Nineteen members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots lost their lives on June 30th, 2013 while fighting a fire in Yarnell, Arizona. The Yarnell Hill Fire, ignited by lightning on June 28, 2013, overran and killed the 19 firefighters resulting in the deadliest wildfire ever in Arizona. Today we do this workout in their memory. June 30th was the date (6 rounds/30 Air Squats), 19 men were lost (19 Power Cleans), 7:40pm (7 Pull-Ups / 400m Run).
- Settle into a steady pace on the air squats. This is a great place to catch your breath in this workout.
- Singles on the power cleans right from the start is a great option in this workout. Another great option is to alternate between touch and go sets and singles to help move through the cleans a little faster.
- Singles on the strict pull-ups is also a great option if these tend to break down quickly for you. Another option could be to hold on for 4-5 reps, then take a quick break, then finish out the last 2-3 reps as singles.
- Let's find a steady pace on the 400m runs. The only run we really want to push is the very last one.
