Hero Workout: Zachary Tellier
The Hero WOD "Zachary Tellier" is a challenging tribute workout dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving his country. This workout is structured as an escalating ladder of bodyweight movements, testing your stamina, strength, and mental toughness while honoring Tellier's heroism.
CrossFit Hero WOD: Larry
Hero WOD "Larry" is a grueling workout that tests your stamina, mental toughness, and overall fitness. Dedicated to U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Larry D. Harris, Jr., this workout reflects his bravery and selflessness. It's a task-priority workout with descending reps of front squats and lateral burpees, with a 200-meter sandbag carry (or plate carry) after each round. The workout is capped at 30 minutes.
CrossFit Hero WOD: Andy
Break Up Reps Strategically: For the thrusters and deadlifts, break the reps into manageable sets from the start. Avoid burnout in the early stages to keep energy for the long haul. For instance, try breaking thrusters into 5 sets of 5, and deadlifts into sets of 10-15.
Pace Yourself on the Run: The 1.5-mile run falls in the middle, so don’t go all-out. Find a steady pace to conserve energy for the second half of the workout. This run is about keeping your heart rate manageable rather than sprinting.
CrossFit Hero WOD: Nate
In honor of Chief Petty Officer Nate Hardy, who was killed Sunday February 4, 2008 during combat operations in Iraq. Nate is survived by his wife, Mindi, and his infant son Parker.
