Sara Wilkinson, CrossFit, and Rogue Fitness present the Hero workout CHAD1000X in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who died by suicide on Oct. 29, 2018, due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast-wave injuries, and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad’s life and legacy, and to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
Scaling:
Today’s workout is a long grind. Complete as a team, with a partner, or individually for time. Reduce the load and height of the step-up as needed. If you have completed this workout previously, look back and use that information to help you tackle today’s effort.
Intermediate option / For time: 1,000 weighted step-ups
♀ 20-lb ruck, you pick the height of the step-ups
♂ 30-lb ruck, you pick the height of the step-ups
Beginner option / For time: 1,000 unweighted box step-ups
No rucksack, you pick the height of the step-ups.
Coaching cues: During each step-up, focus on keeping your knees tracking in line with the toes and standing up by taking your chest to the sky. These two points will ensure the best posture and mechanics throughout the workout.
