Today's workout, The Chief, was introduced to the CrossFit community on September 14, 2008. CrossFit described it as follows:
"Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, "The Chiefs" have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate "The Chief" in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country." Coach Leslie's brother, Kirk Allen, is retired Chief Petty Officer. Today, when you do this workout, please give thanks to CPO Allen, and all of his fellow Chiefs. Go Navy! The Chief For 5 cycles: AMRAP in 3 mins of: 3 Power Cleans, 135/95 lbs 6 Push-ups 9 Air Squats Rest 1 min between each cycle. For each cycle restart the AMRAP.
