  1. Strength:
    Last set at 215#

    Fran:
    8:23 rx

    1st time doing Fran RX… Was hoping she would be gentle…not so much

    1. Thank you Jeff!!! Amazing what working out with an awesome group of people can do for your performance 🙂

  2. Strength: Last set of 5 at 175#

    FRAN – 5:23 RX – 2 hrs later and still having trouble clearing my throat. Oh and subway stairs not my friend today.

    Thanks for programming coach!!

          1. I vote Alexis as EVF Athlete of the Month. I have no idea who she is but she crushes sh*t.

  3. Frantastic Monday. 7:26 @ 75#. 10lbs heavier & finished in about the same time as 5 months ago. I was happy.

  4. strength last set @ 100#

    9:51 @ 65# with ring rows. went up 10# in weight from march.

    similar to brett, my throat/esophagus is weird. I spit up my water 2x on the way home. fun stuff

  5. Great work 5:30; Last set 215; 6:52 on Fran; 1st time RX – although i used box in back, and was clearly too high –not sure if it helped or hurt. love the benchmarks, thanks coach!

  6. Strength: Only got through 4 sets but finished at 195#. Sacrificed set 5 so that I could catch up with my buds John and Justin.

    Fran: 8:13 RX.

    Fran was the first workout I did during Onramp at Blackbox in March 2012. Just the bar (45#) and Green Band. Finished in 5:35 and thought I was a stud. Brett beat that RX.

  7. I am always causing programming problems on Mon. am – subbed BSs w/ 3 position power cleans – last set @ 185#

    “Fran’s Sister” in 5:47…115# is a game changer

  8. Strength: last set at #110

    Fran: 6.39 Rx weight/banded pull-ups for first half and then had to do ring rows for last set of 9 and 3 of the 15 cos grip/forearm went nutty.

    Buuut… That’s coming from my first Fran being with just the bar (#35) and two bands last March. #progress

    Alexis, you’re a beast darlin! Way to go!

  9. Baby Annie as a warm up makes me oh so so happy! 135 for backsquats and Fran in 9:37 at 65lbs and using the rings. Fran and 12:30 #killedit!
