WHAT WAS YOUR TIME?

So, FRAN is one hell of a WOD, and even more it will stomp the living shit out of your ego.  So like most people say, "Leave the ego at the door, and shut the fuck up and lift!"



WHAT A FRAN LOOKS LIKE:
Three rounds, 21-15-9 reps of 95-pound barbell thrusters and pull-ups, all done for time.

HOW TO COMPLETE A FRAN:
Perform 21 thrusters followed by 21 pull-ups, 15 thrusters followed by 15 pull-ups, and 9 thrusters followed by 9 pull-ups. As fast as humanly possible.

WHY YOU SHOULD COMPLETE A FRAN:
Fran is CrossFit’s 100m sprint. It's a measure of fitness and a benchmark that can be monitored over time to record an increase in power. As a budding CrossFitter, your Fran time may be well around the 12-minute mark. As you stick with the CrossFit-style programming, a few months down the line you may shave 3-4 minutes off that time. Therein lies the beauty of the workout. How much faster can you perform these same movements over these same rep schemes from Day 1 to Day 101?

"FRAN"
