Today’s workout is a hero workout honoring Italian Army C.le Magg. Sc. Roberto Marchini.  Hero workouts always present an additional challenge in some way. This workout is no different.  A prescribed the workout is long and has high reps of difficult bodyweight movements coupled with a large set of heavy power cleans. Scaling this workout can be done in two ways.  Reduce the number of reps in each round to 100 double unders, 30 push-ups and 10 power cleans along with adjusting the load to 135/95 lb as well.  If you are new to double unders or push-ups perform 100 single unders and/or knee push-ups.  Adjust the power clean weight to a load that is somewhere in the 60% range of your 1RM.

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.
