CrossFit WOD: "Fran"
95lb Thrusters, Pull ups
three sets: 21,15,9
This was my first CF workout. I couldn't even come close to the recommended weights so I had to modify it
first set (21 Reps): 65lb Thrusters, pull ups (6 unassisted/ 10, 55lb assisted/ 5, 75 lb assisted
Second Set (15 Reps): 45lb Thrusters, Pull ups (10, 75lb assisted/ 5, 85lb assisted)
Third Set (9 Reps): 55lb Thrusters, Pull ups (9, 85lb assisted)
Time: 11:17
It's humbling to find out just how weak you really are, but you have to start somewhere, right?

It is still confusing for me. Did you do the thrusters AND pullups? The assisted/unassisted, I assume that means the pullups?
Can you email me the link where you get the WOD?
Impressive Josh! Don't worry about where you are starting w/ weight and reps, most runners are not very strong upper body. You'll make huge strides quickly, I'm sure.
I saw the thruster video, what are assisted pullups? Is that having a beautiful young lady help lift you over the bar when arms fail??
Mike,
Yes. you do 21 thrusters, then 21 pull ups, then 15 thrusters, 15 pull ups, 9 thrusters, 9 pull ups. The assisted is the pull ups. I'll email you the link, (Crossfit.com)
Tony,
thanks! yep, most runners have weak upper bodies, I am surely no exception. You're right on about the pull ups, lol. OK maybe not. There is a pull up machine at the gym with a platform, you can set it to a certain weight then step on the platform so what ever you set the wieght to, you're removing that much body weight that you have to pull up.
