Featured Image – 31 Hero’s – 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 an Extortion 17 helicopter was downed in Afghanistan.
The 31Heroes WOD (workout of the day) was specifically designed to remember the fallen heroes of August 6, 2011 and honor their legacy of sacrifice (Featured Image courtesy of Wodwell.com).

31 Hero’s – 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 an Extortion 17 helicopter was downed in Afghanistan.
The 31Heroes WOD (workout of the day) was specifically designed to remember the fallen heroes of August 6, 2011 and honor their legacy of sacrifice.

 

HERO WOD – “31 Heroes” (https://wodwell.com/wod/31-heroes/)

AMRAP (with a Partner) in 31 minutes:
8 Thrusters (70/47kg)
6 Rope Climbs (4.54m)
11 Box Jumps (76cm/61cm)
Partners alternate 400m sandbag (bumper) run (20kg/10-11kg)

Partner 1 performs the workout listed above. Partner 2 runs 400 meters with a sandbag (45/25). When Partner 2 returns from the run, Partner 1 will grab the sandbag, and begin their 400 meter run, while Partner 2 continues the workout where Partner 1 left off. Mark a round completed following the 11 box jumps. This is an AMRAP workout so score is total rounds and reps at the end of 31 minutes.

Scaling: The box is on the higher side and the weight on the thruster is on the heavier side. The barbell should be a weight that athletes are able to complete 8+ repetitions unbroken when fresh, but will likely have to break-up into two sets during the workout.

 

*1 Rnd is 65 Reps/Rnd (40 reps for the run)

Score = Total Reps

 

LITE Options:
Int1 – 60/40kg
Int2 – 55/36kg, 12x Half RC
Int3 – 50/33kg, 36 Leg Assist. R-PU
Beg1 – 45/30kg, 61/51cm, 15kg Bumper/6.3kg WB, 12 R-Pull (ly to stand – str)
Beg2 – 40/25kg, SU 51cm, 10kg/5kg Bumpers, 12 R-Pull (ly to stand – bnt)
Beg3 – 30/20kg, SU 41cm, 5kg/2.5kg Plates, 18 R-Rows
