Each year in the United States Navy, a highly qualified and elite cadre of Sailors are selected and promoted to the join the ranks of Chief Petty Officer. Since 1893, "The Chiefs" have been relied upon by subordinates and superiors alike for their personal example, technical expertise and above all, their unique leadership capabilities. As the induction process for newly selected Chief Petty Officers is now underway throughout the U.S. 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.

Scaling:
Today we have a benchmark workout that was introduced in September of 2008. The goal is to choose options that allow you to perform at least 3 rounds per cycle. The load of the barbell should be relatively light and allow for touch-and-go reps. Push the gas pedal down on this workout and try to hang on while maintaining full range of motion for each movement. Can anyone reach 30 rounds? Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load and the total number of cycles. Let’s get after it today!

Intermediate option:
Max rounds in 3 minutes of:
3 power cleans
6 push-ups
9 air squats

♀ 85 lb
♂ 125 lb

Rest 1 minute. Repeat for a total of 5 cycles.

Beginner option:
Max rounds in 3 minutes of:
3 power cleans
6 push-ups from the knees
9 air squats

♀ 35 lb
♂ 45 lb

Rest 1 minute. Repeat for a total of 3 cycles.

Scaling:
Today we have an ascending ladder of ring dips and burpees paired with a consistent number of hang power cleans. The load of the barbell is moderately heavy and should allow you to complete 5 reps in 2 sets or less. Advanced athletes may be able to maintain unbroken reps throughout the workout. Athletes performing the ring dips as prescribed should be able to maintain consistent sets of 3-5 unbroken reps. Expect the ring dips and burpees to cause localized muscle fatigue and the hang power cleans to be a welcomed “break.” Work hard and have fun today!

Today’s workout falls within a moderate time domain. All of the holds and hangs are cumulative. Break as needed and chip away. To keep the workout moving, scale the L-sit hold to a variation that allows you to maintain at least a 10-second hold. Scale the hang to a variation that allows you to maintain around 30 seconds at a time. The load on the barbell should be light-moderate. You should be able to perform at least 10 reps unbroken with the weight you choose. Work hard and have fun!
