Workout of the day – Saturday September 11th

By: 0

Both Crossfit and EVF360 workouts have been modified for a partner or dumbbell version (respectively), but still aim at symbolizing the events that unfolded on September 11th, 2001 in their design. The Year is represented by the run and row; the month by the movements and the date by the amount of repetitions of each movement. The 125lb Thrusters represent the Deaths that occurred at the Pentagon; the 175lb Power Clean stands for the AA Flight 175 that collided with the South Tower, Flight 77 and Flight 93 were combined and is represented by the 170lb Deadlift; and the Push Jerk signifies the number of floors in each Twin Tower.
