Welcome to Week 4 of Superhero September—our final push before we roll into Rucktober. This is the last week to prove to yourself that you can carry the load, finish strong, and step into October with grit already forged. Quote of the Week “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” — Robert F. Kennedy Greatness doesn’t come from comfort—it comes from pushing into risk, testing your limits, and daring to fall short. That’s how you rise stronger. 🧠 Mindset Challenge of the Week Dare to Fail Forward. This week, take on one movement, workout, or skill that you’ve been avoiding because you’re afraid of failing. Whether it’s a heavy lift, double-unders, handstand practice, or a Hero WOD unbroken—go after it. 💬 Share what you chose, how it went, and what you learned in the community. 🔥 Final Push for September: Superhero September Challenge This is the last week of our September challenge. Time to lock in: ✅ Complete your final Hero WOD of the month ✅ Add a weighted carry variation (sandbag, dumbbells, ruck, anything heavy) ✅ Log your workout inside the group 📍 Find this week’s WOD inside the Daily Challenges & Events Discussion Board Remember: Hero WODs aren’t about looking good—they’re about grit, resilience, and honoring effort beyond ourselves. Finish this month with everything you’ve got. 💬 Post your completion updates—and share how you’re closing out Superhero September. 🏆 Competition Corner Highlight TRU Challenge (formerly Festivus Games) – Functional Fitness Partner Competition - 📅 Dates: October 18 or 25, 2025 (varies by host gym) - 📍 Multiple CrossFit affiliates across U.S. & Canada - 🏋️ Format: Novice/Intermediate/Masters divisions, partner competition This nationwide event is built for the “95% of athletes who aren’t Rx firebreathers.” Same-sex or mixed pairs, approachable workouts, and a supportive community atmosphere make this the perfect entry point into competition—or a fun test with a friend.

5 Rounds for Time: - 10 Deadlifts (225/155 lb) - 15 Hand-Release Push-Ups - 20 Box Jumps (24/20”) - 200m Sandbag Carry (70/50 lb) Stimulus: This WOD brings raw power and explosive movement under fatigue. The heavy deadlifts demand strength, the push-ups test upper-body stamina, and the box jumps spike your heart rate before sending you into a grind of sandbag carries. Expect your legs, lungs, and grip to be torched by the later rounds—stay consistent and fight for clean movement even as fatigue builds. Scaling Options: - Deadlifts → Lighter barbell or Dumbbells - Box Jumps → Step-Ups 💬 Post your time, scaling choices, and how you felt tackling this one. Hero workouts aren’t about comfort—they’re about resilience. Channel your Hulk Smash energy this week and finish Superhero September strong.
