WoD - Wednesday 11th September 2019

A suicide bomber killed seven CIA officers and one Jordanian officer at a remote base in southeastern Afghanistan on December 30, 2009 after posing as a potential informant reporting on Al Qaeda. Seven new stars will be etched onto the memorial wall at the CIA where every star represents grieving friends, family and colleagues dedicated to fight against the enemy, forever in their name.

Killed in the attack were CIA officers Jennifer Lynne Matthews, 45; Scott Michael Roberson, 39; Harold E. Brown Jr., 37; Darren LaBonte, 35; Elizabeth Hanson, 30; and security contractors Jeremy Jason Wise, 35, and Dane Clark Paresi, 46.

"The Seven"

Seven rounds for time of:
7 Handstand Push Ups
7 Thruster (60/40kg)
7 Knees To Elbows
7 Deadlifts (110/75kg)
7 Burpees
7 Kettlebell Swings (32/24kg)
7 Pull Ups

This is a challenging workout, intentionally. There is a lot to get through during the warm up, yet the spirit is to go as hard as possible and deal with discomfort. Should you need to share a barbell, don’t stress, you will be glad of the rest.
There will be a time cap in place but I reckon that you will be ok with that.

Please get your times up on the board once completed.

Yep, Monday and Tuesday’s workouts have definitely left their mark. I can feel this unusual pain in my legs, causing my face to screw up even before my eyes have opened, right after I utter the words…”man I love those assault bikes!”

Not to worry, for the rest of the week we can all come to class hold hands and simply sway, left to right, in a sort of protest, gently chanting “F**K you Davs, we are doing no more functional movement.”
Good luck biatches!
