United States Army Capt. Benjamin David Tiffner, 31, of West Virginia, died Nov. 7, 2007, when his vehicle was struck by an improvised-explosive device in Baghdad, Iraq, while he was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.
In 1996, Tiffner was nominated by Senator Robert Byrd to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He graduated from the Academy in 2000. After six years of service, Tiffner graduated from the Special Forces Qualification Course and was assigned to the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne).
Tiffner’s mother, Judith, said her son always wanted to serve.
Notes
This workout may be done individually or with a partner. If you are performing with a partner, complete the run together, then alternate whenever you like on the pull ups, cleans, and push press.
Any style pull up is acceptable. Adjust the chest to bar to regular pull ups, jumping pull ups, or ring rows if needed.
Choose a weight on the barbell that allows you to complete 7 hang squat cleans in a row, as well as 7 push press in a row.
