Pull Ups
Burpees

With his birthday hitting a couple of days back, thought it would be a good time to hit this one. Christopher Scott “Chris” Kyle (April 8, 1974 − February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL and the most lethal sniper in U.S. military history. Kyle served four tours in the Iraq War and was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat. He received two Silver Star Medals, five Bronze Star Medals, one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and numerous other unit and personal awards. Kyle was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy in 2009 and published his bestselling autobiography, American Sniper, in 2012. An eponymous film adaptation of Kyle’s book, directed by Clint Eastwood, was released two years later. Chris was a devoted son, brother, husband and father in North Texas, as well as continuing his efforts to helping Veterans re-acclimate to civilian life and combat stress carried home. Kyle was shot dead at a shooting range near Chalk Mountain, Texas. His friend, Chad Littlefield, age 35, was also killed.
The three rounds represent his wife and two children left behind. The 4 movements represent Chris’s 4 tours in Iraq. The total reps for each round equaling to 160 repetitions represent his total confirmed kills.
“Chris Kyle” was first posted on the website of GOT CrossFit (Lakeland, FL) as the workout of the day for February 2, 2016.

*Do a 1:1 Ratio work/rest
Ex. 200M run take 1 min, rest one min, then start 400M run, however long that takes, rest that amount of time before 600M run.
All running WOD today! Want to get ones like this in before the heat really hits out here! So, you definitely wan to have a running clock going so you can see when you come in from a run, that way you know how long you need to rest for. Remember it is s 1:1 Work/Rest ratio. So, say at the At the 6 Min mark, I start my 600M run. When I finish my 600M run, the clock reads 9:10. That means it took me 3:10 to finish the 600M run. Therefore, I will start the next run (200M run of round 2) at the 12:20 mark (9:10 plus 3 minutes and 10 seconds puts me at 12:20). The WOD ends after you finish the final 600M run.

Once you finish the burpees, pick back up wherever you left off in the WOD. This continues for all 15 minutes. If you don’t have a box, use a bench or stool for the jump overs. If none are available, perform a tuck jump with forward movement, but do one, turn around, and then do the next. Video courtesy of Ashleigh Kast

Except for the first run, treat the runs as a recovery period. That way you come into the rounds of “Cindy” fresh as possible and can really attack them.

Videos courtesy of Train FTW. : For the weighted sit ups, get in a butterfly sit up position, with the arms extended like you were doing a bench press. From there, begin your sit up. As you come up, move the arms to an overhead position. If you do not have a plate, do this same movement with a DB, KB, or weighted object. If too difficult to do weighted, do with no weight, but still move the arms in the same position
For Plate Ground To Overhead
Set-up: Feet in squat stance. Flat back. Plate between feet with straight arms. Weight distributed across whole foot.
Execution: Keeping shoulders over the plate and back flat, deadlift to the mid-thigh. Aggressively extend the hips and knees. Shrug upwards. Pull elbows high and outside. Punch up to lockout arms. Do not re-bend the legs.
If you do not have access to a plate, you can do these movements with a dumbbell or kettlebell, or any weighted object you have at the house (2-liter bottle, detergent bottle, 12-pack of cans, case of water, etc…)
Scaling Options:
Plate weight -> 15/5 -> as needed (elite – 45/25) if no plate, use DB or KB or weighted object
