ROY

Michael C. Roy
Marine Corps Sgt. Michael C. Roy, 25, of North Fort Myers, FL, assigned to the 3rd Marine Special Operations Battalion, Marine Special Operations Advisor Group, Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command at Camp Lejeune, was killed in action on July 8th, 2009 in Nimroz Province, Afghanistan, while supporting combat operations.

"Roy"
Teams of 2
For time:
5 Rds
15 Deadlifts 225/155lbs
20 Box Jumps 24"
25 Pull Ups

Movements must be done in order.  Both you and your teammate can split up the amount of reps per movement before moving on.  Choose a teammate that has the same work capacity and strength.  Give it a little extra today!!  This is a HERO WOD!!  RIP Roy - Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Amy, Michael, Landon and Olivia.

Training Notes:
The goal is to focus on each movement separately and definitively.  You are NOT going AFAP.  Your work output should be consistent across the 25 min.  Changing weights and waiting for the rack is a GOOD  thing.  You are to work on Horizontal Pushing Strength, Core, and Power through proper row technique.
Bench Press - Maintain the same load throughout as rxd %'age.

Training Notes:
Deadlift/Power Clean - Should be paced to maintain consistent output - 80-90% effort

Bench Press 5-4-3-2-1 - In this workout each set is VERY hard. You may even fail on a certain set, this is not a warm-up to try a 1 RM. A PR may occur with this, but each of the sets 5/4/3/2/1 should be maximal efforts for those sets. If your best Bench Press is 300lbs, then your sets may look like 240(5)/250(4)/260(3)/275(2)/290(1).
