Special Workouts - Dedicated to those no longer with us

[Nomad]

Gents,

This thread is going to be dedicated to fallen Warriors whom we'll honor with some sweat.

These are not going to necessarily be Crossfit style workouts, as much as they will be gut-checks for those of us honoring our fallen comrades, some of them whom we might have known, some who were like brothers and sisters to us and some who literally were all the family we had.

Anyone who is a Veteran or current USMIL can post their dedication in here and the rest of the group will post their results. If you lack common sense or pollute this thread with some kind of bullshit, I'll revoke your posting privileges on this board.

RLTW!

"The Seven"

Seven rounds for time of:

7 Handstand push-ups

95 pound Thruster, 7 reps

7 Knees to elbows

185 pound Deadlift, 7 reps

7 Burpees

50lbs Kettlebell swings, 7 reps

7 Pull-ups



Disclaimer: I modified the Thrusters from 135 to 95lbs and the Deadlift from 245 to 185. The idea being that you do your repetitions in one go, rather than taking breaks and doing 3/2/2 etc. Adjust as needed. Your HR should be skyhigh throughout this gut check. I had to take up to 60 second breaks between exercises at times.

My time was 36:38 min.

Let's see some numbers.

I am not surprised that you smoked me on this. Status check in four weeks!

I know he wasn't one of us per se...but Jim Harris (who is deceased for those of you who don't remember) from the 2/75 BFC had his own Ab routine workout that we would use to smoke ourselves or insolent privates...does anybody have it written down anywhere. That one was a good one and it honors a good man who worked tirelessly for Rangers, it can also make you see Jesus if you do it right and in a timely manner.
