    Some folks have asked where to get the resistance bands from.  I got ours from Rogue Fitness:

    The #3 band is the blue one; #4 is the green.

    Good luck!

      The thruster weight was new for me. Wow! Also a kind of PR; 19 kipping pullups is the most I've ever done in a WOD.

      I had the newest clients just do Fran; that made more sense to me.

    2. OK. 65# to start, scaled back midway to 55#. Then, 10# db between the ankles for pullups to start, then scaled back midway to kips. Finished it though, with 12:17. A good practice for doing 65# thrusters, I'm not totally there yet, but it is my goal to be able to do Fran with the regulation weight. Tonight I literally jumped out of the car after driving back from downstate and started coaching. Then for the second session I jumped in with Debbie and did this workout...nice way to work out the kinks from the trip. "Welcome home, honey!" Charles chided when the going got tough! I didn't say what I was thinking...
