Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.

The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them.  We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.

Answers to frequently asked questions can be found in the Beginners forum.

We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.

Today, everyone is a Big Dawg. Everyone can do this workout as Rx’d. If you are unfamiliar with the lift or have an absolutely horrible air squat, go light and work on form.

I will do front squats instead, my shoulder isn’t flexible enough for back squats yet

15 rounds for distance of:
Sprint 20 seconds
Rest 40 seconds
Start each round at previous round’s end point.

BUY-IN:  400m jog, dynamic stretching, 10 squats thrown in for good measure

WOD:  1810m

CASH-OUT:  6X 10 burpees + 10 disc throws (5 backhands, 5 forehands)

No access to equipment, so my WOD buddy and I picked to do (since we missed it in the rotation anyway).  This was very taxing.  Luckily, we did it one at a time on a track, with the partner timing and using a whistle for starting and stopping.  All I had to do was run.  Used my burpee challenge as a warm-down and did extra.  Only 54 burpees in the hole now!
