The Chief

One of our favorite benchmarks, “The Chief” mixes some fast barbell work with quick bodyweight moves for a rapid series of short AMRAPS.  Our strength work will be mainly prep for the power cleans in the WOD, allowing us to make sure our first pull is clean (not a pun) and consistent!

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.
