"THE FIRE CHIEF" HERO WOD Workout
Every 3 minutes (for 6 Rounds) in 18 minutes:
6 Burpees
18 Alternating DB Snatches 20/12,5kg (50/35lbs)
7 T2B (Toes-to-bar)
9 Goblet Squats 16/12kg (50/35lbs)
With a running clock, perform the prescribed work in the order written in 3 minutes for 6 rounds. Record the time it takes to complete each round. You have 3 minutes to complete all 4 movements. Rest during whatever time is left after you’re done. For example, if it takes you 2 minutes to complete all the movements, you have 1 minute to rest before the next interval starts. Repeat this interval every 3 minutes until you have completed 6 rounds (i.e. this workout will be 18 minutes total).
Score is the time of the slowest round.
Scaling
The recommended weight for the dumbbell snatches and goblet squats is 50 lbs for men, 35 lbs for women, but scale accordingly. If you cannot do Toes-to-Bar, do Knees-to-Elbows or Hanging Knee Raises. If you don’t have a Pull-Up bar, do V-Ups on the ground.
