We have already said that the Hero Wod are tribute training for the fallen; are published to honor dead soldiers in service (and there are some who are considered i most difficult in the world!). In addition to them, they are also intended for exemplary members of the CrossFit community who, sadly, are no longer with us.
A curiosity, which many do not know, is the possibility to send a name directly to CrossFit, to create a special recognition WOD, just send an email to: tributes@crossfit.com.
Returning to us: I follow them every day conversations on the Telegram channel and I see the boys who compete in the most varied workouts. The most famous of all (many of you will surely have tried it), is the "Murph".
Amidst the tide of information exchanges and training schedules, I always see someone complaining about not having the right equipment.
So I said to myself:
"Well, why not make a list of the best Hero Wods to do without gear?"
And here came this list. While fixed pull up bars are easy to find, I have chosen not to include them due to the time we live in and we never know if they are clean or not.
All WODs were taken from the CrossFit website and practically involve only your own body weight.
Enjoy yourselves!
