U.S. Army First Sergeant Michael "Hammer" Bordelon, 37, of Morgan City, LA, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), based out of Fort Lewis, WA, died on May 10, 2005, from injuries sustained when a car bomb exploded near him in Mosul, Iraq on April 23, 2005.

Five rounds of:
135 pound Power clean, 5 reps
135 pound Front squat, 10 reps
135 pound Jerk, 5 reps
20 Pull-ups
Rest 90 seconds between each round
Each Round For Time

I warmed up with the intention of doing this one as prescribed but realized it was going to take a very long time and I may have hurt myself after yesterday's.  So I listened to my body and decided to scale it to 95 lbs and it still kicked my butt.  RIP 1st Sgt Bordelon.
