Do you remember your first "Fran"? What about your last one? There is always going to be that one workout you always remember. For a lot of people it is this one. "Fran" was not my first CrossFit workout but I honestly remember it just like it was. I can still conjur the exact feeling when I came off the pull-up bar. I looked at my forearms as they throbbed and did my best to pry open the hands, which I failed at for about 10 minutes. Still out of breathe and barely consious, I chose to sit on box while others mumbled encouraging words to me (I was so crushed I couldn't understand what they were saying). Sadly I can never remember the time I finished. Oh well, it was probably better forgotten anyway.
With a continuously running clock perform 1 power clean at 75% of your 1RM on minute 1. At the beginning of the second minute perform 2 power cleans. Continue to add one rep per minute until you cannot finish the set within 60 seconds.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by on Friday!!! We had a blast with "Grace" (sorry for making everyone wait to the last minute to issue the workout) and beer pong. I love getting people from the box together to do two of my favorite things, working out and "socializing". We have to do it again soon! Look forward to more social events in the near future. Like our upcoming anniversary party.
