“Fran”

3 May

Wednesday, we started with skill work on pullups, muscle ups, and rope climbs. Several people got their first successful rope climbs, one got a first pullup, and a few did many more pullups than they had prior! We wrapped up with the classic benchmark workout- “Fran”.

We did a variety of work tonight: here are a few highlights-

Wyeth works his way around the horse in a drill requiring core strength, coordination, and balance.
