“Oh Fran, I Always Love Seeing You… Once in a While”

CrossFit is constantly varied, functional movements, executed at high intensity, where the aim is an increased work capacity across broad time, modal and age domains.  This is not a matter of opinion, like looking in a mirror and saying to yourself “I think I’ve improved my fitness.”  We seek measurable, observable, and repeatable data points that can validate our level of fitness.

“Fran” is a classic example of a CrossFit benchmark workout.  In this workout, we complete 45 repetitions of a weightlifting movement – a 95#/65# thruster, and 45 repetitions of a gymnastics movement – a pull-up.  For this workout, we can measure the distance that the loaded bar travels for each repetition and the distance your chin travels from a hanging position to an over-the-bar position, do a little math, and achieve a power output.  Our definition of power is work (force x distance) over time.  

All this mathematical mumbo jumbo is fine and dandy, but when it comes down to it… “Fran” is a knock down, drag out brawl of a workout.  She can tell you whether you’ve been training hard, or partying hard.  She can tell you if you’ve been fueling your machine optimally, or if you’ve obviously been fueling your machine.  You can game this workout, or you can face it head on and see what happens.  Oh Fran, I always love seeing you… once in a while.

What’s your goal today?
