HERO WITHIN US ALL...

When a new Hero WOD hits the USCF website, it gives people who never knew about this individual an opportunity to give our heartfelt condolences for their sacrifice. Each time a Hero WOD is repeated, millions know their name and see their sacrifice. We often think about the temporary pain of the moment but we are reminded to endure because of men such as Joshua. Take heart in knowing that our country is safe because of people like Joshua Hager and all of our “Hero’s”.

Skills:  Technique work on pullups.  DH ladder 1- 6 - 1
