HERO WOD
7 rounds for time of:
11 Deadlifts, 60 lbs
100-meter sprint
Post time to comments.
*In honor of Air Force Staff Sgt. David “Sham” Wieger, 28, of North Huntingdon,
Pennsylvania, a special agent for the Air Force of Special
Investigations, Detachment 303, Travis Air Force Base, California, died
Nov. 1, 2007, near Balad Air Base, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an
improvised explosive device that struck his vehicle.
What impact does alcohol have on your fitness regime?
“Unfortunately, toasting your WOD with post-exercise drinks at
home or down the pub can undo all the good work you’ve just put in.
There’s 180 calories in the average pint of lager and 159 calories in a
175ML glass of 13% ABV white wine, so you could end up topping up the
weight you thought you’d lost through your fitness regime in no time at
all. For instance, if you’ve just run for half an hour it will only take
two pints to put back on the calories you’ve just burned off through exercise.
The way alcohol is absorbed by the body can also reduce the amount of
fat you’re able to burn by exercising. Because your body isn’t designed
to store alcohol, it tries to expel it as quickly as possible. This
gets in the way of other processes, including absorbing nutrients and
burning fat. So as well as slowing down the burning of calories, alcohol
gets in the way of the nutritional benefits of the healthy meals you
eat.
Running on empty
Fitness experts agree that to get the most from cardiovascular
exercise such as running or swimming, you have to put in the physical
effort. But while your hangover
may make a less hectic workout feel welcome, it’s harder to build up
the head of steam you need to stay in shape when you have a headache,
and nausea is beginning to kick in. The night before’s alcohol leaves
your body dehydrated, even before your session starts.
Body benefits
If you feel like the balance between alcohol and exercise is veering
too much towards the former, then it’s a good idea to consider cutting down.
Re-assessing your relationship with alcohol doesn’t just do wonders
for the effectiveness of your workout, it can also boost your general
health too. In fact, if you’re looking to reduce your stress levels, lose weight and look your best, then reducing your intake will help.
Best of all, cutting down delivers more than just short-term results.
Drinking within the guidelines means you’re actively protecting your
general health and reducing your risk of developing heart disease, having cancer and getting problems with your liver in the future as well.”
I think we are supposed to do 11 DL. That seems to be the theme with these HERO WODs. I also did a quick internet search on Wieger WOD and it had 11 DL prescribed.
Thanks Mandy.

After three tough hero WODs, just want to say thanks to all of our service men and women and their families. You guys are amazing and we appreciate you.
I just realized I did 7 DL each round instead if 11. Add 1:07 for 28 more deadlifts for total time of 8:01. I thought my time looked too quick. 🙂
