Rest Day WOD

As I explained on the track tonight, CrossFit methodology suggests that we build all muscular pathways to achieve ideal fitness. The perfect athlete, in our minds, is equal parts 800 runner, gymnast, and Olympic lifter. We develop the first two pretty well in the group WODs, but given space constraints we need to practice on the latter on our own. That's why we will be posting a strength based WOD to be completed on your own time during one of the two rest days or during the week. If you are looking for a workout partner, post your info to comments.

The following WOD is called "Fran" it is a benchmark workout in CrossFit (in CrossFit we dont ask what your max bench is, we ask what your fastest Fran is). Watch the video to understand the movements better.

Fran
Complete for time:
21 Thrusters (load should total 95 pounds including the bar, scale down as necessary)
21 Pull-ups (remember we don't care how you get up to the bar as long as you go from a dead hang to the point where your chin is over the bar, scale to jumping pull-ups if necessary)
15 Thrusters
15 Pull-ups
9 Thrusters
9 Pull-ups

Juan will be leading an informal group at 4PM in the SRC.
