11.11.2023. Hero WOD CHAD1000x

CHAD 1000X

The Workout

1,000 box step-ups completed as a team, partner, or individual for time.

3 OPTIONS:
1. Slick/Beginner // No rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
2. Standard/Intermediate // 30#/20# rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
3. Expert // 45#30# rucksack. Use 20" box for step-ups.

“Even while serving as a SEAL, Chad took time to scale up to the Expert version. There is zero shame in starting Slick, or with Standard weight, or in sharing the steps with a friend.”
— Sara Wilkinson

Background: This hero workout is dedicated to Police Officer Sean Tuder of the Mobile, AL, Police Department who was fatally shot on January 20, 2019, while attempting to take a wanted suspect into custody.

This workout was designed by members of CrossFit Mobile @crossfitmobile (Mobile, Alabama, USA), with input from Sean’s best friend (who is also a member of CrossFit Mobile and a work colleague of Sean’s).

In an email with WODwell, Susan from CrossFit Mobile confirmed that Sean was an active member of their gym when he was killed.

According to Susan, “Sean’s call sign was “Gang 3” hence the 3 reps of each movement, his favorite movements/lifts were push-ups, deadlifts and squats and the LAST workout he did with CrossFit Mobile was “Grace”, which lent some inspiration to the programming of “Tuder”.

CrossFit Mobile hosts an annual event on the anniversary of Sean’s death to perform this workout and honor his memory.
