Be warned,

Score is total rounds and reps completed in all 5 AMRAP cycles. “The Chief is Dead” is a benchmark WOD based on the popular CrossFit Hero WOD, “The Chief.” The movements and the interval style are similar but this version adds 12 deadlifts (“deads,” hence the name) per round and a full extra minute per AMRAP cycle.
