The Robbie Miller WOD is replacing the push-ups and sit-up test at GORUCK Heavy events. Cadre Dan broke the news to us about this change in All Day Ruckoff Podcast 088. This was made in addition to some other GORUCK Heavy changes. One thing he specifically mentioned was that it is up to the cadre’s discretion whether the team will complete either the full or the half WOD.
If you’re registered (or considering registering) for a GORUCK Heavy then you should absolutely give both the full and half WODs a chance. It turns out the Heavy is the ultimate team event so your teammates can assist you during the WOD. At this point I imagine there are quite a few people breathing a sigh of relief knowing they won’t have to complete 72 unassisted pull-ups!
Even if you are not registered for a GORUCK Heavy event you should still give this a shot. It is important to remember that this incredible workout is in memory of a remarkable person.
Equipment
To complete this workout you’ll need the following equipment:
The Workout
As previously mentioned it is completely up to the Cadre’s discretion whether the class will complete the full or the half WOD. It is in your best interest to try them both at least once.
The Robbie Miller WOD
The revised Robbie Miller WOD (as featured in the GORUCK Tribe: January, 2021 challenge) is as follows:
- 3 Mile Ruck
- 12 Rounds:
- 6 x Sandbag/Ruck Rows
- 6 x Burpee Squats (Full Burpee with Jump followed by Squat)
- 6 x 4 Ct Mountain Climbers
- 6 x Rucksack Getups
- 3 Mile Ruck
The original Robbie Miller WOD is as follows.
- 3 Mile Ruck
- 12 Rounds
- 6 x Ring Pull-Ups
- 6 x Burpee Squats (Full Burpee with Jump followed by Squat)
- 6 x 4 Ct Mountain Climbers
- 6 x Rucksack Getups
- 3 Mile Ruck
During the second annual Robbie Miller GORUCK Heavy the ruck was only required for both 3 mile rucks and the rucksack getups. However this is *probably* up to cadre discretion. Bragg Heavy 2019 used the ruck for all exercises and movements so prepare yourself…
The Robbie Miller Half WOD
The Robbie Miller Half WOD is as follows.
- 12 Rounds
- 6 x 33 Foot Shuttle Run (One Way, 3 Round Trips Total)
- 6 x Burpee Squats (Full Burpee with Jump followed by Squat)
- 6 x 4 Ct Mountain Climbers
- 6 x Rucksack Getups
In testing the rucksack has only been required for the rucksack getups however it’s probably up to cadre discretion. Although Bragg Heavy did the full WOD they also used the ruck for all exercises and movements so prepare yourself…
Make This Count
Have you given this workout a shot yet? I’d love to see some times in the comments. Cadre Dan mentioned that it took most people 2 to 3 hours to complete the full WOD. If you’re curious about the Robbie Miller GORUCK event then I highly recommend checking out the All Day Ruckoff Podcast episode 040. That episode is an interview with Cadre Karl after he ran the first ever Robbie Miller Memorial GORUCK Heavy.
Finally, good luck with this WOD! There’s a slight chance that you’ll need it.
