1/11/10

This is probably the most famous CrossFit WOD out there, enjoy. Plenty of videos to watch on the mainsite of guys killing it.

“Fran”

Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
95 pound Thruster (female rx'd weight is 65#)
Pull-ups

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Pack:
Fran done well is a 3-5 minute workout. This time try choosing a weight that will let you do the workout with good form in that time. Be warned, the difference between sub 5 and sub 3 in metabolic cost is enormous.

(usually intermediate weights are 65-75# for men, and 35-45# for women)

Puppies:
Use appropriate weight
sub Beginner Pull ups, Jumping Pull ups or Ring Rows as necessary.
