WOD 08 - Joshie

In honor of Army Staff Sergeant Joshua Whitaker, 23, of Long Beach, CA who was killed in Afghanistan May 15th, 2007.

First posted 22 December 2007

40 pound Dumbbell snatch, 21 reps, right arm
21 L Pull-ups
40 pound Dumbbell snatch, 21 reps, left arm
21 L Pull-ups
The snatches are full squat snatches.

3 rounds for time.

After watching the video, I realized that not all of my reps in both the snatches or pull-ups would have passed competition standards but oh well, that's all I got.  Those L-Pull ups made that a very difficult WOD both mentally and physically.  I can only imagine how strong SSGT Whitaker was; RIP Hero.
