Fran

21-15-9 reps for time of:
Thrusters
Pull-ups

♀ 65 lb
♂ 95 lb

Compare to 240325.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
If you have never completed Fran before, it is intended to be a sprint. Experienced athletes should go hard and shoot for a PR. Choose a load for the thrusters that allows you to complete at least 15 unbroken reps. Select a pull-up option that allows you to complete each round with minimal rest. All athletes should aim to finish the workout in 10 minutes or less. However, if you would like to attempt the prescribed workout, knowing it's going to take you longer, go for it. As long as you maintain form and technique, this is a great opportunity to establish a time. Intermediate and beginner athletes should establish a goal for this workout and create a plan for breaking up the thrusters and/or pull-ups as necessary.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the pull-ups.

To reduce the complexity of the pull-ups, consider jumping pull-ups or ring rows.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider front squats (overhead limitation) or push presses (squatting limitation) in place of the thrusters. For the pull-ups, consider one-arm ring rows or dumbbell rows.

Intermediate option:
For time:
21-15-9 thrusters
12-9-6 pull-ups

♀ 55 lb
♂ 75 lb

Beginner option:
21-15-9 reps for time of:
Thrusters
Ring rows

♀ 35 lb
♂ 45 lb

Coaching cues:
Unlike the gymnastics-style kipping pull-ups, on the descent of the butterfly pull-up, move your legs behind you and prepare them to move forward to initiate the next rep. (See demo video.)
