Warm-up as necessary before working through the following sets of Weighted Dips & follow on Static Dip Bodyweight rep test

Weighted Static Dips 1-1-1-1-1
Rest 2:00
Max Reps x Static Dips (Bodyweight)

Notes: Use band progressions as necessary. Those that aren’t ready for weighted static dips will work through two rounds of 5-4-3-2-1 reps of their current band assisted dips with strict form/execution. Rest as needed between efforts; for scaling purposes 30 reps of strict form, no kipping dips are what we consider the priority today.

“Annie Gets Abusive”
50-40-30-20-10 reps for time of
Double-unders
GHD Sit-ups

Notes: Scale GHD sit-ups to Anchored Abmat Sit-ups as necessary (Dumbbells or a partner to secure feet). Those with infrequent Double-unders should be subbing in 2x Attempts (hit or miss), those still working on their first Double-unders may substitute 4 x Single-unders where today’s emphasis lies in staying in contact with the ground for as little time as possible during each revolution/jump with the rope. Max turnover/revolutions = coordination gains = transference into Double-under ability.

II. 3 Rounds of
1 x Rope Climb
10 x Push-ups

“9/11 Tribute WOD”
For time
2001m Row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles)
11 x Box Jumps (30/24)
11 x Thrusters (125/85)

2001m Row or 2001m Run (1.25 miles)

Notes: If athletes begin the WOD with a Row, they finish with a Run and vice versa. The workout itself is completely symbolic of 9/11. The 2001 meter row represents the year the attack took place. The 11 reps of 9 exercises represents the date (9/11). Even the weights have meaning.
The 125lb Thrusters represents the number of deaths that occurred at the Pentagon. The 175lb Power Clean symbolizes the AA Flight 175 that hit the South Tower. The 170lb Deadlift is symbolic of Flight 77 and Flight 93 combined. And the 110lb Push Jerk represents the number of floors in each tower of the World Trade Center. -via CrossFit.com
