Act of courage...


...or stupidity? This is the first time for us to attempt this hero WOD, so we'll know after today.

"Randy" - For Time:
75 Power snatch - 75#

In honor of Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member who was killed February 6 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Simmons' wife and two children.

I had no idea what to expect from this workout. It didn't take many reps to get my hard racing and figure out that I was going to have to take some rest breaks along the way.

Our times are pretty respectable based on the comments I looked through.

Yeah, I had no idea what to expect going into this one either. This was officially the first time I've ever done power snatch with a barbell for reps.

This DEFINITELY could have been improved with bumpers. The ability to drop the bar, and pulling from the proper height off the floor would have made a big difference.
