New Week, Benchmark…

We're going to take on some big workouts this week, so to kick it off, we're going to start with a short-duration benchmark, since we should be relatively fresh from the end of last week.


FRAN

21-15-9 rep rounds of

  • 95lb Thrusters
  • Pull-ups


The idea here is to go as hard and as fast as you possibly can, with good form. Take as little rest as possible. Hit this one hard and get as low a time as possible. I'm looking forward to seeing some new PR's on this one.

RESULTS

Seth: 5:32 (PR)
Justin: 5:41 (PR)
Jason: 14:47 (First Fran!)

I don't know why this relatively short workout scares me so much, but I have a hard time making myself start Fran.
I know the first time I did Fran, I scaled back the weight and my time was still much worse than those I have recorded. Showing good progress over the past few months:
1/17/2008 0:06:40
2/11/2008 0:06:03
3/10/2008 0:05:32

Before & after the workout, we played around with the rings. I know it wasn't pretty, and I didn't really start from a full dead hang (arms bent to preserve the false grip), but I'm counting it as my first muscle-up! And as it was post a PR Fran, I'm pretty happy about it.

Good times!
