Back at it today with a Hero Workout. Lot’s of ways to scale, don’t miss the gym today! We want to see everyone here after this 2 day break

The Nate WOD Challenge, first held in 2015, was created by Adam La Reau, founder of One Summit, to honor brothers Nate and Josh Hardy. Nate was a Navy SEAL, Purple Heart recipient, and hero who lost his life in action; Josh lost his battle to childhood cancer.
The Hardy brothers are also sons of One Summit founding board member, Stephen Hardy.

The workout: The Nate WOD is a 20-minute AMRAP of two muscle-ups, four handstand push-ups, and eight kettlebell swings (two-pood).
Because Nate hated to run, “he was the guy that carried everything,”writes Maria Papandreou of One Summit in an email, the WOD is “incredibly difficult and involves heavy lifting.”
The numbers – two, four, and eight – signify February 4, 2008, the day that Nate “made the ultimate sacrifice.”
Muscle Ups: Muscle Ups should always remain 1 set, but today is an acceptable day for athletes to take 2 sets. Modify to bar muscle ups or burpee pull ups, with the most difficult pull up option available being used.
HSPU: Ideally unbroken, but today is a good day to let athletes who can safely do HSPU reach a little bit. Modify to push ups or DB push press.
KB Swings: Should remain 1 set. Reduce weight before scaling reps. If OH isn’t available, modify to Russian KB Swings
Coach Focus: Today’s Hero WOD is high skill and long, so coaches need to be prepared with appropriate versions of this workout for each athlete to ensure they hit the target stimulus. When it comes to a Hero WOD, we like to allow athletes to struggle (to an extent) without creating major sticking points that reduce the effectiveness of the workout. Coaches should be modifying each movement and rep scheme to ensure all athletes hit the target of 10 rounds, but that they are careful to not “over scale” the workout and turn it into a cardio only workout.
