Workout notes

Today’s workout is a “Hero” workout from CrossFit.com.  These workouts are usually a big challenge in multiple ways. The barbell load for this workout as well as the volume of each movement is high.  Scale the load of the barbell and range of motion on push-ups so you can complete several rounds of this workout.  Remember that the number of reps in each movement can also be scaled.

Italian Army C.le Magg. Sc. Roberto Marchini, 28, of Viterbo, Italy, died during a reconnaissance mission in Afghanistan’s Bakwa district on July 12, 2011. Marchini served in the 8th Airborne Combat Engineer Regiment, Folgore Brigade.

While on base, Marchini used whatever he could find to do CrossFit, often incorporating farmers carries, sandbag runs and tire flips in his workouts. His favorite exercises were double-unders, push-ups and power cleans.

Marchini is survived by numerous friends and family members.
