Michael Hero WOD

Background

Michael is named after Navy Lieutenant Michael McGreevy, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005.

The Workout

3 Rounds for Time

  • 800m Run
  • 50 Back Extensions
  • 50 Sit-ups

Your score is your time. Use a GHD for back extensions if you have one; otherwise use a Roman chair or floor hip extensions.

Scaling Notes

  • Run: Reduce to 400m if the 800m forces a long walk.
  • Volume: Drop back extensions and sit-ups to 30 or 25 per round.
  • Back extensions: Good-mornings with a light barbell or Superman holds if you do not have a GHD.
  • Sit-ups: Anchored sit-ups or crunches if midline endurance is the limiter.
