another hero. However, I am inspired by hearing about the lives that inspire the WODs. It is so easy to get complacent in life and think that you or I don't make a difference. In reality, every day we have the opportunity to be a hero in some way. I'm sure that Murph, Badger, Josh, and all of the other heros we honor never woke up thinking that what they did was going to make them a hero - even if they dreamed about it. However, they approached every task with the same dedication and sacrifice that identifies a hero. We all essentially have it in us - it's a matter of habit, opportunity and choice.

I hope that on some small level facing and executing a WOD like one of these (and all of the other daily challenges) will bolster my internal choice mechanism so that if I am ever in a place where I have to make a heroic choice, the mechanism will function properly.

Yes, I hate the reason for the WODs, but I am thankful for them (that which doesn't kill me makes me stronger...) and for the individuals who have inspired them.

RIP, Josh.

#32 Chris Puckett - See if you can get your hands on some back copies of The Economist. (news magazine) It has had some good, concise articles on what is going on in the border area of Pakistan/Afghanistan. For my money, it's the best source of international news.

more sheep dogs to the slaughter
May they rest in peace

Livestrong!

Bingo: well said, couldn't have said it better myself.

Like your post, these two hero WODs kicked up a desire to do something beyond the WOD to honor these guys and others. Just looked at Patriot Guard Riders website at http://www.patriotguard.org/. This group is composed of motorcycle riders who show up after family invitation to shield the mourning family and their friends from interruptions created by any protestor or group of protesters through strictly legal and non-violent means. While there are alot of things I cannot do, throwing a leg over my motorcycle is something I can do.

It ain't much, admittedly, but it is something. Sending an email off to the state point person tonight to inquire further.

Now, about scaling the DB Snatch and L-pullups to this old man's current capabilities.....tomorrow's gonna be a buttkicker.

Yes! Love the split lifts!!! Can't wait to try this in 5 days (still got Fran, Badger, 5K and a rest to go... I'm catching up)! Looks sick.

Push it for our heroes.

Thanks to all of you giving and putting your lives on the line for our freedom. You and your families are in our prayers. Thanks for your service.

I'd like to know what would be a good gift for someone that will be leaving for Iraq in a couple weeks. A friend of our family, who is 23 years old, will be home for Christmas before he heads over to Iraq for the first time.

We'd like to get him something for Christmas that might be useful for him in Iraq and maybe make things a little easier for him. Any recommendations would appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

SSgt. Josh Whitaker, RIP.

Words cannot express the anguish I feel seeing another Hero workout on the board, nor the gratitude I feel for those, like SSgt. Whitaker, who volunteer to serve.

This one's for you, Josh.

Susie

RIP Joshie. Prayers to the Whitaker family.

Here's one of the news stories. RIP Brother.

Army Staff Sgt. Joshua R. Whitaker

23, of Long Beach, Calif.; assigned to 1st Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group, Fort Bragg, N.C.; died May 15 in Qalat, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained in small-arms fire.

Long Beach Green Beret dies in Afghanistan

The Associated Press

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Joshua R. Whitaker of Long Beach had always talked about joining the military, according to his family.

When he finally did, he quickly decided he wanted to be part of its elite Special Forces unit known as the Green Berets.

“We were worried, but we knew there was no stopping him,” said his uncle, Robb Whitaker. “He was very, very happy. He felt he finally found his calling.”

In March, the 23-year-old engineer sergeant was deployed to Afghanistan — his first mission since completing his Special Forces training. On Tuesday, Whitaker died in action near Qalat, Afghanistan, from wounds he suffered in a firefight.

An only child, Whitaker was raised by his mother, Catherine Whitaker, and his uncle. He was a staff sergeant assigned to the 1st Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group from Fort Bragg, N.C.

“He was looking forward to making a difference in the world. He’ll always be a hero to me,” his uncle said.

On Friday, flags at the state Capitol were flown at half-staff in his honor.

Whitaker “willingly put his life on the line and made the ultimate sacrifice while bravely serving our country abroad,” Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in a statement.

The former Millikan High School linebacker joined the Army in 2003 after finishing his education at Opportunities for Learning, an alternative high school. He completed Special Forces training in August 2006.

Whitaker was the second Long Beach soldier killed this month. Spc. Astor Sunsin-Pineda, 20, was killed on May 2 by a roadside bomb in Baghdad, Iraq.

In addition to his uncle and mother, Whitaker is survived by his father, Frank Dougherty of El Monte, an aunt and two cousins.

I just want to say that seeing men like Josh who are being killed in action whether it be police, SWAT, or armed forces, makes me train harder for my passion which is to be a police officer and eventually a specialized police officer. Keep up the hard work guys/gals and lets never forgot our fallen comrads whether from Canada or the US. United WE stand.

I can't say it better than bingo. I've been giving a donation to kiawia.org - kate's nonprofit - everytime a hero comes up.

Gods speed brother!

Still on the IR, looking fwd to doing this one later.

Mike H. #43,
here is what you can get him: anything. Trust me, whether it is a book, a card, a game, a magazine...Heck, nothing dresses up a hooch like some Christmas lights. Put a bit of thought into it because a soldier deployed during Christmas understands that it is the thought that counts.

Bottom Line: it will all be appreciated. Right now that kid is probably so full of emotion, albeit compartmentalized, that he will be touched by anything you give. You can even try a hug.

J

Dammit!!! Not another one.

Fair winds, Joshie.

Too many heroes... rest in peace my friend. This one is for you.

Thanks Laura and Shannon ... I think 25# dumbbells will suit me just fine. I'll be doing this one in about 7 hours so I'll let you know how it goes. =o)

Mike H - comment 49

I just got back and I think that a continuous supply of socks and babywipes are the best. As far as a Christmas gift.....a portable dvd player, a bible, or maybe some pre-addressed envelopes back home,those are all great out there.

Josh- Your efforts will never go untold. From one warrior to another....rest in peace.... we won't stop untill the mission is accomplished.

Continue to support your armed forces for there are way to many non supporters out there. They have to idea what is best for those poeple over there. I've been there and talked to them. They love us and appreciate us to the upmost. We are doing great things for them and will continue untill they can handle terrorism on their own.

Semper Fidelis Marines

I was very excited as always to see what the WOD would be. But this grown man had watery eyes to see that it was a new hero WOD. Sleep well brother.

As soon as I saw the name of the WOD, my heart sank. I knew this was a new WOD in honor of another fallen soldier.
3-2-1-go

It's all the more touching to read that he's the only child of a single mother. Her brother/his uncle obviously did a great job helping to instill in Joshua what it means to be a man. What if we could all be so "manly" as to willingly sacrifice for strangers.
May God bless their entire family as they seek to find moments of joy in their first Christmas without their boy.
Gone, but never forgotten.

gah have to wake up early for this one. getting on a plane in the afternoon and not landing til midnight kinda makes it difficult but for a hero it's worth it. gonna give it all ive got
RIP Josh

Well said Bingo.

Godspeed Joshie.

It's great to read all of the kind words and wishes regarding our Josh. His Mom and I thank you very much. We especially want to thank Aaron, Mikey, Vic, Paul, Eddie, Mike, Chris, Gary, Jamie, John and Ski. You guys are our family now too and are in our hearts forever. This is a wonderful tribute and is especially meaningful to us during this particular time of year. Thank you all.

Badger on Wednesday. Couldn't stop thinking about it.

Go to work that night:

Rest well Josh. Well written again Bingo !
Andrew #33, write me if you have questions, I used to 'control' some of those units. If you have a strong desire, I may be able to help you to go where your interests are.

It's so sad to see two new heroes in one week. I will have to scale this one and figure out a way to sub a sandbag for a db, but I'll get it done. I was wondering on the message board what the criteria is for someone to have a WOD named after them. I think the inscription on the National LEO Memorial says it best:
"It's not how they died that made them heroes. It is how they lived."

Godspeed Josh. Thank you for your service, and your sacrifice.

Bingo, you've inspired this lowly carpenter to action. I've already designed a flyer advertising my services as handyman, driveway shoveler, changer of light bulbs, etc. to families of military overseas. Tomorrow, after paying tribute in sweat to SSgt. Whitaker, I will make copies and distribute in my neigborhood. Thank you.

#36 tks99, try, in order from most difficult to least, tuck pullups, dead hang pullups, then kipping.

Subbed kipped pull ups for L PU's

So many losses,
and who gains?

I'm back from almost 2 weeks of rest. My knee is still giving me problems, but I passed up "Badger" a few days ago, and wouldn't feel right passing up another. Luckily no heavy leg work for Joshie...

God bless, RIP

Joshie, Godspeed Warrior. My thoughts and prayers to your family and friends. This world is lessened in your absence.

Bingo, thank you for saying it so well.

25m80k

RIP Josh

Skipped the rest day
20k DB cleans
subbed dead pullups for the 2nd and 3rd round
28:10

No rest for me today...RIP Joshie.

Subbed jumping PU's for "L" PU's (I can't kip with the lightweight PU bar here at work, which I'm just starting to master @ 265).

First time doing DB snatch...great exercise, even though my groin/hammie "strain" that I've been nursing since back squats is very likely a tear (much purple/yellow/green bruising on my Rt. hamstring) and limited me to 3/4 squats in the catch position.

29:37. Average HR: 153.

Bingo, you could not have said it better!

I look at the pictures of these young men who have given their lives and think "they're just kids". While their peers are out partying life away until they have to grow up these young men and women are out on the front lines making a difference for people they don't know.

My wife and I own a gymnastics facility in Stillwater, OK and we have one of our coaches (a kid of 22 yrs) who is in the Nat'l Guard is being deployed to Iraq in January 2008. I talked with him before he left for Ft Hood for training about what he would be facing over there. His response was a mixture of nervousness about the unknowns, and excitement to finally be able to do something to make a difference. I am in awe at the ability of this young man when it comes to the training he has had at clearing a building,close combat drills, and other training to kill the enemy.

This is a stark contrast to the gymnastics/tumbling coach whom all the 3 to 6 yr old kids think of as a jungle gym, and the teenage girls regard as a goofy older brother. He is always quick to smile, slow to perturb, gentle yet firm, and is really a "big kid" himself.

So, when we honor these fallen heros, like Murphy, Josh, "Badger", and alll the others with a special WOD we sort of know what they were doing when they died. But, what who were they, really, when they were not called upon to be a warrior. My guess is they are alot like this 22 yr old "kid" that my wife and I will be praying over for the next year for his safe return and the safe return of all his comrades in arms who are doing their jobs in the God forsaken hell holes so they won't have to do it over here.

I am going to go check on my little girls as they sleep, tuck them in a little tighter, give them a kiss and silently thank God that we have young men and women willing to go into harms way so that we don't have to worry about, roadside IED's, car bombs or suicide bombers in this country.

Last time I did anything close to that many l-pullups I gave myself minor rhabdo and couldn't use my abs for at least a month. My strength came back VERY slowly. Still can't l-hold as long as before.

RIP Joshie. I will do my best.

I just turned 23 this last Saturday and can't imagine doing what these guys do. It is truly inspiring to go out there and try to be a better person everyday.

On another note, I get sick and tired of stupid war. It just breaks my heart reading about these guys day in and day out. I know they know what they signed up for and all of that, I just wish it never came to this.

RIP.

Served in the USMC my 4yrs(93-97) just finished my shift as full-time SWAT officer for our city police department, and still feel guilty for not being overseas with these heroes....it is sad and motivating at the same time. Makes the WOD's easy, thats for damn sure.

Bingo-
You have no idea how much those small acts are appreciated! Even the simple act of coming up and saying Thank You and giving a handshake or making the Thank you sign.

#58 smb-
Words fail to tell you just how much we appreciate you giving to our organization.

Condolences to the family and friends of Joshua, We hope that you find comfort in the memories of his love.
The memory of his sacrifice will live on through us too, as we do this small thing in his honor.

Kate

God Bless you and your family brother..Thank you for your service.

~Train Hard and Push Through "IT"!~

Umm. That's 126 *L* Pullups? Wow. Not for me just yet ...

Didn't time, but took something around 20-30 minutes. db snatches as rx'd, PUs as follows.

Set 1: Kipping LPUs (lower legs at bottom of kip, bring up to pull and drop)
Sets 2,3: Kipping PUs with legs crossed
Sets 4,5: Kipping PUs
Set 6: 4 PUs, ripped a callus off my right hand and called it a day (and went in to glue it back on).

My forearms are toast.

P.S. I'm honored to dedicate my excercise time to brave young men like Josh and Badger. However, I think we might do them, their fallen comrads and their living brothers an even greater honor by thinking very, very carefully about whether the wars we send them to truly do (Afgnistan?) or do not (Iraq?) need to be fought.

I think I am going to sit out the next 3 days and start back crossfitting on Wed. I just had an angiogram and the incension is still kind of sore not allowing me to extend to fully erect so I can't crossfit as I can't do the explosive movements.

I hate when I see another Soldier pass on to the next life but remember these SOF guy's are the Spartans of the US military and lead from way in the front. It's a sad day when there is a new hero workout. I can't wait until I only see girl workouts. Spider Chick needs one and Eva.

Josh, politics aside, you and others have fallen doing your job. We can all take your example and defend something we believe in, or something we care for.

Today, we strain ourselves and think of our soldiers. May you all come home soon.

Happy WODding, everyone

my heart sunk when i checked today's WOD... another NEW hero workout.

thanks, bingo. your eloquence beats anything i would say. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all that serve. i, too, feel small.

God speed, Sergeant. Blessings and peace to your family.

kate, i'll also be hitting up your non-profit soon. (see post #58.) thanks for the perfect outlet.

i am going to push this one as hard as i can. good luck to all of you going to Primal today! wish i could be there!

Not that it means much but Merry Christmas to Josh's and Badger's family, as well as the families of all the soldiers present, past and gone on, I'll be thinking of you all.

Bingo, I somehow overlooked your post on my first pass through... very moving. You're right- no gesture is too small. I pray we all remember that sentiment and show our appreciation at every oppurtunity. May every soldier come home to be thanked.

Joshie, not what I wanted to see today, but I am always grateful to make a microscopic gesture of honor these heroes. Fair winds and following seas on your journey, Joshua.

Looking at the photograph of Josh Whitaker, I was reminded of the great heroes of Indian mythology. Both Arjuna, the central figure in the Bagavad Gita, and Rama, the exiled prince of the Ramayana, were members of the Ksatriyah caste, the military caste, and their wisdom and courage and selflessness are what make them worthy of veneration and worship. Men like Joshua Whitaker are far more than fallen warriorers and lost comrades; they are noble beings whose short time with us has make us better for having known them and whose example continues to shine a beacon for us all.

Joshie is my 4th CF workout. Fran was OK, scaled down, and I made it through Badger and the 5K row, but after a day off, Joshie blew me away. Couldn't finish even my scaled down version on 20 lb snatches and LPU negatives. Lots of room to grow! CrossFit so far is everything I hoped it would be . . . good, varied and hard!

Thanks Josh.

40:58 w/ 25# db, L pullups as rx'ed. A single arm snatch seems to require greater focus on mid-line stability going into the squat, perhaps due to the imbalance. Correction to my earlier post: "has made us..." not "has make us..."

I appreciate the sacrifice for true sacrifice brings each of us closer to the Lord. "Love never fails" 1Cor 13:8. I especially appreciate the response of so many potential warriors on this comment page. God's speed Josh and God Bless all thos making these heartfelt comments. You give me hope.

I am sorry to see another new Hero workout. It is a continious reminder to me about what is really happening in the world. Rest in peace Sergeant. My condolences to his family and friends.

first time on the db snatches. Loved them once I finally dialed in my technique and form-the demonstration video helped considerably.

subbed for a 25 db. Pull ups were ugly as always. Got 10 in the L position before I had to sub into kipping and jumping for the remainder. Completed 2 rounds before I found out my 5 year old smashed his mouth on side of his bed.

returned to my garage and finished out with 2x21 35 lb db swings.

1st round of L pull ups only after that just did with my knees tucked.

I saw this workout this morning before we went out and I have to admit that I was surprised and saddened.

Bingo #28 and Adam #84.. Well spoken. I echo your sentiments.

Mike #53. Any source of entertainment would be appreciated: movies, music, books, magazines, video games, etc.

I can't say I was looking forward to doing this WOD after a full day's worth of route clearance, MREs and energy drinks but I was compelled and honored to do so. Josh must've been one tough SOB.

30:15 w/ 45lb dumbbell. Our gym is missing 40s.

I haven't quite mastered the squat snatch but that was a fun WOD.

From a military spouse whose lawn definitely tends to get a bit shaggy with bigger things to worry about with a husband gone... ...

Thank You.

That also goes to the entire CF community... It's so nice to know that there are people thinking of folks like my husband on a daily basis, instead of just on national holidays.

I finally found a use for the preacher curl thing. I placed it underneath and a bit froward of the pull up bar in my gym. Then I rested my feet on the top part where your arms go in between my pathetic single rep L pull ups. Slow, but it got me through all of them.

Oh yea. I forgot to put out a shout out to anyone xfitters in Miami. I'm going down there for Christmas. I'm bringing a small bar, some bumpers, my ironmind squat stands, wallball, rings, vest and some chalk. If anyone wants to meet up someplace just reply to the email address below.

(On my personal note) May the Halls of Valhalla welcome another warrior into their ranks...May the warrior return to Midgard to bless us with his presence and valor in the future...

Great workout at Primal for everyone that showed up! I never thought a 25lb dumbbell would feel so heavy as at the end of 7 minutes of bear crawls.

RIP Joshua. I'll reflect on peace and courage today.

Sad to see a new hero workout. I wish the best to Joshua Witaker's friends and family.

I am going to take the next three workouts off. I was trying to not take any rest until January even though I could feel that I needed it. Well, really messed up my shoulder doing Fran. I was able to do Badger but that made it worse. Then when I ran the 5K I strained my hip flexor a little bit. I think those are some pretty clear signs to take a week off.

Worked on some split jerks which I love and HSPU though by then my arms were pretty fried.

I was wondering if anyone knew when SSG Whitaker sustained his wounds. I understand that he passed away on May 15, but is that the day he sustained his wounds. The reason I ask is I knew SGT Tim Padgett who was killed 8 May in Afghanistan during a firefight. SGT Padgett was also in 1st Battalion 7th SF Group. I was just trying to figure out if they were on the same ODA. If any one has any information please e-mail me at dar2644@uab.edu

I am confident that the relation between these two posts is understandable and reasonable.

20:44, partial last round. RIP

Thoughts & Prayers to you and yours Joshua.

For that matter, my thoughts & prayers to all service men and women serving over seas. Your sacrifices & dedication will be honored for as long as I am alive!

29/M/175

Subbed 25# db's; they're all I have: 30:37. Very rough on the core. Tomorrow should be tender. God speed Josh.

RIP SSG Whitaker

Thank you to all of our service men and women...wish I could do the workout in your honor, but because of a bum knee I cannot...did 21-15-9 HSPU, Pull-up, push up, sit ups.

Decided to make my new years resolution early and get more serious about my training. I figure if I post my workouts here, It might help my discipline. I have been doing my own madeup WOD and have noticed that I have'nt been throwing any strength movements in with them. I looked at my old logs and have noticed a drop in strength. I decided to stick to a scaled frontpage WOD. My resolution is to be able to complete the WOD's as rx'd. With that being said, here is my first post.

Scaled Joshie

3 rnds
11 snatch left
11 regular pullups
11 snatch right
11 regular pullups

all squat snatches

21:50

booooooo!!

44:20 as rx'd - first workout back after the whole last cycle off with the flu. Lung capacity still off but strength was good. Too many failures dropping the load coming out of the bottom. Tough technically as this is the first real time performing the DB snatch that wasn't a power snatch. 95% of reps got thighs below parallel though but not as deep as I would like. Good to get back though.

Fought hard on the last round to get under 30 minutes. I admit, however, most L Pull-ups were without the full extension at the bottom. I'll have to work on that on an off day. Great workout.

This was my 6th WOD

Modified

3 rounds
15# DB snatches
PU's on Gravitron 100#assist

My husband introduced me to the site - at first I thought it was crazy - but I am loving it. I love a different work out every day (even if it kicks my butt - at least I know I'm working)! Way better than doing endless rounds of reps!!

Wow, sucked hard. wanted to quit after round 2 so bad, but the hero work outs keep me going out of guilt.

Subbed 21 pull ups and 21 knees to elbows for the 21 L-pull ups.

39:40

DB snatches as rxed
First 42 L-pullups pretty good although broken and alternating grip.
Next 42 were 'knee-tuck' pullups to jumping knee tuck pullups as I fatigued.
Last 42 gravitron pullups followed by 42 knee to chests.

33:44

I never post comments like this, but RIP to all the hero's with wod's named after them or not. These last two new ones have been haunting me for days.

I think my form killed me on the snatches. When I got home I looked at the DB snatch tripanel video from the FAQ, and realized I was working way too hard. Next time I'll do better.

32 min roughly. no watch. scrapped the L on the pull ups. had to do assisted pullups last 2 rounds. male, 24yrs, 6'6 250. rip to joshie. god bless our boys.

DB Snatches ranged from parallel (90 degrees) to about 60 degrees, and L Pull-ups ranged from 90 degrees to about 120 degrees as fatigue set in towards end of each set.

I went to the gym at 10am to honor "Joshie" but my form was weak and my shoulders were tender from Push-Jerks yesterday. I got through 1 1/2 rounds and my shoulders wanted to tear themselves out of their sockets, so I left the gym. For the next few hours I got mad at myself (and gave my shoulders a firm talking to) so I went back at 5pm to get it done!

For you SSgt Whitaker, thank you and RIP.

41:22
Quite surprised since I first saw this posted last night after I caught up with Badger. Hurting from Badger, but SSgt Whitaker's picture hung on my basement wall with the rest of the heros proved motivating enough.

Although I'll never rely on the elite fitness that CrossFit forges to survive and succeed as America's Military heros do, I was reminded of the importance of overall health and fitness on Tuesday night.
My friend and mentor, Senior Cpl. William "Wild Bill" Hunter #73117, who's been a stret cop longer than I've been alive was involved in a terrible car accident during his second to last shift before retirement. I pray that his general level of good health and fitness will speed the healing from several very serious injuries, and will enable him to recover completely so that he can enjoy a long retirement.
Whether fighting for my life with a physcial adversary, or fighting injury or illness, I try to be ever aware of the benefits of "elite fitness."

#215 Kyle Rx'd=As prescribed, or you completed the workout as written.

#79 K-Hari's right in #204. We all gain with the loss of someone like SSgt. Whitaker. And we should all take a moment to feel the loss. K, I dare you to pause for a moment and think about what you've been able to gain (a life of peace, financial resources, all types of liberty, an education, friends and family) that the blood of patriots, like Joshie, has made possible through the generations.

Didn't keep an exact time, just used wall clock. Just wanted to make sure I could finish it without dying.

20:25
omitted the second L-pullups

What about a workout involving (holding onto barbell the entire time) a burpee (minus squat jump portion)+power clean+push press?

I've done these before and they are absolute hell too.

Due to my bodies unfamiliarity to high heart rate and pullups i scaled things down to -

15 snatches and 15 L-pullups

With a 25kg KB.

Time 2 hours 2mins 46 secs.

Sukked from the end of the first round.

RIP Joshua Whitaker.

At least ill have room for improvement ;)

Thanks to everybody who has given me info about the PJs, Army SF, and the military in general. The crossfit board is full of so many good and helpful people, I feel privileged and blessed to have found it. Take care everyone, and again to SSgt. Whitaker,

Bingo - great words, as always. When I was deployed many moons ago, I came back to base housing and all my wife talked about was how our neighbor had mowed the lawn every time he did his own (and we had a decent sized yard in company grade housing). I had never met him until i returned, but we were squadron-mates on an opposite rotation. So, I did the same for his wife when he was gone. I never appreciated until then how such a simple and a small act could make such a big difference. He's a squadron CO now and deservedly so.

I hate seeing new hero workouts. I know we'll see a lot more as CF continues to entrench itself into the operating forces.

RIP, Joshie.

I started out as rx'd but after the first round I had to scale down to 30# dumbell and kipping pullups!! I only made 2 rounds for a grand time of 15:34 mins. Ouch!!! 40# was tough!

Help? I'm really sore from 400m walking lunge I did on the 19th and despite severe muscle soreness the worst Ive ever had I still did Fran, I thought it loosened me up for a while but now it has worsened and I can barely walk at all, could this be in any way a form of rhabdo or should the soreness lessen over a short time? I was gonna do Badger, 5K, or Joshie today but took a rest day instead, any input would be great

With a 20# DB, 10:55

Have to admit almost did not attempt. First attempt at a Snatch workout. Did o.k. once I got the hang of it.

Can you say Inline Thoracic stabilization (Aka. c.o.r.e.)

Pull-ups all a type of kipping; full hang, swing legs to an “L”- pull-up full pull and down to full hang, drop legs, repeat to the full set of 126 at 21 at a time, completely broken sets.

If this were not a HERO workout, not sure I would have got after it.

“Joshie” rest easy young warrior!

Comment #286 - Posted by tejanostylin

Most likely delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) particularly due to the eccentric work at the the bottom of each lunge. I had bad DOMS after some intesnse tabata squats the other day. Painful coming down stairs for sure.

However, if you have bilateral swelling in your legs and if your urine is coca-cola colour then it may be indeed rhabdo.

Scaled to 30lb db.

31:41

Shoulder felt very stiff at the beginning, but next time, I'll definitely move up to 35lbs.

Gratitude and sympathy to Joshua's family.

30# db snatches - little shaky at first
Did pu's for sets 1-3. pullups were kipping - first time doing this many (all broken)!. I resisted the temptation to go to jumping pu's to get a better time. For sets 4-5 did knees to elbows, then kipping pu's for the last set.

My legs are also still way sore from the walking lunges (done 12/18) and, I'm sure, Badger.

11:05, only did one round. Need to pay better attention when reading the workout, that's the first time I've done that. I thought it didn't seem that tough, then I started reading times, and I figured it out. Used a 7gal. water jug filled with 4.5 gal for the snatch, beat me up.

Wow...

That's the only word that can adequately describe this WOD. Josh has quite a beast named in his honor... this was up there with Murph for me.

After almost 2 weeks of rest, IF and near-paleo eating, I'd hoped to tear through this one, but didn't even get close.

Finally got my GHD and did my first REAL cfwu. GHD situps and back extensions tore me to pieces and felt amazing considering I used to be doing standard anchored sit-ups and 45# good mornings.

I felt like a bit of a "coward" scaling it but felt like I had to in order to get anything out of it.

Scaled as follows:

- 30# dumbbell for snatches (heaviest I have)

- 15 reps for snatches instead of 21. Not enough experience and definitely not enough strength in the right arm to finish them in a timely manner if I'd done 21 reps

- Pull-ups as rx'd

Made it through the first round in about 10:15. Snatches were brutal. Was doing sets of 5 with looooong breaks in between. Form felt ok for the most part, but in retrospect I don't think I was going low enough on the squat.

Pull-ups were decent -- broken mostly into sets of either 10 or 5, but again, with pretty lengthy rests in between.

Second round went about the same speed as rd1, but I was dizzy and wobbly by the end of it. Decided not to risk injury and stopped at two rounds.

This is the closest Pukie has come to visiting me in a while, and the closest I've been to blackout as well. Don't know what it was, but Joshie was brutal.

Legs are shaky, arms are quivering, body is spent. Great WOD under unfortunate circumstances. Thank you again for your sacrifice, Josh. I expect to meet you again full force soon enough.

I'm too weak, or too inflexible, or two weak AND inflexible to do a respectable weight for the snatch, because on the OHS part of the snatch, the weight just wants to come forward. Or is this a form problem?? Am I the only one who has this problem? I can press a respectable amount, and my back sqaut's not great, but doesn't explain this. But I did conform to the instructions not to turn the snatch into power snatches.

Still took me about 50 minutes, even after forgetting to do L-pulls for the first 2 rounds of 21. I stink.

1 round in 12 something. Got to this late today, and my hands failed at the start of the second round due to the cold. They went numb and I couldn't close them around the pullup bar anymore. I will do this again when it is sunny.

35/180

39:31 w/ 35# DB and had to do kipping PUs after first set....Not worthy of the hero's WOD.

Made it through 2 rounds before the gym closed. I had gone there to climb but the wall was closed so I opted to try and fit in a quick workout, then they closed the weight room also. Funny thing happened though, during my first set of L-pullups, a girl walked past me and called me a showoff. Sorry honey, the pullups weren't for you. I wonder what she was thinking when I got to 84.

Completely forgot to post my abysmal time for 2 rounds: 29:34

#309 blades, it sounds like more of a form problem. Work the overhead squats more in your warmup if you can (light weight, good form). Make sure your arm and shoulder are locked out at the top of your dumbbell snatch.

Having active shoulders will help nearly 100% in keeping the dumbbell overhead rather than falling forward. Also I'd take a look at your overall squat form and see if that's really the underlying problem.

Maybe video tape yourself and get a thread going in the digital coaching forum.

Sargeant Whitaker, Fair winds warrior, may God bless your family and friends.
3 rounds;
65 lb barbell snatches 21 reps
30 L pull-ups
25:47

The Caliber of people that are drawn to CrossFit like Sargeant whitaker and others. realy firms up what I have always thought and that is I am glad that these guys are on our team. These guys truly are real life Super Hero's and we can never take them for granted. Thinking of these guys while doing the workout helps keep the L in the L pullups a little longer. All the best to the family of SSGT. Whitaker.-Greg

RIP Josh, 23 is WAY too young to die.

My first Hero WOD, gave it my all.

Scaled to 15 rep and 17p db, subbed tuck and regular PUs in the middle.

15 L PU
15 db left

After the first round I could tell this was going to take a while. Aimed for 50 min. Finished at 49.52, with a good 8 seconds to spare!

My respects also to Comment #142 JBizzle, for doing it as rx:ed in almost 78 minutes, that's dedication!

Wow, brutal workout. DB snatches were no problem. I do those all the time usually with heavier weight. L-Pullups on the other hand were murder. All sets were totally broken.

Bwt:150

15lbs DB snatches lightweight for form reason.

1 x 21- 65lbs dumbbell swings

As Rx'd a day late.
34:47

First time with squat db snatches. For some reason easier on the left than the right. Could be a couple reasons. I had surgery on my right shoulder in my teens, maybe the ROM just isn't there. Sprained right ankle from two months ago is still giving me a little jolt from time to time. I am expecting a wobble board for Christmas so hopefully I will get the ankle rehabbed quickly.

26 yo male 187 lbs

Holy crap! This workout was killer. Finished up in 42:44. Had to sub maybe 30 of the 124 L-pullups with tucks towards the end. Had to do one arm kettlebell swings on the right side due to an old shoulder injury. Rock on guys.

30# db
33:47 wow this was hard. thanks freddy for helping me thru it. and thank you josh for your inspiration.

Bwuh. Did 2 rounds instead of 3, and used 25# instead of 40#. Estimate time at 40 minutes. Gym had no pull-up bar, so curled myself into a vertical fetal position and used the handles on the dip stand. Thanks, Josh.

I am a day behind.

Thanks to all of you that serve.

Joshie as Rx'd...form was not pretty..

Gary/51/M/205....36:40

My sympathies go out to Staff Sergeant Whitaker's family, friends and comrades in arms.

Only had a 50lb dbell and my L-pull-ups weren't pretty but as tight as I could make them. Otherwise as Rxed in 43:35

Cheers, kempie

A day behind in posting, but we did the Honor workout yesterday for Joshua.
LTT: As Rx'd 35:53
AStreet: (F) Subed 20lbs for DBs, and 1 Legged Assisted L's (one foot held by spotter, other foot held straight out) 36:39

A second hero workout in a week...thank you for the honor in your service and the honor in your sacrifice.
LTT and AStreet

did this yesterday and got so busy i forgot to post. This was brutal for me, and the L-pullups became "legs up as high as possible" which got to be not very high at all in rounds 2 and 3. dumbbell squat snatches must not have been the best form as my lower back is killing me this morning, but it was the L-pullups that took me forever.

otherwise, as Rx'd

51:30 ouch.

2 rounds completed

32:14

Ouch. This one made me feel old.

done last nite

25/f/5'2/130#

pre: run 6 miles = 46 minutes

WOD:
30# db (single arm snatches = fun!)
time = 38 minutes ( i think... no stopwatch n not sure i correctly remembered wut time i had started at)
bleah. L pullups were mostly singles. by the 2nd round, really really really wanted to switch to either strict or kip, but everytime i almost wussed out i just thought of SSgt Whitaker and kept squeezin out the Ls one at a time.

Subbed 40# kettlebell for the snatches
L-Pull ups were terrible but I did 'em.
29:45
Merry Christmas!

We did the workout yesterday but didn't have time to post untill now

WOD in 'bout 35 mins. Needed a water break after each round. Last 21 L-pulls were more like an h or something.

31:44

Only has a 15 k db (33lbs) so had to use that. Subbed knees to elbows for L pullups due to lack of flexibility. Fount the last 21 on my non-dominant arm a killer.

21 15# dumbbell snatches R arm
21 jumping pullups on door frame

1/2 pullups L, other half bent kneed
these kill a spot in my groin where stomach mm attach to pelvis, none of the other exercises bother this area. any ideas?

forgot time 37'11"

Working form still; used a shoe for the dumbbell.

1 round: 21/9/21/7

Will start to go faster now as I feel comfortable with the form.

did a variant of this WOD since i had to do it at home; no pull-up bar. used a 53lb KB for the snatches and substituted HSPU's for the L pull-ups. after the first round i changed HSPU's to regular push ups. was taking way too long. was banging out the snatches in about a minute each set, the HSPU's were taking forever. ugh.

Did this on Saturday, 12/22:

Used 30# DB - first time doing DB snatches, and right shoulder hurting a bit - otherwise all 3 rounds as Rx'd:

It was an honor. Thank you Joshua. Go speed.

Ripped my hand with Badger can't do pull ups so did Karen today in 7:25

even with the instructions I messed up...

all power snatches
ring tuck pull-ups...should have done KTE to rest elbow...first time with PU in about a month due to golfer's elbow.

19:30 (R1=5, R2=7, R3= 7.5)

Followed with 80# OHS and snatch balance practice then some 95# OHS, ring dips (10), pistols (12), and HSPU (10)

RIP Josh, thanks to Josh's family for their ultimate sacrifice and thanks to all of those who protect us.

Denver Sheepdog...well said!

30minutes until I had to stop pink chalk is a sign something is amiss

finished 100 1.5pood kb snatches each hand and 100 pull ups first 60 L style doubles finished with pentuple kips

For those that finished as rx'd holy moly.

Powell

Couldn't even begin to complete this one

The first round I did the dumbell snatches with 15 lbs and about 10 l pull ups in between. But I wasn't used to the snatch so I switches to the barbell and couldn't even do one correct squat snatch with the bar so I did power snatches. Then I did two sets of snatches and lpullups for each of the four iterations in each rxd set and got about 6 or 7 of both each set. Pretty pathetic really. After about 30 minutes i was exhausted and could barely stand.

post: sauna for 20 mins.

Jennie - thank you so much for the t-shirts! and for makin me do this WOD again. i wish i knew what i could gift to u (and my other favorite shero Shelly) that would show how much i appreciate your company in the WODs and in life.

25:22

Of course I meant to say "God speed", not "Go speed"! (#385) However, "go speed" is probably applicable in CrossFit. Either way, I'm sure Joshua is probably snickering a little on that goof.

Again, thank you.

as rx'd 27:50

29.03
sub'd 25 reps of 1pd KB (just re-read wod and saw they were supposed to be squat snatch; I did power snatch.) L pull-ups were more L-like than a perfect L.

wow that was rough

21y/o m 205#
time of 32:29
the last 63 l pullups were kipping

First time with snatches. About halfway through I started to think of pulling myself under the weight rather than pulling it overhead and that helped me get more momentum at the bottom of the lift and complete it.

Subbed jumping pull-ups after the first 21 strict turned into sets of 2.

Time: 25:15

Not sure SGT Joshie would have been impressed ... in fact, I'm willing to bet he wouldn't but a chance to offer any tribute is better than sitting one out.

21.40 - used one pood KB in lieu of dumb bell, and used sissy, wish-they-were-L-pullups in lieu of the real item.

My thoughts with the family today, and with my own as I don't take for granted being here with them.

Paul

Post script - note to self: "never do these from memory."

I did 40 snatches left, 40 Lpullups, 40 snatches right, 40 L pullups; not even a resemblance of the real thing, but a good workout all the same and better than sitting this one out.

17yo/M/165

Couldn't do more than 3 L pull-ups, even when fresh. Did this Monday after the burpees. Used regular pull-ups, followed by 50 4c flutter kicks. Snatches were as rx'd. Liked this workout a lot. Struggled with pacing, time approx. 56 min. Ugh.

CFWU x 3

first time doing these snatches. practiced a bit at 25# and then completed at real weight. almost lost my balance a couple of times but kept it together. hard maintaining weight stable over the head while dipping.

Thank you again for all your kind thoughts and condolences to our family regarding the loss of our beloved Josh. He was a great kid who turned out to be a great man and hero. Your posts have been very helpful to us during this first Christmas season without Josh. My sister and I thank you very much.

Robb Whitaker

I've been behind but did SSG Whitaker tribute workout today, and CPO Carter a few days ago, I've been trying to double up where I can, and skip rest days to catch up, I couldn't get myself to skip these two workouts as much as I might've wanted to, I can be sure they wouldn't have.
37:09
1st time doing any kind of snatch much less DB snatch so went with 5# DB on snatches to work form 1st 21 PU's were semi L, 2nd 21 PU's were more of a jumping with a knee tuck at the top, and last 4 groups of 21 PU's were all jumping. Will bump up in weight next time DB snatch comes up. bw (211#)

M/41/5'8"/170 (post holidays)

I think Josh would be rather proud of me. Performed as rxd-- 33:33. Although most of my L pullups looked like "lazy" L's and all the pull up sets were broken.

Jackson, TN. now has a Crossfit gym!!! Fantastic.

5min rope skipping + CFWUx2 (No PU's)

Can't perform this WOD exactly beacause of R.shoulder injury so did 2x21 Oly bar snatches per round instead)

31min exactly.. :(

I am only sorry that I saw this workout so long after it was done. I was with Josh when he was killed (about 30m behind him). Josh died while manning a .50cal MG that probably saved my life as well as many others in our convoy. Even though we were outnumbered 3 to 1 his actions were immediate and decisive; he did not hesitate but only reacted superbly just the way he was trained. Josh was an exceptional Soldier who stood out as one of the best even amongst the highly trained individuals that were his peers. He could be trusted with any mission and any amount of responsibility. My only regret it that I only had 2 and 1/2 months to get to know the warrior that he was. Only 3 days before he was killed he was on the ground in a really bad place leading an effort to clear and area of UXOs and Truck parts after one of our HMMWVs were hit with an IED. He walked confidently through a 400 x 400m area for 8 hours where one bad step would have blown him in half like he had done it all his life. Josh was a great American and an awesome Soldier he was the epitome of a Green Beret and I could never describe that impact he had on my life and what his death has meant to me. God's Speed Brother you are missed and thought of daily we will take the fight to those that ended your life as best we can. I hope I can keep my promise to you. GOD BLESS Brother and I hope we will catch up on that side of HEAVEN.

Scaled to 21-15-9 reps after first round took 16(!) minutes. Never done dumbbell snatches before - that was significantly harder than barbell snatches.

32:58
2 x sets of 20lbs. dumbell x 10 and 10 x L-sits

AS RX'D

42:58

I didn't have 40lb dumbells so I subbed 95 lb hang squat snatches for each set of dumbell snatches. I used hang snatches because I don't have bumper plates.
21 hang squat snatch 95lbs
21 L-pull-ups
21 hang squat snatch 95lbs
21 L-pull-ups

That turned out to be a little too much, I was done after two full rounds. I forgot to start my timer until a few minutes into the workout so about 40 minutes. RIP Josh.

Had to get my daughter from the school bus, dissappointed on not finishing the WOD but at least I got 30 minutes of excercise

Did 80# barbell snatches. Tried to do 40# dumbell ones, but too clumsy. Will have to practice them to get the hang of it.
Did PU's on Gravitron with minimum assist.

Don't understand how you can kip with L pullups. 126 pullups is insane.

Lately but proudly, I had "Joshie" WOD today.
May God bless your soul, Josh... from an Italian Air Force Lt.

ouch. 22.5 minutes but i scaled down to 15 reps after the first round and was using a 35# kettlebell for swings.

rip josh. you chose the hard path and served well.
thank you.

I was Josh's team leader for a short period of time before his trip to Afghanistan. I just started doing Crossfit this week, very fitting way of getting into this program. Josh was a great warrior and is missed immensely.
RIP Brother
