Fran Off at CrossFit Manchester

[Scrotemeister]

Awesome work!!! Fran is a beast.

[CxOxLxE]

no its 95lbs for men

[CrossFitClitheroe]

That was sick! Great effort by both athletes - Fran's a killer!

[Y0g11]

Yeah, the bar weights 20kg, and they have one 10kg plate on each side. So that makes 40kg which is about 88lbs.

[Bjkeirl]

Does 40kg mean including the bar??

[alxmnydg12]

RX is 43 kilos....

there doin 87 pounds

[tubemech]

Every video I have seen of CrossFit seems to have at least two or three incedents tha look really unsafe - many the exercises seem to be performed far to quick with bad form, for example the person on the left at 51 secs - the wholeracknearly feel and the guy in grey nearly lost a foot.......it doesn't look like its run by very responsible people to be honest.

[BnkrMnky]

@tubemech Normally I would argue with a comment like this but I agree with you in this case. I don't care how fast your going if your form sucks you going to hurt yourself. At.51 is the reason why you need to man up and clean it, no racks. And that same guy starts pushing off his toes = back injury.

[boochie71]

great way of training pity its £65 a month to train pure robbery

[jacks0003]

where do you get those big ass medicine balls in th uk?

[grambo22]

Really nice work in this one, Mark was obviously going full bore as you can tell by how he drops off the bar at the end. He must be well under 3min by now, he would've been if he had his kipping a bit smoother on the first set, really fast pull-ups.

[jpw56]

Ta for the explanation grambo

[jpw56]

I understand that crossfit is primarily about intensity rather than duration but would this be the whole workout ?

[grambo22]

This is one of the shorter workouts, you go full bore at maximum capacity until it is done, world class people can do it in 2 to 2.5 minutes, there is a long recovery period afterwards, it's extremely challenging. Other workouts range from 10-30minutes, some longer (e.g. run 10k, run 15k).

[2clickandboom]

Wow i didnt know there was a Crossfit gym in Manchester? I should go

[fnd3]

Strong work!

Greetings from across the pond from CrossFit Gulf Coast!

[meanmike55]

40kg? why such light weight?

[KickboxGuy101]

more reps

[BlueDemon77]

Cos you aint gonna do 80 kg thrusters for this workout called Fran - It;s based on time not strength,

[ThizelleWashignton]

Try it with this amount of weight and say that, please.

[BreaksWax]

how much weight is the guy in the red shirt lifting? 135? I can't tell because bumper weights can be lighter....thanks

[checkshot1234]

Both of them are lifting 40kg

[BreaksWax]

thanks for the info checkshot. Cool video

[thorpe001]

Incredibly impressive! What amazed me the most was the discipline to keep strict form. For me, that's the first to go. Outstanding work gents.

[Spartan488to300]

NICE ONE KAM! :-) VERY IMPRESSIVE. AVI

[SoiledPillow]

Ohh!! Well then I was impressed :)

[TheShatterFreak]

Soiled Pillow, the chins are kipping chins, designed to call in full body movement and explosive power. They are not deadhang, bodybuilding chins.

[SoiledPillow]

Worst. Chinups. Ever. Otherwise great job.

[drshredz]

Thats how CrossFit does their chinups. They are kipping chins.

[GuiltyCol]

I was there, it was very impressive.

[BXSDF]
