Liberty's Torch
On October 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated in New York Harbor. A gift from the people of France, Lady Liberty has stood for 140 years with her torch held high…a symbol of freedom, hope, and the promise of America to generations arriving on our shores.
This October, we’re celebrating that anniversary the GORUCK way: by picking up something heavy and holding it over our heads. Welcome to Liberty’s Torch, a four-round burnout WOD designed to set your shoulders ablaze. The numbers 10 and 28 commemorate Liberty’s October 28 dedication, while every round ends with a 100-meter overhead carry.
Your shoulders may beg you to lower the torch. Lady Liberty hasn’t put hers down since 1886. Neither should you.
4 ROUNDS:
- 10 Single Arm Ruck Push Press (each arm)
- 28 Ruck Swings
- 10 Front Rack Walking Lunges (each arm)
- 28 Ruck Front Squats
- 100m Single Arm Overhead Carry (switch arms halfway)
Choose a ruck weight that challenges you while allowing you to maintain good form through all four rounds. Complete it with your Ruck Club, encourage your teammates when the fire starts burning, and share using #RUCKCLUBCALLOUT and tag @goruck.
