Where are the times for yesterdays Fran? Or did no one turn up bar Tony? Fair play with the over head squat there Jeff.. God I hate Over head Squats!!!!!
Sore today, but you gotta love a workout that takes all your energy and oxygen and leaves you on the floor in a heap. Vote for Fran in Feb.
Tom im sure you will back me on this.
Some savage times there yesterday lads whats the gym record? Any videos of yesterday Colm?
No videos Paddy, a lot of unhappy post workout pictures though!
I guess Special K has the gym record. I know Pat could do a faster time if his hands were repaired and Tony already wants to do this again.
Could Thrusters come up in Feb? Who knows?
I’m gonna do it again in 5 weeks. Had it done in 14 which is appalling, I wonder could I half that in 5 weeks?
Just looking at that picture gives me the shivers but I’ll keep working away on them.
I’d like to try Fran before Xmas if possible. I was too wrecked from the weekend to even think about trying it last night.
I’d say it’s well possible Tom, you’re fairly deconditioned to Metcons so if you hit the gasser ones and a good bunch of front squats you should be able for it.
How’s everyone’s legs/souls after Fran last night?
Anyone wanting to hit Fran before Christmas is more than welcome to in my book, crazy fools!
I might give it a bash at some stage either next week or first week in Jan. My back is sore from Saturday so I’m not sure if I’ll be up today either.
Wouldnt you know it, my hand is a lot better this morning. Could it be down to Fran having a magical healing effect? Not feeling too bad today after it, the legs are grand but I do have a sore chin after hitting myself on a thruster. I don’t think Fran hit me till around 10 mins after I finished. You know when you get that weakass feeling, a fog starts decending on the brain and the tunnel vision hit you. Reminded me of my first few workouts up in Crossfit Ireland actually. Good times.
Looking forward to tonights Olympic lifting. Eamonn stop being such a wimp, huge Eamonn would be up Olympic lifting, sore back or no sore back.
What goes first the c&j or the snatch?
Snatch first.
Gonna try Olympic Total tonight, Might do Fran wed!

FYI, I got the 30th off so wont be around that day.
I see your Christmas House Will, and raise you an even more awesome Christmas house!!

That one seems to be more geared towards terrifying the neighbourhood drug users than celebrating christmas Pix.
But isn’t that what Christmas is really about, scaring drug users!
