Hero WOD 18D

Today we’re honored to dedicate RED Friday to all of the life savers in the combat zone, especially the Special Forces Medic – The 18D

OVERVIEW

Special forces medical sergeants are considered to be the finest first-response/trauma medical technicians in the world.

Though they’re primarily trained with an emphasis on trauma medicine, they also have a working knowledge of dentistry, veterinary care, public sanitation, water quality and optometry.

TRAINING

Due to the wide variety of missions, special forces medical sergeants are trained swimmers, paratroopers and survival experts, as well as trained in many forms of combat. Training for the special forces medical sergeants consists of 60 weeks of formal classroom training and practice exercises.

Some of the skills you’ll learn are:

• Physical conditioning, parachuting, swimming and scuba diving

• Using land warfare weapons and communications devices

• Handling and using explosives

• Bomb and mine disposal

HELPFUL SKILLS

• Readiness to accept a challenge and face danger

• Ability to stay in top physical condition

• Interest in medicine and science

• Ability to remain calm in stressful situations

Man made results

Work, power, endurance, time, and distance will give you the results you’re looking for. What am I talking about?

Grinders, or more in the terms of a crap of work done for time without rest that includes but not limited to linear single object movement is what will get you what you’re looking for! Your body is meant to bend, rotate, and flex.

Today you’ll be doing just that in the VB court at Roos Recreation Center, Forest Park, IL.

Gonna be dragged

I was wondering how many people can take it one step higher by adding a little more suck to their workouts. How? Drag something, anything with or without a sled, and I guarantee that it will be a different type of suck.

Today it’s gonna be our turn to add such a suck to our workout. We’ve used the sled once before on cement, and today we’re going to use it on a soccer field. This is going to be so much fun!

Today we’re at Mayfair Park, Westchester, IL

Breaking out a sled for today!

Man, I’m excited to pull this tool out just as summer is coming to an end. No, not a party pooper however it will give you an insight to what the fall and winter WOD’s will have as a tool for you to use.

Yes, this brings another level of Fun (torture to some) for all to enjoy. Having said that here we’ll be able to eek out some pretty decent evaluations as to how your hips are doing. What? You see there are times we don’t notice that one leg / hip is kipping or being used more than the other and the energy expenditure is higher so you end up a bit lopsided because of it.

Although you’re working out, I’ll be checking you out while you do the sled pull for that allotted distance so we’ll have a dual function with a good tool.
