First, we conquered "The Climb", next we breached "The Summit" and finally, this Friday we'll tackle our final Mid-Year Challenge workout, "The Descent". This is a 5 Round for Time, RPE 9 workout with Rowing, Wall Balls and Burpee Box Jump Overs. Looking forward to seeing which team ends up on top of the Fitness and Performance podiums!
We'll also continue incorporating more Olympic Weightlifting complexes in preparation for our Olympic Weightlifting cycle kicking off in July (more about this in a future email). Building to a Heavy 2-rep Power Clean on Monday, and working on Front Squats and Push Press on Tuesday.
The HERO workout "VIOLA" is programmed for Saturday. U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alex Viola, 29, was killed Nov. 17, 2013, in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, from wounds caused by an improvised explosive device. Originally from Keller, Texas, Viola was an engineer assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. He was awarded numerous awards for his service, including the Army Achievement Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Army Good Conduct Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the Army Service Ribbon. Viola traveled often and worked out at many CrossFit affiliates. Some of his favorite movements were pull-ups, power snatches and power cleans. He also enjoyed running.
