1/18/13 WOD

5-4-3-2-1 Front Squats:

115-135-155-185-205 (PR)

-Then-

EMOM for 7:00
2 Hang Squat Cleans (unbroken)

I started with 150, big mistake.   It was awkward,  it was aggravating my knotted traps,  and I was thinking about pushing my back too much.   I ended up shedding weight until I could string together some good sets.   115#

1/15/13 WOD - Fran


I saw the WOD on CFES' site and got excited.  Fran is probably the quinessential Crossfit benchmark WOD - Crossfitters comparing their Fran time is like weightlifters talking about their bench-press max.  "What's your max?"  "What's your Fran time?"  Yup.

"Fran"
Three Rounds
21-15-9 (Reps per round)
Thrusters (95#)
Pullups

My last Fran was on 9/2/12. I used Rx weight, but scaled my pullups with a blue band.  Set my benchmark at 13:33

Today I set a new PR with the same setup, beating my time by 1:15, clocking in at 12:18.  Good stuff.

Here's The Biggest Loser's Bob Harper doing Fran:
