**Starting off the week with our Olympic lifting day. Choose wisely as you build to your heavy 2 as we have plenty of more cleans to do in the workout.
This is a Hero WOD, which is a typical Sunday night workout. Doing it on Veteran’s Day (observed) gives all our members to experience one of these workouts.
**Veterans Day has been observed since 1954 by the U.S. and its origins date back to Armistice Day 1918, which marked the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front in WWI. Veterans Day preserves the historical significance of the 11/11/1918, but also focuses attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.
The significance of the repetitions in this workout can be seen in the layout where the 11 min AMRAP, 11 power cleans and 11 burpees over the bar represent the 11th month, 11th day and 11th hour while the 19 deadlifts and 18 pull ups represent the year 1918, Armistice Day.
