The Workout for Friday November 11th, Veteran's Day

On those days when our great nation takes time to honor those who have served their country with military service, we like to pay tribute by performing one of Crossfit's "Hero" Workouts of the Day (WOD).  Tomorrow's workout is known as "The Chief". Here's a little background:

Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, "The Chiefs" have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate "The Chief" in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country.

Thank you to all have and are serving the greatest country in the world.

"The Chief" goes as follows:

Five 3 Minute rounds of:
3 Power Cleans
6 Push Ups
9 Squats

Complete the cycle as many times as possible every three minutes. Rest one minute between rounds.
