Schedule

  • Mobility Warm Up
  • Additional Group Structured Warm up
  • WOD – FRAN – 21-15-9 reps for time of
    • Thrusters (95/65)
    • Pull Ups
      • NOTE: Fran is a quintessential CrossFit workout.  It’s a couplet (two exercises), and it has one of the most basic rep schemes.  The workout is supposed to hurt, a lot.  What does that mean?  That means you should pick a weight on Thrusters that is going to challenge you, but that you will be able to string reps together.  I don’t want the workout to take you longer than 10 minutes.  The heaviest a guy will use is 95#, and the heaviest a girl will use is 65#.  The workout is supposed to be a “sprint” of sorts.  Top times in the world are right around 2 minutes.  Really push it on this one.  Don’t make the workout too hard for yourself.  If you find yourself doing 1 pull up every 30 seconds, you have lost the intensity that this workout demands.  Get after it!
