Explanation of "The Chief" from wwwcrossfit.com

As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the US Navy, we thought it appropriate to inaugurate "The Chief" in honor and recognition of all past and present CPOs. Thanks to them and their families for their self-sacrifice, ability to adapt, tireless dedication to mission and devotion to country.

  1. A great workout. Tough but doable.

    I don't remember the specific numbers but I averaged 4 rounds per 3 minute cycle with 55kg for the Power Clean. Round 3 was the only round I didn't make 4 rounds, I think I was about 4 squats short.
