Today’s workout is a twist on Fran, with increasing reps and the movements performed in reverse order. While this version is different, it can still be helpful to look back at previous Fran attempts to help build a pacing strategy for today. Choose a relatively light barbell load that allows you to complete each round in 3 sets or fewer. At no point should the barbell feel so heavy that it forces you to stop moving. Select a pull-up variation that allows you to finish each round in 4 sets or fewer. After completing the couplet, you’ll use the remaining time on the 18-minute clock to build to a heavy 1-rep thruster from the floor.

On an 18-minute clock: For time: 9 pull-ups 9 thrusters 12 pull-ups 15 thrusters 15 pull-ups 21 thrusters In the remaining time: Build to a heavy single thruster Take the bar from the floor. ♀ 55-lb barbell ♂ 75-lb barbell

On an 18-minute clock: 9-12-15 reps for time of: Jumping pull-ups Thrusters Every 90 seconds for the remaining time: 2 thrusters Practice mechanics with a slightly heavier load than in the workout. Take the bar from the floor. ♀ 35-lb barbell ♂ 45-lb barbell
