truthNot being preachy or anything, but saw this today and it made me think, if we reinforce these behaviors in our athletes, then they are sure to pass those traits on to their kids.

Sorry we’re a little late on getting this WOD in the programming, as we wanted it on 2Feb, the date of Chris Kyle’s death.  With the release of “American Sniper” a good chunk of America has been made aware of the life of Chris Kyle.  Back in 2013, CrossFit Fire created a WOD  in his honor.  Today we will be doing this WOD.  Description down in WOD section.  To see Josh Tran’s original write up when he created the WOD, click on either of the above pics.

Strength:

A) Back Racked Lunge
