31Heroes – Aug 26, 2023

Workout of the Day

“31 Heroes – Workout to Remember”

AMRAP in 31 minutes:

  • Wreck bag run
  • Barbell thrusters
  • Rope climbs
  • Box jumps

WOD Notes: While teammate #1 is running, #2 is completing thrusters, #3 is doing rope climbs and #4 is jumping. When the runner returns, everyone moves forward one station. The team’s score is the total number of thrusters, rope climbs and box jumps completed in 31 minutes.

  • Many teams choose to not keep track of reps, and that’s fine too! All we ask is you push yourself for 31 minutes in honor of the 31 heroes.
  • If you can’t climb a rope, the official sub is pull-ups or ring rows, where every 5 reps = 1 rope climb.

Level Options: All team members will share a sandbag, thruster bar, and box:

  • Level 1 = 50# wreckbag, 155# thruster, 30″ box
  • Level 2 = 35# wreckbag, 105# thruster, 24″ box
  • Level 3 = 35# wreckbag, 65# thruster, 20″ box
  • Level 4 = 20# wreckbag, 35# thruster, 16″ box

Questions & Answers

What if my team’s barbell is too heavy for me?

  • Substitute a front squat or power clean. Alternately, grab a pair of dumbbells to thruster (please put them away when you’re done).  

What if my team has more (or less than) 4 people? 

  • 2-person teams: Partner 1 runs, Partner 2 does an AMRAP of 8 thrusters, 6 rope climbs, 11 box jumps. When P1 returns, pick up where P2 left off.
  • 3-person teams: Combine the box jump and rope climb station. P1 runs, P2 thrusters, P3 rotates thru 1 rope climb + 5 box jumps.
  • 5+ person teams: Two people buddy up and rotate together. One person works at a time on the indoor stations, but both run.
