Let's go! Looking forward to it. Which will be the most popular??
well it will have to be murph
Interesting...I've only done Michael.. what to choose what to choose.
Awesome idea, probably Josh for me. Thanks for the chance to 'randomize.' Paul
There must be a list of all the hero workouts. Will someone point me in the right direction?
Thank you!
A choice???? I can't handle a CHOICE??? Coach?? I'm scared... guide me... someone.... eeeek...
gonna have to do griff, just gave blood today and shouldn't be doing much arm-work for a day or two
This should be fun. I don't suggest Tommy V if you don't have a rope. Tried it before with 400 and something towel pull-ups. Needless to say I ripped a few towels. I think I may try Jason out on a pull-up bar. Good luck to the rest of you!
Awesome call for 9/11. Daniel and Josh both look tempting, think I'll try one of those.
I'm just going to pick one I've never done. I might go with JT (my lower body is still sore from Linda... is that even possible?)!
Steve: Click on the hyperlinked "Hero Workouts" in the WOD description....you can't be as new to the internet as you are to crossfit....does nobody trial and error click things anymore??
I've never done Josh and I wanted to do OHS today.
East coast loves early post.. I can go to bed now.
I will be doing Taylor for the first time.
Roger that!
Gonna go w/ JT, havent done that one yet....
Just had a sobering moment as I perused the Heroes bio's and their photos. I spent some time in silent prayer for their families and friends who have suffered more than I know for our freedom. I thank God for men and women such as these who give all for this great country. We will never forget. Thanks Coach for the reminder on 9.11
God Bless America! Never forget.
I owe a Murph. Tomorrow night is going to suck!

I feel the confusion too - can't think of a better reason why I need to attend a Level One Cert (and beyond).
Hopefully the CF Community Intellect will point me in the direction of the best Hero WOD to perform.
Maybe I'll just put all the Hero WOD's in a hopper and randomly select one.
Wow!
"JT" it is. It has been ages since I have done that one.
I hate that there are so many to choose from.
this is the coolest thing i have ever seen
after a trip to Little Creek... it would have to be Murph. Have to sub my ACU Camelback for body armor, but what the heck ?? Tomorrow is going to be an insane PT day for me...
I think this is a great tribute to these heroes. I will be doing this for all our fallen heroes and for my Dad who is a Veteran. I have so much respect for him and everyone in the armed forces.
Thanks for everything that you do to keep us safe and allow us to be all that we can be.
Respectfully,
Kyle
Lets DO THIS!!
9/11/08
Should make a workout for 9/11 anyone got any ideas??
Goin for Jason for the first time.. should be fun
wow this is going to be a tough choice. It will be interesting to see if people stick to what they are good at, or if they pick one that they need work on....hhmmmm
Thoughts are with all of you in the USA for tomorrow.
Josh it is for me. Have never done it and need to practice my OHS.
I almost died the last time I did "Nate." Have to try it again. Been practicing those handstand pushups. . .
I can't believe it has been seven years since 9/11. I will give it my all tomorrow in tribute to all who lost their lives or loved ones.
very fitting Coach. Bless all out there in Emergency Services and the Armed Forces.
Going to try "Randy" for the first time.
For time:
75# Power Snatch, 75 reps
Good time to practice and work on the oly lifts because I don't like them very much!
Great idea! Think I'll do a Michael (first one) since the workouts recently haven't included back extensions or situps.
caught up to Crossfit Central today on the burpee challenge by doing all 231 of them! to make it harder because i was being a slacker by avoiding the challenge I added pullups with each burpee! took all day!
M/163/50
Try the workout BADGER. It's a snapshot of hell.
cfjax Cav
as for the hero workout it will have to be MURPH. I don't know much about the other hero workouts. But once i saw the youtube clip about the "Lone Survivor" I haven't thought about that workout the same, or any other workout for that matter.
Not to be an ass, but 8 Army brothers died during the same operation (not sure if the creator of the vid knew that). And, in a personal opinion, is a work out really a "tribute"? Volunteer for something; help out at your local school for a day, drive folks to help them register to vote, serve soup at a shelter; something that postitivley effects this country. If you can do that, that is by far a better tribute than pounding pavement and slinging weights and something that validates what they served this country for.
I thought about Randy and Michael since I have never done them...Then I wrote down Michael...I then changed it to Randy. My father is a police officer with 31 years on the reserves (no pay) so I figured that I could honor him and Randy in the same day. Wish me luck on these...to say I have form would be an overstatement!
M/26/6"/165
My hero is Ken C and since September 11th is Ken's birthday (bummer of a birthday!) I'm doing whatever workout HE'S doing. What're we doing Ken? Fran? Badger? Rest day?
??
on tommy v
its 9 rope ascents meaning?
? 9rope climbs from top to bottom or 9pulls
The question I wish that I'd asked Coach and/or Lauren at the "Games" is still: "who is more responsible for shaking things up so much lately with all the new WOD's and now the shocking flexibility of a "CHOICE!?!" (ignoring the regular Mary/Cindy option). Is it Lauren or is it Coach? Or someone else entirely? Thanks, as always, to both of you for creating and serving the Crossfit community, as well as all who serve our country.
I'm going to double up.
6:00 am: Josh
5:30 pm: Griff
I cannot express the gratitude I feel for our fallen soldiers and those who are fighting for us right now. I will push and sweat tomorrow as if my life depends on it...it's the least I can do to honor all of you. Thank you for your sacrifice, we will never forget you and we will never surrender. God bless you and the loved ones left behind. You did NOT die in vain.
Now let's go get some.
I would go with Michael to complement the picture! ha ha
44/6'1"/185
late post on the lynn + back squat wod.
bench press: 16 11 10 9 7 - 53
pull ups: 41 35 33 30 29 - 168
squats: 20 25 22 25 27 - 119
total: 340
great idea on the choice of hero workout. i'll be doing josh. never done that one before.
ever since 2001 this has been a bitter sweet day for me. its my birthday and the miserable f*ck wad terrorists kinda ruined it for me. hats off to all the terrorist hunters out there. go get em.
I came up with my own hero workout to honor the memory of Shane Patton who was on the rescue team in the Lone Surivor incident. I served with his dad on team 5 back in the 80s.
3 squat snatches 135 lbs
3 muscle ups
10 rounds for time
I'm going to do that one.
Although "Murph" is my personal fav....I will go with "JT" for this WOD since my knee is all messed up.
...This is for those who have given their lives for the brotherhood of America...
Daniel, Badger or Randy...decisions, decisions.
It would be awesome if there was a seperate comment board for people to post their commentary, and this one was used to post results only.
Sena #39
Keep in mind that many people would be unaware of these heroes if it weren't for the tributes. The attention to the cause brought about by simple CrossFit workouts and minimal background information on each hero may motivate and inspire people to do exactly what you suggested.
God Bless America! Never Forget
I owe to all of these heros tomorrow will be a tough choice.
Never Forget, Never Forgive 9.11
i've never tried putting an entire class of cf workouts up at the same time... too much data to post - but i've configured and saved all CF heroes top 20 on the logsitall.com home page - most of these workouts have enough data so that you can pull up rankings by age group and gender.

Murph for me...for some reason I think it will be easier on 9/11. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
sena
Whether you intended to or not, you came across as an ass!! Of course all of your suggestions are great ideas to honor those fallen soldiers and every American should consider those, but this is a FITNESS site and there are soldiers, LE, and firefighters all over the world that look to this site to motivate them and honor them with workouts that prepare them for combat and survival. You have no idea what CrossFit means to our military, police, and firefighters all of whom are the heroes of 9/11. So please don't suggest you have a better way to honor them, I think Coach and Lauren have done quite well!!
Happy B-day Ken C. What does that make you now, 75?
is there a video anywhere of someone doing the Murph.
#55 thanks from all the firefighters in the military, it isn't easy and this is something we look forward to
I think Daniel sounds about right. Hurt so good.
Thanks to all the men and women in uniform.
Joe
prediction for tomorrow:
Girl workout of your choice.
#39 sena, great post! it's important to remember and honor our fallen heroes but it's more important to be a positive impact on our nation to pass on the liberties they fight and die for.
gonna do JT and hopefully start incorporating the CFE WODs. can anyone give me some advice on an average number of increase in calorie intake a day after adding CFE to the daily WODs? i currently take in 3100 a day and maintain weight. 73"/188lbs/20/M
I can't put in to words what a great idea this is for a workout on 9/11. For ALL those who have given their life (military, law enforcement, firefighters, etc.) to protect our way of life.

A big thank you to all those who serve.
On another note, has anyone read "Omnivore's Dilemma"? A guy was telling me about it yesterday and it seemed like a good read. Linda got me on the first rep the other day so I'm nursing a back injury. It's a good opportunity for me to work on form and do some CrossFit brain-training.
I'm considering "Daniel" at this point. I've never done it. It will have to be modified though--my pull ups are still a work in progress after shoulder surgery in February. I'm doing surprisingly well now though!
Sena,
The heroes honored with namesake workouts were also CrossFitters.
Comment #38 i totally agree. good post.
i did murph yesterday (mixed up schedule) so resting tomorrow.
39 minutes (2 minutes off pr)
I like it.. This should become a Veteran & Memorial Day tradition.
Out of town in Nashville. Opted to go to a local affiliate & get down. GoCrossFit it was. Lindsey was very nice & a great help. The Box was sweet & is only going to get better. It was nice to throw around some Bumper plates again. Thanks.
Get some, Go again!
I'm doing tomorrow's workout in memory of Army Sgt. Bryan Brewster, killed in May 2006 in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. His father is Louis Brewster, longtime NASCAR and NHRA writer and sports editor in Southern California.
I worked for Lou for a year, and a nicer man you could not meet. He was so proud of his son. I never met Bryan, but I like to think I know a little bit about him because I know his father.
Godspeed, Bryan. Godspeed.
Hooah.
I've got 10 guys from PSU ROTC to do the Murph in honor of our alum, his sacrifice, and his remarkable valor.
Penn State Proud!

Handstand push-ups
Ring dips
Push-ups
21-15-9 reps, for time
21:40.40, all sets broken copiously
"Murph" - all the way. It was the first Crossfit workout I ever did.
Excited to give it a second go.
I'm coaching CF at 5:30 AM at my affiliate. They will be doing "Daniel", and I will as well later on with a few co-workers.
It was going to be my day of rest but what the hell, Murph it is. Last time was 31.02 going for under 28 this time.
Awesome idea.
I cant belive all those troopers are no longer with us. God bless them all.
Always remember.
All the work outs are great.
If there were a hero workout named for a Marine, I'd be all over it. How is it possible that the Air Force has one but not the Marine Corps???
I owe my boy Murph, last time I skipped the flak jacket. I think I'll try my first time with E-Sapi plates. 90 minutes of death coming up...
Semper Fidelis to all my brothers and sisters in arms.
Knock Knock.
Who's There?
9/11.
9/11 who?
You said you'd never forget!
starting the day with 110 flight stair run
then badger in the afternoon
gonna have to be daniel for me. Can't wait to honor one of America's finest.
1st Murph: With 20# vest, partitioned Cindy style - 48:50
2nd Murph: No vest, partitioned Angie style - 57:34
3rd Murph: No vest, partitioned Cindy style - 47:38
Total time - 2:34:03 continuous clock
Hung rings for pullups. I had some bad DOMS starting this workout in my quads and elbows so I had to keep the intensity low. Not as fast as I hoped to finish but it was worth every minute.

Worked on Weighted pull ups and overhead squats.
a real challege would be if someone did all the hero workouts in one day. that would be bad ass.
27 / M / 175
Oh I feel like having fun, Nate it is
2 Muscle ups
4 Hand Stand Push Ups
8 2-Pood Kettlebell swings
For 20 minutes, Max amount of sets that is!
Thinking about doing Murph or Grif, but if this Typhoon hits Okinawa running outside may become difficult.
How come we don't do the 3 day template anymore?
Day 1: Met Con
Day 2: Met Con/Gymnastics Movements
Day 3: Met Con/Gymnastics Movements/Weights
Day 4: Rest
MY VERY LEAST FAVORITE WOD OF ALL TIME IS "MURPH"
SO THIS IS WHAT WILL BE DONE...PAIN WILL BE MY GAIN.
FIREFIGHTER J. JOHNSON...I'LL PICK THIS ONE UP.

Never forget why we fight. Never forget who and what we fight. Most of all, never forget those who do our fighting.
Thanks to every sailor, soldier, marine, and airman out there.
My Army instincts are telling me it's going to be Daniel today.
#91 Mike - I'm hoping Sinlaku hits us square in the mouth. I'll be out on the Hansen athletic field tomorrow kicking Murph come hell or high water (and there's a solid chance of both ;)
JT in 12:29
Another beautiful day at Camp Stryker
Comment #38 - Posted by: sena
I agree we can all do more but I think you could have chosen your words better. We can give more and still honor others with the effort to be our own personal best. The freedoms they gave us makes this website possible.
Don't question some one elses' patriotism or honor for giving a meaningfull tribute just because in your mind it's not enough. Nothing I coud ever do will be enough to repay the sacrifice of so many that have allowed me to live free.
My son is currently on the delayed entry prog. for the USMC.
Yes, we can all do more but you don't need to trash someone elses' tribute to make that point. Your comments were offensive.
COMMENT # 357 "JAEGER" FROM YESTERDAY.
YOU ARE FARTHER A LONG THAN I WAS AT THIS SAME TIME. THE FOLLOWING HELPED ME.
WORK ON WEIGHTED DEEP DIPS ON THE BAR AND RINGS.
PRACTICE THE ROWING MUSCLE-UP.
TAKE A BREAK...PRACTICE 2 TIMES A WEEK ONLY.
LOOK AT LOTS AND LOTS OF VIDEO!! THEN DO YOUR PRACTICE.
LOOK UP...KEEP YOUR CHIN UP!!
KEEP THE RINGS IN AND CLOSE. DON'T LET THEM OUTSIDE SHOULDER WIDTH!!
RINGS SHOULD BE IN YOUR ARM PITS...THEN START THE DIP.
THIS STUFF WORKED FOR ME AND IT'S OK NOW...YOU WILL BE DOING THIS SOON.
HOPE THIS HELPED.

#98 Al, New twist to Murph with a 1 mile run/swim/run in 80 knot winds, sounds like fun. Kadena's track should be nice empty for it too!
with great respect, its randy tommorow.
#38 Sena
I find that there is a general rule about statement qualifiers that always seems to be true.
If someone starts a statement with:
1) "No offense but,"
Prepare to be offended
2) "With all due respect"
Get ready for a disrespectful statement
3) "Not to be an ass"
Watch someone make an ass out of themselves
Your heart is in the right place. You obviously feel that the sacrifices made by these heroes deserves more than a WOD named after them. But in light of the fact that they were all crossfitters, I think they would all be happy to know that we remember them often and look to them for inspiration.
I know I have a great deal of respect for the CF community and would be honored beyond words if a a WOD were named after me. If it ever happened, they would have to call it "Whimpy White Boy" or something like that :-P
Good morning to all from MCRD PARRIS ISLAND, SC. I am combining Jason and Michael together to honor those who have given thier live in support of the mission and those who serve today on the battlefront, in country and in garrison supporting the operations over there. This site is a great site. I have many work outs created of my own I throw into the mix as well. I would love to share them with everyone given the chance so we can continue the mission of crossfit and expand the variety that will continue a limitless expansion. I am a Senior Drill Instructor here at PI and find it very appealing to have the support and honor given by those who created and are part of this. I am spending the whole month honoring crossfit in return by following the site WOD until next month when I will expand the experience by adding back in my own challenges and workouts caoticly to continue the learning and variety I now accept is what will bring our military, firefighters, police, coastal rescue and emergancy medical techs the ability to perform greater presently, and provide a limitless expansion of total functional fitness. Semper Fidelis and God Bless All.

Way slow, pretty much a disgrace to Murphy, but I must admit I was choking back some tears on my runs thinking about the sacrifices of the fallen on this day.
7 years may have passed, but I don't know of anyone who will ever forget that day...
Just want to say thank you to everyone in the services here.
Well, I did the exercise named after Lt. Michael McGreevey, which consists of:
Run 800m
50 back extensions
50 situps.
1) I did more of a crunch than a situp.
2) This really kicked my tail.

I certainly do not deserve to be on the WOD today.
This is an honor that should have gone to about a million other guys.
Thank you, Lauren and everyone in the community once again for your tireless effort.

Badger - 41:30
Great work out but it took too long. Next time partition pull ups and squat cleans and do the cleans right in front of the pull up bar.
I want to honor "badger" today, but I am a little confused. What is a "squat clean"? or does it means 30 squats and 30 cleans? or is it a clean that goes down to the squat position then stand for the finish? I want to make sure this is right before I start today.
also, May God Bless all Americans who wear a uniform in the defense of the citizens of our great country: Armed Forces, the nations PDs&FDs, and medical professionals, as well as, all of their families. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
doing josh,
dont really like the workout but i was there when he died (where the medivac landed not on the patrol) so i figure i owe it. good dude, hes probably in heaven right now flippin tires and drinkin beer.
I decided to do "Joshie" today. I haven't done it in a while and it's a total smoker. I used an 18 kg db and my L-pu's were off a smith machine. The L- pulls quickly turned in to one leg l-pulls and then "please God get me over the bar with my legs in front of me!" Great WOD. RIP

Train HardroCk!
49m/5'10"/224
warm-up: 3 x 10 sit up, push-up,tricep ext, preacher curl,back ext.,pull ups,air squat.
I'm having to adapt some things due to a continued muscle insertion problem in my shoulder.(I can no longer bench or dip) Also, due to football and being back in the classroom, I find only 3 days each week to get a decent work out. So, I adapt.
today, It was 3 x BW squat (225# at 10-8-8),DB presses laying on a stability ball 60# at 15,12,8, pull ups 4-6-6, and 135# DL for 8-7-8.
Any suggestions on the shoulder issue so that I can get back at this? I've been messing withit for 2 years now.
Here's how i'll chosse my WOD.
Go through the list.....the one that scares me the most, is the one i'll do.
i think its Murph.

Sena,
While you definately have a good idea, I will have to politely disagree with you on what these Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen would think of as a good tribute.
Volunteering as you say would be a great thing, but I think you are underscoring the pride that they would feel in having a Crossfit workout named after them.
These individuals and the other Service Members that they work with make physical fitness an extremely big part of their lives. 99% of these people absolutely love what they do, and are patriotic beyond belief. Being in shape to them not only keeps them healthy, it helps them to do their jobs better, and it helps them to survive in tough situations.
While I am sure that the Firefighters and Police Officers also feel the same, I can't speak about how those people feel as I have never been one. I can however speak from a Military viewpoint.
Cheers, Wes

I was expecting a Hero wkout . . . but I didn't expect this. Coach, what a way to REMEMBER that EVERY day should be "Sept. 12th"! Remember how we all felt as Americans, bound together and unified on that day? Hoo-Rah!
remeber the hero that gave ALL of himself for a tiny piece of your freedom as you make your way through today . . .
To hell with it, doing Murph. It is really sad that I have to admit I didn't remember the date until I checked the comments for todays WOD. Silent prayer for the victims and their families.
#126 Wes
I think you hit it on the head. I also think Sena has a point about doing something to better the nation, however it's a huge deal to most of us in uniform who do CF to do any Hero workout (randy absolutely included). It's our way of paying a little bit of sustainable tribute to them. Maybe someone will go volunteer once or twice or around the harder times of the year at a shelter, but having a section of the world doing something to remember those men that can be done repeatedly keeps them fresh in our minds, and reminds us of everyone else we have lost on that and other operations. ATW!
Oh yeah, JT in 16:42 today. I never had the rings to do ring dips before so I thought I'd give it a go.
OMG I am an idiot...
I just got it, 9/11, hero... I must pull my head out of my rectum (wonder if that will pass the sensors?)

1st day at CrossFit Statesboro. Did 1/2 Murph (1/2 mile run; 10 rounds of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats; 1/2 mile run). Time was 26:31.
I thought I was in OK shape for a 36 year old, but those boys smoked me!
Just glad to be here and be part of the team!

This felt great and I had 9/11/01 on my mind the whole time.
Driving home (6:30 am est) from CrossFit Generation I passed by a local fire company.
There were about 20 people standing around a memorial with heads bowed and at least 500 flags on the lawn. Gave me the chills.
Oh yeah, hey, Keith Olberman. YOU ARE A PR!CK.

Don't complain about there not being a Marine Hero WOD...I'll keep praying there never is one.
Thank you to all the MIL/LEO/FF out there who watch over us and keep us safe.
To all those who lost their lives and loved ones seven years ago, my prayers are with you today.

Think I'll honor Seal Jason Dale Lewis and hit up the "Jason" WOD today.
Need to get some muscle-up work in, and what better way than by honoring one of our heroes!
I always seem to have a better frame of mind when tackling a Hero workout. Seems like such a small price to pay when compared to what these Heroes have done for us!
Coach,
Are the Hero workouts only limited to US troops or are other entries acceptable? Because I am in the Canadian Forces and I am putting together a Hero WOD for a good buddy of mine who perished on Sep 3rd 2006 in the Panjwaii district of the Kandhar province during Op Medusa. Last week was 2yrs after his passing and I wanted to do something to commemorate the sacrfice he made for his country.
I feel that there are a number of canadian soldiers that follow the WOD from the main website every day and I think that it would be a nice thing to have one of our own in there too. That being said, I don't want to start a trend where everyone would come up with their own hero and soon it gets out of control. I understand that you Coach are probably the one regulating and controlling who gets a hero WOD so if the Hero concept of the main website is only for US troops I'll totally understand and I will simply keep this Hero WOD to my personal list of WODs. Please get back to me.
ok, I found the answer to my own question...
2.15. What's the difference among the clean (and snatch) types?
Squat clean aka Full Clean aka Clean = start from the floor, catch in a full squat.
Ok, In honor of "badger" and those falledn heros who have given their ALL for us...I will sweat this through, its the least I can do.

Wow, most Hero workouts are INSANE!! I have done Michael and Griff in the past, and at least I could do them... I think I scaled Michael a little though. Recently it was my first encounter with Murph, and even cutting everything in half didn't make it any easier!! ... I would like to do one that I haven't tried yet, but they all look insane!!! :)
Shane you are a monster....3 Murphs in row?
Chino that post stopped me in my tracks...
Don't know which one i'll do, somethin scary though.
p.s. quit the squabbling over tributes, to each his/her own, show your respect how you see fit, it takes all kinds to make this place tick.
Just finished reading Generation Kill...combined with today and the obvious respect shown by the crossfit community to warriors of all kinds, this is shaping up to be a melancholy day...did Michael, subbed good mornings for back extensions...26:04. Thank you, heroes.

Underestimated this workout. big mistake.
It's difficult to find the words to pay the right respects to these guys. I can't even imagine what the loss must have been like for their friends and family, but with the deep sorrow must come an equal amount of pride in what all of these heroes achieved,when doing what they loved. I'm not going to tell anyone how to pay their respects because everyone has their own way. The important thing is that they are remembered.
Daniel was the WOD for me. 25:42
I never meet him and will most likely never meet his family or his friends, but I did it in honor of him and was my way of thanking him for his ability to give.
My Krav Maga school has introduced CrossFit into our Fitness program recently and our two newly certified CrossFit instructors incorporate some of the WOD's into our Krav Fitness and Krav Maga classes. I have done a modified version of the Murph a couple of times and while it's challenging, I feel like it's do-able (at least the way I modify it).
I'm traveling on business this week and woke up early thinking, maybe I'll do the Murph today because I can do it anywhere and I don't need any equipment (I do push-up's instead of pull-up's). So I looked up the WOD just to see what was posted and there were the Hero work-out's! I was so touched. After reading through each of them, I definitely had to do the Murph in honor of the Lieutenant it was named after.
Thank you so much for honoring these Hero's and posting there favorite CrossFit work-out's on your site.
In honor of "Michael".

Going to do Randy, as it is the only one named after a civilian emergency worker. They don't have unlimited liability like the military, so for them to give their lives the way they did seven years ago, is to me, more worthy of rememberance than the deaths of all the soldier that followed trying to prevent another such incident from occurring.
So... I decided to do JT today despite having a strained left pectoral from yesterday's workout. Maybe not a wise choice but I wanted to do a workout with HSPUs. Haven't done too many of those in a long time.
As Rxd: 9:20 (PR)
Doing the push-ups were the hardest. Normally 21 would be easy to pound out but I was only able to do 7 in a row, then took a break for 2 - 3 seconds and pounded out some more.
paul
thanks man. i guess to give the complete story i should have included that i rested about 3 to 5 minutes between everything. i'm in the camp that says when it's a max effort you can rest as much as you want unless otherwise specified. plus i once got corrected by lynne pitts herself about it too. maybe on the next lynne i'll do it the brendan metcon way. both are good wods. thanks again.

I have never commented on this board other than to post my WOD's but i just came from my resistance training class and my teacher told me that the deadlift is a good exercise if your a body builder or football player but for an athlete such as a skier or figure skater it isnt a good exercise. So i just had to vent about it, sorry guys

Wow, that was incredibly hard after yesterday's WOD.
I have decided on "Michael" for today's WOD. I haven't run in awhile...speaking of running, has anyone looked into Parkour or freerunning? If so, what was your experience with it? When I was younger(12), I suppose that I did it as normal outside play but as I have gotten older (35) I am interested to know if anyone has done it recently. Either email me or post, if you would.

I appreciate your workout of the day for our heros. I appreciate all our military personnel our doing for us. What I don't understand is how you can put only military personnel (with one LAPD officer) on the hero workout of the day when seven years ago we lost 343 firefighters trying to save our fellow american's lives. We had two firefighters make it to the fire floor of the first world trader center tower. Why not make a workout honoring our firefighters for laying down their lives to help others?
I actually did this yesterday, but what the hell

Hey, it might be interesting for folks to post why specifically they have chosen their WOD today. Is it based on the movements involved, the familiarity (or lack of) of the WOD, on the story of the hero, military branch, birthplace, etc?
Thought it might be nice to read what causes CF'ers to choose these.

Today I'll be doing the Rob Miller WOD shown in the video:

I think this WOD should be named after Rob, I'm not sure he was one yet. Double Gulp, wish me luck and thanks Rob for being such an inspiration!

people wonder how you honor someone by naming a workout after them. you are honoring their life and the hard work they put in by putting in some hard work for yourself.
I only hope I can strive to live up to the image and standard these guys set for us.
Remembering these men today helps get through another day over in baghdad, and from all the crossfit guys in Creek company, thank you to all the families who have sacrificed for our country and for supporting us during our time of need.
After watching some "Calisthenics Kingz" videos on youtube a couple of days ago, I've been dying to try bar muscleups. So I decided to go with "Jason" for the first time today. Right shoulder injury started to act up in the last set of muscleups, lost a couple of minutes to wincing in pain.

Wanted to do a snatch workout, so tried Randy. 25 reps at 75#, 25 @ 65#, 25 @ 45#. Much harder than I anticipated.
I was all set to do Josh. Though I was deliberating between that and JT, decided on Josh since I hadn't done it and wanted to practice ohsq's. So didn't bother bringing my rings to the gym, I wouldn't need them.
When I got to the gym ALL the squat racks were roped off, to refinish the platforms. Bummed. Didn't have rings to do JT instead, so opted for Griff as the only one I could do with lack of equipment.
Griff: 14:34
I hope they finish with the refinishing soon and get back to normal.

I haven't picked a hero yet, but I already decided to do 110 flights of stairs on the stair master first. This is in honor of all the men and women who went in to the WTC to get people out.
trying to organize my thoughts ...
On the way to work I passed a big crowd of Denver firefighters getting ready to climb the stairs in the Qwest tower, many of them wearing full gear (maybe all of them). I thought, cool tribute.
Sena, I think your post came across as more peevish than you intended. As a civilian posting on this site, I frequently feel that I am not contributing as much to the public good as I should be, that I am in fact living a rather selfish life, benefitting from the suffering and sacrifice of others. Reading the posts here makes me want to do better and do more, and I think that is what you were trying to say. You're right that doing a really killer workout is just not enough.
I live in a neighborhood that gets its fair share of visits from police and firefighters. The elderly couple across the street has to activate 911 every now and then. There used to be a boarding house next door where the police, paramedics and firefighters were on a first-name basis with all the inhabitants. Another family had a domestic situation where their teenage daughter basically went nuts and attacked her parents. The cops were there for hours, talking everyone down and handling the situation. I thought they did admirably, and can't imagine having the fortitude and patience to deal with that situation. For them, it was probably just a fairly routine call. And then we just had the DNC here in Denver and LEO did a great job of keeping a lid on things and keeping us all safe.
Saying "thank you" just seems pretty inadequate. But, thank you, for all you do. Thank you for making my freedom, my orderly safe quiet life possible. I would love to just spend my days reading books and working out and earning my keep around the house, and I know that is what everyone would want to do. Some of you have chosen to do so much more and I feel inspired and humbled to be in your "presence" even through the internet.
I can't imagine a better way to spend part of 9/11 than going to this website and reading everyone's thoughts. Reading the posts from Iraq and Afghanistan just gives me chills sometimes.
I guess the civvies here can also remember the guys on Flight 93 who gave a pretty good account of themselves. I feel overwhelmed emotionally and am just trying to focus on the idea that we can all do so much more and maybe that is what 9/11 means to me from now on.

Seriously that was very stupid of you to say on this site. Some of us worked down at ground zero and saw the horrific way in which the N.Y. 9/11 victims came to die. SOME of us lost someone we know and loved down there. You can honor them however you want to-whatever you do in their memory is to honor them so what does that really matter? but to criticize the way we choose to do it on this site is incredibly wrong on your part. Im guessing AND hoping that you must not be a regular here!
God bless all those serving our Country. God bless all those in Uniform! thank you for your service and keeping us safe. Be safe always!

#38, Sena, writes,
"And, in a personal opinion, is a work out really a "tribute"? Volunteer for something; help out at your local school for a day, drive folks to help them register to vote, serve soup at a shelter; something that postitivley effects this country. If you can do that, that is by far a better tribute than pounding pavement and slinging weights and something that validates what they served this country for."
In your hierarchy of appropriate tributes, how does the twenty-one-gun salute rate? Is it higher or lower than "pounding pavement and slinging weights," better or worse than volunteering at a soup kitchen, and why?

Are the cleans full squat cleans or are they power cleans?
And please, no arguments today over what a "tribute" is. Everyone grieves and pays respects in their own way. It is not my place or anyone else's to define what that way should be.

Check out the 9-11 workout on Crossfitbyoverload.com. We did it this morning @ USCF (Encinitas, CA) and it's brutal... in a heroes-workout-deliciously-brutal kind of way.
I think this is a great way to pay our respect. Last month our Fire Dept lost one of our own in Iraq. I was proud to call him a friend and to honor him I made up a Hero WOD for him. It's called

There have been far too many pointless losses of freedom as a result of 9/11 for me to want to remember it.
I'm going to "enjoy" Griff this afternoon. The heros are worth remembering and I'm glad crossfit does in this way.. All loss of life (other than old age) is a tragity.
These old bones (older than even Ken C.) may need to rest today. Although I knew today was 9/11 I failed to look ahead as I planned the week's work-outs. We shall see.
The men and women who served and died on 9/11, and those who have served and died since in the efforts to keep each one of us safe, did and do so such that we in America may continue to live our lives in freedom. Our regular, every day lives, the ones we make our way through every regular day. Whether they be or were LEO, Firefighters, or in our Armed Services, each of them did and does go to work wherever they find themselves, doing a dangerous, some times life-threatening job, so that I may go about my day with that many fewer fears, with that many fewer dangers to personally confront. Having met so many more of you who do this these last 3 years only serves to increase my awareness and appreciation.
So what will I do today, September 11 2008? Well, I already spent a moment in silence in memory and in mourning for the civilians who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. People just like you and me, going about a regular day doing their regular things living a regular life. I reflected, and continue to reflect as I head to the office, that none among us who spends even a minute in reflection on September 11 is able to consider the life they live as regular in the same way any longer.
And so for the rest of today I will think, in each moment of my regular day, that my ability to have a regular day, today, September 11, is due in no small part to the jobs done by those who served and died on September 11, and by those who serve knowing that they may die in that service to this day. I will honor their service and their sacrifices by doing the very best that I can in the progress of my regular day, because that is what they hope for me and for each of you.
Each of us, living a regular day, free, means that each LEO, each Firefighter, and each person in the Armed Forces successfully completed their mission today.
And won.

I thought the same thing about the SOF guys that the army lost on that first helo. But the rest of your post was incorrect. When Tommy V. was honored on here with a Hero workout several members of his family including his wife posted comments thanking Coach and the CrossFit community for all they did and the inspiration that he drew from this site.
My workout was Nate. I met Nate at NSWU2 in Stuttgart and thought it a great way to pay respect to a great guy!

No muscle-ups make for a slow WOD. I did 4 ring dips and pull-ups per MU.
Wish I could have gotten more.
Forgot, a hero workout isn't any of the named workouts. I noticed some of you chose Grace. It is any of the named workouts in tribute to those TROOPS that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Seven years ago today I lost many colleagues in the UAL crashes. I also lost a good friend and his brother in the twin towers and was saved from losing another one by virtue of a dentist appointment. Additionally, a friend lost both parents in the fields of Pennsylvania, just after the birth of her first child.
After 10 years active duty in the Navy and many years of reckless living, I consider myself fortunate to be alive today and to be able to honor these and all "true heroes" by performing this workout. If only the media would read these men's bio's before they assign the term "Hero" to those that have given and accomplished so little.
There is a statue in my town honoring one of Lt Murphy's team (PO2 Danny Dietz) and hopefully he too will soon be awarded the Medal Of Honor.

It is also twelve weeks to the day since being shot during SWAT training. Was hoping to get released back to work today but I don't think that's going to happen.

No named workout, just did this hard and fast for all the Marines I have known over the last 28 years who have been killed or wounded in the line of duty, including

Scott and I were buddies at TBS. He made me laugh harder than just about anyone I've known.
Steve and I were workout partners in Pensacola. He was a state champion wrestler at Colgate. Every Saturday we would PT till we dropped, started with a run, then swam, then boxed, then wrestled, usually finished up with tennis.
Don White was my father-in-law. He fought through the entire Pacific campaign, wounded on Guam. Fought at Chosin during the Korean war. Retired as a Sergeant Major in '66.
Because I think of each of them every day, because they inspire me, because they enrich my life I name them heros. Semper fidelis.

I hope I don't get any grief for this. I did the 300 workout. C'mon, the Spartans were heroes...right? The workout and movie is what brought CrossFit to my attention (yes I know Gym Jones is no longer a CrossFit affiliate). The CrossFit article in M&F then got me totally hooked. Anyways, last time I did the 300 workout was in May. My previous pr was 19:59. Set a new pr today at 17:59.

To all that have made a sacrifice for our country,Thank You.
After my terrible experience following yesterday's WOD, I was considering taking it easy today. Then I woke up and realized what day it was and decided to do Murph.
Only the second time I've done it, but halfway through I was getting my ass kicked. I realized what day it was and thought of all the people who have made this country what it is and protected it and its people and I bitched out myself for being such a wuss. Finished in 38:55, 45 seconds faster than my first time.
Partitioned 10-20-30 for first half, 5-10-15 for second half.

Great 9/11 WOD. Glad to try "Murph" again since I did the 100/200/300 reps strict the first time I tried it. Over 12 minute improvement because of it!

PUSH-UPS CHEST TO FLOOR-25 REPS
AIR SQUATS ASS TO D-BALL-50 REPS
REPEATED THESE SETS UNTIL ALL 100, 200, 300 REPS WERE DONE THEN

Iron Woody Resistance Bands Muscle Up(black+green)
Iron Woody Resistance Band(green) HSPU
1.5 Pood so increased to 12 swings (American Of course)

a lot of time wasted getting in and out of the bands but it's worth it to get that ROM on the HSPUs and false grip on the MU.
It was a hard choice; I was in 2ID and I was in Ramadi, but sorry "Josh." "Nate" allowed me to use every piece of my specialized Cross fit gear I have here in the sand box and I needed to work on my MUs, so Nate might be my new favorite Hero workout...and Mrs. Hardy and Parker I wish it never existed. I am sorry for your lose but I am so proud of you and your husband.
Folks, remember when you talk about these workouts you are talking about a man's life...show some respect.

Murph as rx'd...56:26
did mile, then 10 x (10 PU, 20 pushups, 30 squats)
disappointed with the time big time, all of the 5 and 10 second breaks add up when its over 10 sets. Next time will partition differently. First time attempting Murph, it was mentally taxing more than physically, I think.
I picked Murph: time 50 min and 46 sec.

Cool-down: foam roll.
Strict pull-ups; road course runs; thruster squats to 11-inch box.
Wanted to go tommy v, josh or joshie, but was limited by my hotel room. Used two chairs for dips and went with jt. Doubled the dips cause no rings. Chairs were pretty unstable though, the rest as rx'd.

I think that this is a fantastic way to remember those that have paid the ultimate. Reading through the post and seeing these guys names over and over ensures that they are not forgotten. I noticed that many of these names were from a SEAL team who's story that day involved much heroism. I met one of the men involved while I was in Afghanistan in 2005.
Did this WOD at CrossFit Camp Pendleton. It was created by StrikeFO and was and AWESOME tribute WOD. Alot of vivid imagery and emotions were used to get to the finish:
"First Responder"
Dedicated to the memory of the 344 firefighters, 23 police officers of NYPD, and 37 police officers of the Port Authority who ran into a burning building when thousands were running out of it.
Start and finish with 2 Rope climbs.
4 Rounds, for time:
25 Box Jumps (24")
25 Air Squats
25 Pullups
25 Burpees
My Time: 41:20
I chose "Murph."
I did the workout in long pants and with the 20 Lb. body armor.
Finished in 1 hour 7 minutes.
I have a question for the others who have done "Murph." Today I did everything in order(all the pull ups, then all the push ups, then all the squats). I was thinking that I could probably finish at least 20 minutes faster if I broke it into 10 sets of 10 pull ups, 20 push ups, and 30 squats. Have any of you tried this, and if so, how much of a difference did it make?
Thank You.
9/11. Never Forget!
I did "Daniel" in honor of Army Sgt. Bryan Brewster, killed in May 2006 in Afghanistan.

Chose "Nate." Have never done it before because I could never do muscle ups until recently.
Finished eight (8) complete rounds. I could not get the two (2) M.U.'s in the ninth round, so I completed the HSPU's and KB swings, still under time. Frustrated about last two (2) M.U.'s.

Recently finished lone survivor. Intense. This workout was toouuuuuughhhhhhh, but I kept coming back to images of those men scrambling through the Afhgan highlands with bullets and bombs exploding all around them and I couldn't stop.
We didn't time it, somebody forgot to push start on the stop watch, but it doesn't matter. It is an honor to get blasted by a workout named after these men.

2 muscle ups, no prob
4 HSPU's, difficult towards the end
8 dumbell swings, hellish, definately the limiting factor on this one!
Done using a 60lb dumbell due to me not being able to get my hands around the weights on the 70lb one. Does anyone else have this prob? Either way, I think the extra 10lbs would have been a killer so in a way I'm glad to have small hands!

i really need to get back into HSPU's, i felt like letting lunch loose once or twice. ha
btw, i still think sena's point was good. i think he could have said more. i feel very proud as a member of our armed forces that there are so many people who remember our fallen by doing these WODs. however, how politically correct are we today that it "OFFENDS" us when someone believes we should be a little more proactive in our observance of 9/11 and tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters?!
Awhile ago I read "Lone Survivor." I had no idea Murph was named for one of the SEALs until I read most of this thread. In honor of him, I huffed, puffed, almost puked, squat, kept an accurate count, and did my best to treat myself like I was at BUDs. Those men are true heroes.

My snatch form needs work. Apparently I am starting from a full squat as apposed to more of a dead-lift position.
I guess it should start in a more DL position and than catch it in a squat to stand. I will look forward to trying this again.

13 rounds with 2 seconds to spare.
Since this is my 60th birthday I did my birthday workout that I've been doing (if I'm in halfway decent shape) for almost 30 years...
Bench Press BdyWt x MaxReps = 205x8
Back Squat BdyWt x MaxReps = 205x15
Deadlift BdyWt x MaxReps = 205x25 (no resting)
Pullup MaxReps = 9 (non-kipping, full range and controlled)
The only thing that's down over 30 years is my bench (I used to compete in Powerlifting competitions) as I do no specialization on them.
I don't really do these (exercises of MaxReps x bodyweight) during the year so this is a good annual test for me.
I was on track to do much better than this but 10+ weeks ago I pulled a back muscle and I'm just not patient enough to let it fully heal.
I'm looking forward to next year and blowing away my all time bests.

It was very hard to decide what my hero workout would be. So, i combined 2 of them.
Here is my (buttercup) version of Griff & Michael:
2 Rounds (was shooting for 3 but ran out of time):
Run 800 meters (2x track at Y)
Run 400 meters backwards (1x track at Y)
30 back extensions
30 situps
Round 1: 7 minutes
Round 2: 8 minutes
And boy were my hamstrings screaming! Ouch!
10 burpees for the challenge.
Shoulder still hurts a little but better. Everything else kinda hurts a little bit too.

I remember only too clearly hearing the loud noise of the first plane as it flew over Manhattan. I remember my friend who had just left for work in the World Financial Center return to tell me that a tower of the WTC is on fire and that he would walk instead of taking the subway. I remember standing outside with our two dogs on 7th Avenue watching the second plane crash into the tower, then both of them burning, and finally collapsing. I remember the people covered in dust and ashes and blood, and the overwhelming sense of helplessness that finally found some inadequate expression in standing by the West Side Highway and cheering on the rescue troops returning from their shift at Ground Zero where we still hoped to find survivors.
After about 24 hours of news coverage, streets without cars, air that smelled like rubber and ash, I could no longer sit and no longer pace. So I went to the gym where some of us worked out in utter silence. I hopped on the treadmill and ran all out intervals. I did the same today.
With tears and with sweat:
3 x CFWU

GOD BLESS AMERICA and the MEN and WOMEN who fight for her both home and abroad. The only reason we have the LUXURY of FREEDOM is because brave people everyday pay for it. Seemingly everyday I read about another brave soldier or cop who gave their all in the line of duty. As much as I want every single one of our women and men home TODAY, I SO APPRECIATE what they are doing.
It is easy to see the WOD and say "oh great MURPH, or JASON, etc..." I know for me, knowing that there is a HERO behind that WOD makes me want to give it my all. ALL you soldiers, peace officers, fire fighters, all of you who put your life on the line everyday... you make me PROUD to be an AMERICAN.
Now it is time to get some!!

In memeroy of SSG Joshua Hager (aka Ghost 7 and TASK FORCE) who was killed on February 22, 2007 in Ramadi, Iraq by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Josh was in a Humvee as the leader of a forward detachment responsible for settling the most volatile parts of Ramadi.
From all accounts I have read, Josh was not only a fine Soldier, but a very fine Ranger. He was awarded the Audie Murphy Award upon completion of boot camp. This award is bestowed on the man from that camp upon a vote for whom they would like most to follow into battle.
This is what his fellow Platoon mates said of him in a letter to his father (This is also the creed of the Rangers, but made personal for TASK FORCE):
"Recognizing that SSG Hager volunteered as a Ranger, he fully knew of the hazards of his chosen profession, he always endeavored to uphold the prestige, honor and high esprit de corp of the Rangers, and the men of the Ghost Platoon.
Acknowledging the fact that SSG Hager was a more elite Soldier, who arrived at the cutting edge of battle, by land, sea, or air, he accepted the fact that as a Ranger his country expected him to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier.
Never did he fail his comrades, he always kept himself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight, and ALWAYS shouldered more than his share of the task, whatever it may have been, giving100% and then some.
Gallantly did he show the world that he was a specially selected and well trained Soldier, his courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment always set the example for others to follow.
Energetically he met the enemies of our country; he defeated them on the field of battle because he was better trained and fought will all his might. Surrender was not a SSG Hager word. He would never have left a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances did he ever embarrass his country.
Readily did he display, the intestinal fortitude required to fight onto the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though he be the lone survivor.
SSG Hager Led The Way."
Joshua left a young wife and a young son. My prayers are with all of them, and all of the men and women who have committed to protect freedoms that too many of us take for granted.

Never forget those who gave their lives and serve today.
I read through the posts and I feel a tremendous pride...to be a citizen in the greatest country to ever have existed, and to be a very small part of the amazing CrossFit community. Thank you all!
Michael...first run was more like a 600m run to the gym, but I sub'd in 1000m rows for the other 800m runs; Last time I did "Michael", I finished in 25min or so; this time was not good - 28:44. But the rowing took more time than running and the back extensions were broken b/c my hammies are so ruined from all the deadlifts and squats lately. Still, I finished. I don't care if my damn leg was falling off - I would have finished today.
I drew the card of 'Michael' from my Hopper Deck. As Rx'd: 16:07 (PR) as last time I did this one was 18:24.
Never forget!!!
And I'm sorry Grif! It's in the cards. For those that don't know Grif was my brother. I miss you man and cried more than once today remembering you! I love you man and miss you more than ever!
Never forget!!!
I was short on time so I picked the "Griff"

While being incredibly tired, dehydrated, with a sore back, I pushed through to the end to Honor and Pay Tribute to my Crossfit Mentor, Captian Mark Wade, Company Commander at Fort Lewis, Washington.
Captain Wade is a true Soldier of Christ, standing in the gap for freedom.
Thanks MWADE!
Did as many pullups as I could unassisted.
JT: 18:27
Griff: 3:02, 2:03, 3:12, 3:12
Michael: 24:35
Subs: parallettes for HSPU with feet on bar in squat rack. Full ROM, upper body 90 degrees, legs 45 degrees.
Good mornings for back extensions.
High School football team were running drills as I ran Griff and I am sure the defensive backs were hoping that their coach was not taking notes!
To those who think that Hero WODs are "trite", I beg to differ. I think that they are a great reminder of the sacrifices made by our military. My awareness and appreciation for the armed forces has been enhanced greatly through CrossFit.
Thank you to all the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan and to all the American Forces!
We got to choose a hereo workout today, that is nice. Im at station 8 today and feeling sore from yesterday, I chose Micheal.

I am in Newark, NJ so I can see the Pillars of Light where the Twin Towers stood. While I was working out I had my Pandora internet radio blasting, the song that came on (randomly) while I was finishing JT was "Believe" by Yellowcard, which is about 9/11. That and thinking about JT made my mind stronger than my arms. Never thought that a set of 9 pushups could crush me.
Thank you soldiers, firemen, and police who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Thanks to the Canadian Forces in Afganistan (and all others).
I have been out for over month due to double knee surgery. And have been doing my rehab with crossfit for a couple weeks now. Previous to this a crossfitter for almost 1.5 years.
It was rough to say the least, but the thoughts of what happened 9-11-01 helped to push me so i could finish the WOD... thinking about those that lost their lives this day 7 years ago, as well as our fallen military/public services men and women ... and when I wanted to give up, THEY were my motivation and THEY kept me going...
This made todays WOD so special that I almost forgot how demanding it really was.

CrossFit Tulsa ~ Great Work-Outs for the HEROS!!!
The HERO WODs are my favorites partly because they are the hardest WODs, but mostly because on any day a HERO WOD comes up, everyone pauses for reflection on why the HERO WODs exist. Bingo said it best in his post, and to all those who stand every day ready to protect and serve here and abroad, THANK YOU.
#503 JD and to those who know the other HEROES, you have my deepest sympathies...

"Unhappy the land that has no heroes"
Did 32:12 "First Responder" today with a heavy heart.
As my legs started to hurt from all the box jumps and squats, I couldn't help but think of those brave men who had to climb flight after flight of stairs. Then the pullups and burpees came and as I was running out of breath and had to rest, again I was reminded of them again, as they rested in the stairwell, people running by them wondering why they would be going in the direction of the danger. Some people still wonder why they did it, why they ran up those stairs. But I know. They were doing their job, and they were doing what they loved. For those 102 minutes of their lives, they became heroes to us all that should never be forgotten.

Comment #425 - Posted by: Thomas Baklayan
Thomas,
Here is the ear full I got last time I asked that question. It's kinda a no brainer you're gonna go faster is you partition it, the speed vs. size of your partition is debatable, so do what works for you.
#83 Charlatan 6 - This is discussed ad nausem every time "Murph" comes up. If they wanted to you to complete each exercises before moving onto the next, they would say so (i.e.: "Angie"). As Rx'd is to partition, or break up the sets as needed (read: however you want - "Cindy" style, 25/50/75, etc...). If our word isn't good enough for you, then I would recommend going to the message forum or previous days where "Murph" has come up and do your own research. This has been answered by the powers that be on several occasions.
You can do it anyway you want, so if you want to go through and complete each exercise before moving on, then that's cool. Just record how you completed it and be aware that your times won't be competitive/comparable (if that matters to you).

do it any way you want - 100/200/300x1, 10/20/30x10, 5/10/15x20, 1/200/300/99, any way you can make it thru.

Man, I had a lot of trouble narrowing down which to choose.
CFWU x 3 (olympic bar not readily available, thus air squats instead of OHS...sadly PUs and dips on bars today)
Due to equipment availability finally chose to do JT. Did modified HSPUs, otherwise as RX'd. Time estimated on wall clock.
11 min.
That was TOUGH. I'm usually strong at ring dips but after HSPUs, triceps were dying.
Afterwards, did CF Endurance WOD from yesterday on C2 rower - reverse tabatas (10 sec on 20 sec off). Forgot how many rounds prescribed, ended up doing standard 8. After 3rd round, realized that by utilizing the rower's timer functions, it didn't tally after each interval. From 4 on, I noticed the following meters per round: 50, 49, 50, 51. Must have done at least 50 per round prior to that, so estimated at least 400m rowed altogether.
Minute rest, then 500m row: 1:48. A bit slow, but the reverse tabatas caught up to me after about 30 sec.
After work, decided it was time to do one more.
CFWU (again, air squats)
Griff, as RX'd.
15:13 (PR)
Approx 1 minute better than last time. Concerned I didn't push it quite as hard as I should have during second 800m run.
Thank you, to all the men and women who work and fight to protect us, at home and abroad.
Take care!
Hi kids,
Right off the bat i shall have to apologize. I did not to the prescribed WOD. And unlike some WODS which I skip, sometimes, with a smile and a "thank god" this one hurt.
Instead, I climbed a mountain. Hope that makes up a little.
Much love,
George
24/m/5'7"/150#
Shins are in bad shape, so couldn't go with any of the WODs with runs. It was between JT and Jason, neither of which I had done before. I've been wanting to get some work in with muscle-ups and/or HSPUs so these two were perfect.
Jason won the coin toss. Thought about doing both, but didn't have enough time.
Jason: 28:53
I think I could have put out more on the first sets of squats. For some reason I thought I might really have to pace myself to get a good time. Squats turned out to be a cakewalk, and I ended up doing a lot of 2s and 1s on the last 2 sets of Muscle-ups.
Wasn't very gassed metcon-wise, but arms were definitely feeling it towards the end. Tore a chunk out of my wrist on the 2nd rep of the 15 set. Had to proceed with doubles/singles and a very weak false grip on my left hand. Was tough!
Faster squats probably would have gotten me to 27:00, but not much further.
Happy to get some Muscle-up work in, in honor of Jason Lewis. Rest in peace, you are not forgotten.

This is a fabulous day to be an American. If I could done all of heroe's workouts I would have done them in their honor, but I would have killed myself. Instead, I did PO Jeff Taylor with a twist. I just love to do the hand-stand push ups. I get so much out of them. Anyhow, since I am in the military myself and I, too, have served 30 months in Iraq I added a twist. I ran a mile at full speed after completing the three rounds of:
3 rounds of 21-15-9 reps
Hand-Stand push ups

Before today, I don't think I have ever done JT, so I thought I would try it. It has been a while since I did HSPUs and those killed me! The most I linked was six. My heel punched a hole in my wall when I went up for one round. Mental note: put up a board...
Did ring push-ups for last round. Harder to do, but easier on wrists.

I wanted to to do a hero workout that I haven't done as of yet to honor that specified hero. I did the "Josh" workout, and during the workout I just thought of September 11th 2001. I am an engineer who works at ground zero everyday, inspecting the construction of the memorial museum. Everyday when I walk down that ramp, I have the pictures in my head of what the site looked like on 9/11, and take a moment of silence to honor all of those who had lost their lives on that day.
I would just like to thank all of the men and women in the NYPD, FDNY, the army, navy, marines, and all of those who risked, and would risk their lives to save another life. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!

I chose "Randy" because I hadn't tried before, because I need the O-lift work, and because yesterday I squatted, pressed and chinned and felt a little fried.
Not a stellar performance -- 21:06 as rx'ed. Made the mistake of wearing squishy cross-trainers. Weightlifting shoes make a BIG difference!

GREAT effort by all today - I'm proud to have them at the CFS box!

2x muscle-ups (subbed 2 pull-ups and 2 dips, 45# weighted)
4x HSPU head to floor

I originally was going to take a rest day, but seeing all of the inspiring posts motivated me to do a hero WOD. I decided to try JT for the first time.
18:53
First round was as Rx'd. When I tried to do the HSPUs on the 2nd round, I couldn't even do one! I resorted to pike pushups with my feet on the 4th step of my stairwell. On the 3rd round I did 3 negative HSPUs, then 6 pike pushups again. All ring dips were of the kipping variety. It is amazing how difficult regular pushup become at the end of each round.
For the families who lost a loved one on that tragic day, may God grant you peace, comfort, and strength to endure the sorrow you are feeling.

Way off my PR on Murph, I believe, but I don't care. Last time I tried it I got punked. I ran the first mile and had to quit after 8 rounds of Cindy style.
This time I got all the way through but the second mile was awful. Not even cardio or muscles, but cramps in both calves. That also happened the last time I completed Murph so I had to switch to rowing that time. This time I just walked for a bit and resumed the run. Maybe really concentrate on hydrating heavily next time Murph comes up?

Chose it because it's 3 difficult exercises that I happen to like a lot. Can't do MUs yet, and shoulder not good right now for heavy OHS. Badger was a close second - will probably do that one soon anyway. Great way to honor these heroes with a kind of "moving meditation."
