CHAD Hero Workout at the 2024 CrossFit Games

[@Trista_Lukaszewski]

Love this!! 💪💪 such a wonderful way to remember and celebrate the life of such an amazing man!!

[@QuintinMassey]

Seeing a man I look up to introduce another man I never got to meet, but that I honor, in the name of a sport that I have barely begun to love on Independence Day 2024… Damn I love my country. Thank you guys for coming together and reminding me that there are operators, of all kinds, out there pushing us forward. To Chad, his family, all the folks that didn’t make it back, and anyone else that went through or is going through what Chad did. I don’t know you but I ❤ you.

[@nathanhotchkiss4842]

Love it! Win for the remembrance, win for being CrossFit, and a win for being a grueling test of fitness.

[@andythesix]

One of my favourite workout of all time.

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

This is a bad ass work out, did it myself a few times, a true mental grinder.

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Any ideas who will win it?

[@abstractgeniuscomments]

@@CrossFitGamesTV not a clue, someone with a screw loose 🤣

[@RS-zj2sg]

I am super excited for this workout! Yay CrossFit games 2024🎉

[@benanderson5791]

Love to see Hero workouts at the Games But didn’t we just have “step up gate” in the quarterfinals? Hopefully they found a better way to judge this movement.

[@drewarnold6741]

It's in person so there is no review process... so maybe not that big of an issue

[@kiffe22]

​@@drewarnold6741That makes it bigger of an issue lol

[@courtneyolson5078]

My guess is the “twist” is using a balance beam at the bottom, stepping up to the box, if you fall down from the beam you go back to your last 100 mark…at least I think that would be cool and a good way to incorporate a balance beam. Doesn’t really matter, I love that CrossFit is doing something meaningful with the global platform of the games no matter what the twist is

[@M.C.R.SYNTRN]

Jocko should make his own signature workout!

[@PicklesSputts_2C]

He should name it "GOOD"

[@NarayanKulkarni-mu2yp]

May God rest and piece your brave soul brother chad Aman ✝️

[@JustinVaught-hh9px]

Imagine the no reps on the step ups

[@Pepesilvia267]

Probably. But might be easier because the ruck will want to pull them upright sooo maybe keeping the head over hips will be easier. It will be a coaching nightmare if CF doesn’t make the standard crystal clear. Nice part is it’s live judging so if you get a no rep, it will be easy to correct vs video submission.

I like it! Let’s see what some of the best athletes can do while all pushing each other

Have a more interesting comment or don’t comment at all.

[@chilledmonkeebrains]

Like the marathon row, brutal to watch or do😂😂😂

[@d.w.3511]

May God bless and watch over his family ❤

[@ianpapworth7879]

I love the hero wods, l did this workout few weeks ago I don’t think it will go down well the the public. Maybe after 200 steps 5 pull ups 5 burpees and repeat.

[@Dan-di9jd]

Last time I tried it, I managed to get to 500 with the weight, then 500 without. It was a good workout.

[@CrossFitGamesTV]

Nice work, Dan!

[@Pepesilvia267]

Gonna be great. When was the last time the fittest did Chad? Probably never. This means it will be way faster pace than the average Chad. It’s great IMO because most single exercise workouts are over in 4 minutes but this one will suck for 20+ minutes. Maybe it might be boring to watch but it will be one heck of a test of fitness. Having 45lbs on your back will crush the ability to breathe well.

[@douglasko8383]

It's a great workout and a true mental test. I feel most sorry for the judges that have to count the reps. The spectators can get some texas BBQ as im pretty sure this going to be nearly an hour event.

[@stefanierunz]

I mean, people watch golf. I think us fans will survive. Looking forward to it.

[@kyucklebeans]

Feels take. Golf requires skill and is fun for golfers to watch. Stepping up on a box requires zero skill and is boring for CrossFitters to watch. I guarantee you won’t watch this. No one will. Gonna be boring as hell.

[@stefanierunz]

@@kyucklebeansI’ve watched a marathon live stream, I’ve watched hours of trail ultra live streams. I don’t have to have constant excitement to watch a video of a sport I like with athletes I’m invested in. If it’s televised, I will watch it.

[@allenfish7166]

Chad is a great workout but… Flying to Texas to watch 1000 step-ups I can figure out why the sport is falling apart. Why don’t people want to watch this???

[@AdamS447]

I get the sentiment but that’s gonna be boring to watch

[@LameUser]

You can't always be flashy while finding the perfect tests to unlock the fittest on earth... sometimes it will be boring but effective.

[@Pepesilvia267]

Idk 20 minutes of Murph is kind of boring because the middle 20 is 600 reps. I think given the time domain of Chad, it will not be boring. IMO it will be similar time domain as Murph.

[@RS-zj2sg]

I love it! Can’t wait to see it😁

[@NicholasBrandon-qw9zw]

CrossFit: An international sports event or a celebration of American Soldiers and warfare? Why are athletes from all of the world forced to honor America's war machine as part of a sports event?

[@k_comino]

Beautiful response.

[@anni_was_here]

🤣🤣 I mean, this workout is mentally brutal and the meaning behind it is very important. But man, this is going to suck to watch as a spectator. People are traveling from across the freaking world, spending thousands of dollars, to come to the Games. And to do 1k step ups? 🙈🙈 ugh.

[@CoachJoelMaestas]

Dubai already did this, basically

[@georgehealy8350]

These type of workouts disproportionately fatigue the top finishers. I hope they put it last in the series of events, that'd be cool because competitors could really go all out and leave nothing in the tank. Otherwise, if it is scheduled early, it could destroy your legs for the entire weekend. Yeah without some serious improvements in tech and audio/visual displays, where the attendees can actually see how many reps everyone is on (hyrox wall balls anyone), this will be a mediocre spectacle. Will be decent on TV/streaming though if the displayed rep counts can be synced i.e. number of reps minus the no reps

[@Craig_Alexander]

Completely agree and knowing crossfit… its going to be event 5 or 6 and then they have under the lights track event and a cut down to 30. Gonna be brutal to watch and for sure we will see some heartbreaking losses of big names going. I personally think its gonna be like 2019 all over again

[@TheMarkimansur]

Bro, really! Imagine watching this, not fun workout.

[@tubelance]

Should have had a “every 5 min you have to do 20 PULL UPS /2 weighted rope climb “ kinda thing.

Nah I like the brutal simplicity. Sometimes you just have to keep stepping up.

[@motivationmore7025]

sorry, but too boring!

[@F2theLOW]

No offense, I get the tribute thing and all that, but the presenter, who ever he is, is simply awful. Sorry CrossFit HQ or media team, but you should pick your staff more wisely. And I agree with many commenters below - this will be even worse to watch than the half marathon row a few years ago. If CrossFit HQ keeps up the current pace and strategy of how the games are presented and rolled out, then CrossFit will rightfully disappear from the TV screens of the world very soon again.

[@091CASCADE]

Shit workout, why would they make elite athletes do 1000 step ups? Anyone can do this movement

[@Yungie201]

Then you try to do it with 45lb bag 1000 times. Lay off them cheetos

[@091CASCADE]

@@Yungie201 Lmao stay mad i said anyone can do this movement. Its like making elite dunkers compete in a lay up contest.

[@tubelance]

Gonna be interesting after the hubbub about hip extension in the semis on the step ups. Although with that weight obviously the pace will be slower

[@benleeper332]

I mean, cmon, everybody in the SOCOM community knows Jocko is a tool. Pick someone less divisive.

[@hardlylast]

That’s definitely not true.
