Ryan Hero WOD

Background

Ryan honors Maplewood, Missouri, firefighter Ryan Hummert, 22, who was killed by sniper fire on July 21, 2008, when he stepped off his fire truck responding to a call.

The Workout

5 Rounds for Time

  • 7 Muscle-ups
  • 21 Burpees

Your score is your time. That is 35 muscle-ups and 105 burpees. Each burpee finishes with a jump to touch a target one foot above your max standing reach.

Scaling Notes

  • Muscle-ups: Jumping muscle-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups plus dips, or 7 pull-ups plus 7 dips.
  • Burpees: Reduce to 15 or 12 per round if needed. Step-back burpees are fine.
  • Rounds: 3 or 4 rounds if 5 will take more than about 25–30 minutes.
  • Intent: Keep the 7-and-21 pairing if you can. Scale the skill, not the structure.
