ahhh “Fran”….my arch nemesis…tomorrow she gets crushed

i hope

nice one I’ve been waitin’ to do Fran for ages.

Should be a interesting workout after a week off………..

Fran is one surly bitch! did it in 12:48 which is weak but I managed to RX the weight next time I wanna RX the whole thing.

6:33 rx’d. I’ve never done Fran before….I still have that iron taste in the back of my throat….ugh

Nice job Lisa and Brad – way to go. This is my first time meeting Fran as well. Used 45# and needed the green band. Finished in 8:43.

14?? rx’d .. totoally got screwed on the pullups

6:52, first time doing it as rx’d. Def room for improvement.

oops .. rx’d is without a band right?

@cheryl
Righty O Cheryl.

you are a nerd Melissa…lol

5:47 Rx

5:12 Rx’d, which was more than a minute ahead of my previous PR, but i had way too much gas in the tank at the end. think i could probably squeek 20-30 seconds off of this time easily…

…oh yeah, no squat ball.

5:21 as Rx’d…..wanted sub 5 but ill take it after a week off and only really doing body movements the past month

went on mad PR run tonight but dropped the ball (or should i say the bar) near the end…no PR…finished in 3:43 rx’d
rd 1 in 58 secs (unbroken)
finished rd 2 at 2:10 then…………………
gassed a bit, lost my balance and dropped the bar a few times …next time I’m shootin for another sub-3 PR and dammit I’m gonna get it!!!

6:48
Rx Thruster
Blue

After warming up (read: procrastinating) for about 2 hours, finally went head to head with Shakey, which was great because she kept me on pace. Finished in 8:43 Rx’d. Last time I did Fran was at CF Toronto and it took me over 10 minutes and there is some question as to whether there was 55 or 65lbs on the bar, I think it was 55lbs. My previous Fran, at 67lbs was almost 13 minutes, so this is a new PR by 4 minutes! The thrusters were still what slowed me down but much better than last time. Need to get stronger overhead, the squat is no problem but hitting full extension at the top became very difficult and I even failed once. Definitely the limiting factor in this. As for pullups, if grip wasn’t an issue, I could have done them all unbroken.
This is the breakdown as best as I can remember:
TH: 14/4/3
PU: 15/6
TH: 4/5/3/3
PU: 9/5/1
TH: 3/3/3
PU: 6/2/1
