So this is day 79 of my 114 day challenge. I had to go to my apartment gym and so I used 2 45# dumbbells. I would have used the 50's but I wasn't sure I would be able to get them up to my shoulders. I am still protecting my right shoulder from last week.
Did 2 sets every time on the squats - 3 rounds on my shoulders and the rest holding them by my sides. It was just too hard to keep them on my shoulders, especially when I got sweaty!
Great workout!! ********************************
Dedicated to First Lieutenant Travis Manion, 26, of Doylestown, PA, assigned to 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, based in Camp Pendleton, CA, killed by sniper fire on April 29, 2007, while fighting against an enemy ambush in Anbar Province, Iraq. He is survived by his father, Colonel Tom Manion, mother Janet Manion, and sister Ryan Borek.
According to Manion’s sister, Ryan, the workout is comprised of some of her brother’s favorite exercises. “This WOD was very deliberate in the way it was put together.” She serves as president of the Travis Manion Foundation @travismanionfoundation, which provides resources for veterans and hosts community service projects. “My brother was a wrestler at the Naval Academy and had very strong legs, so this WOD is all dedicated to legs,” she says.
The “Manion” Hero WOD was first posted on the CrossFit Main Site as the workout of the day for Tuesday, July 19, 2011 (110719).
