HONOR THE FALLEN...BY CHALLENGING THE LIVING
It's Memorial Day week and we're getting after it. This week we're stepping it up a notch as a small token to honor those who have sacrificed so much for us. Beginning Tuesday and running through Memorial Day we'll be hitting up a different Hero WOD to memorialize those who gave their lives so we may be free.

Monday and Wednesday we will still test out our maxes so that the following week we can flow into a much needed deload week before we start back up with a new cycle. So below you'll see a day by day schedule of what's in store:

Monday:
Test out front squat max then end with a bodyweight circuit finisher

On Nov. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a terrorist named Major Nidal Hasan attacked fellow soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. When the shooting ended, he had killed 12 soldiers and one civilian and wounded 43 others.

Spc. Frederick Greene, 29, of Mountain City, Tennessee, Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka, 19, of West Jordan, Utah, Pfc. Michael Pearson, 22, of Bolingbrook, Illinois, and Spc. Kham Xiong, 23, of St. Paul, Minnesota, along with eleven of the wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion, home to Lumberjack CrossFit.

This workout is in honor of these soldiers, one month after the murderous rampage. We are asking the CrossFit community to make donations in honor of these soldiers at cflumberjack.org.
