On August 6, 2011, a tragedy shook the military community and Americans everywhere. In a single instance, America lost 30 military service members, many of whom were members of the Navy SEAL community—and one military K9– when a CH-47 Chinook helicopter, call sign Extortion 17, was downed in Afghanistan.

This WOD is in honor of these fallen Heroes.

25min AMRAP:

15 KB Swings (53/35)

The name of the game is “steady pace”.  The weight/height/row pieces are manageable and if an athlete wants to test their engine, today is a good day.  But, to avoid blowout, athletes should think of a steady pace they can maintain throughout, and then push the gas toward the end..

Scaling Options:

KB weight -> as needed

Box height -> as needed

Cool Down:

Banded lat stretch – 2 min per side

WOD:

“Jumping Grace”

For Time:

30* Clean & Jerks (135/95)

*Every 5 Reps – 30 Double Unders

Taking a little inspiration from two of the AZ Fit Com WODs over the past weekend.  So, athlete will perform 5 C&Js, then pick up their rope and do 30 DUs. This repeats every 5 C&Js. The WOD ends after the athlete finishes the 30^th C&J and then 30 DUs.

Scaling Options:

Bar weight -> as needed

DUs -> attempts through 45 rope contacts -> 30 penguin jumps

“Cindy”

Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as you can of:

5 Pull-ups

10 Push-ups

15 Air Squats

Compare to 11Jan2018

Another Benchmark WOD.  A good strategy is to try to make this an EMOM.  If that is too easy, shoot for one round every 45 sec.  Big key – stay consistent.  Don’t come out so fast that you run out of steam before you even reach the halfway mark.

Scaling Options:

Pull Ups -> Buddha Pull ups -> Ring Rows

Push Ups -> Off bench

Air Squats -> to med ball
