“Fran“

Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of:
95 pound Thruster
Pull-ups

Post time to comments.

Compare to 081203.

The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently published an abstract on a study that determined there were/are metabolic and physiologic improvements from consuming a paleolithic, hunter-gatherer type diet. Mark’s Daily Apple responds to this breaking news with, I’m Not Going to Say, “I Told You So”

I never ever ever thought I’d say this: I’d kill for a run.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 5k. Or even a delightful 3k, if there is such a thing in CrossFit. You know – JUST running … and listening to my ipod. Heaven!

Oh! I just realized you weren’t talking to me. (Everything is about me, remember?) FRAN is the dreadful thruster, and someone has conjured her. Who? Who has conjured Fran? Admit it!

I did it. I conjured Fran. I wrote HQ and requested it. You are welcome.

Great job morning crew!! I think this is the first time the board has started with SOOOO many sub 15 min times. There was even a new female to go Rx today, I am a proud Papa!

In other news, I realized about half way through my first round of thrusters a little while ago, that this was my very FIRST time doing “Fran” alone….weird!

I felt pretty good, but the clock doesn’t lie…2:15 longer than my PR. Oh Well, it’s done.
As Rx 9:51

Something a little different:

21-15-9
30# dumbbell thrusters
CTB pull-ups
10:10

Thrusters were fine; only had one break in the set of 15, but grip died during the CTB pull-ups. More than twice my standard Fran time – yuck!

Fran wasn’t THAT terrible! At least she doesn’t wear out her welcome.

38#, blue + tiny, 13:43. That’s a PR over December 3 by 4:68, 5#, and lighter band (Dec. 3 I used green and tiny).

Woo-hoo! To celebrate, I’m eating a little steak and some steamed broccoli with almonds. My bad brown dog is barking on the balcony. I love him so.

Lots longer than last time but the Damonmaster CRANKED up my thruster weight…I am not a fan of the thruster.

I used heavier weight this time around with Fran and i was a little faster than last time. My forearms were throbbing like crazy after this workout and my pull-ups were just barely over the bar by the end.
