Wednesday 12.29.10

Playing around with the new camera.  Makes the gym look big.
SWOD:  Thrusters.  Work up to a heavy single, but not a max.   

Metcon:
"Fran"
21-15-9 reps of:
- Thrusters (95/65)
- Pull Ups

For the thrusters, working to a heavy single will make the metcon weight feel light.  My best ever Fran time was after maxing out in the thruster.

Today's metcon will be another test that we will do again after the next three months of training.  The energy required for a proper "Fran" will draw from the glycolytic pathway, which is equal parts anaerobic and aerobic.  Any physical efforts lasting in the 2-5 minutes range.  If you scale this WOD, you will ideally scale it to be able to finish within this time frame.

Post weights and times to the comments section!  bc

  2. METCON: Introduced the 45Lb bar today to 1/2 my group. Hmmm maybe not such a great idea. 50Lb dumb bell thrusters. 14:07... I wasn't really this slow but spent a great deal of time helping my group with form.

    Kinda proud of this one especially after last night's "Total" disaster! If it weren't for LA Ryan's super awesome 3:40 I would have nominated myself for Gym Member of the Day! Haha. Good job Ryan!!
