Clean 3 x 3 @ 80%
This is from the floor to a full squat. If you are still trying to learn the movement and/or make better the technique, use as many sets as needed to do so.

"Heavy Fran"
15-12-9 reps of:
135/93 pound Thruster
45/25 pound Weighted Pull-ups
Post clean weight and met-con to comments.
Cleans: 164.
DNF, 25# for pullups (4 pullups to go at the 12 min mark).
Impressive effort by the 6am crew, especially those who went rx'ed!
Cleans: 87, 10:52 Heavy Fran- I used 77# and a purple band.
Smaller class today, maybe the rain made people want to sleep in! Still a great class!
Heavy Fran= 11:36
good thing i had the whole wkend to rest, 2day was tuf!...cleans felt good, experimented with wider grip and stance for faster catch...thrusters felt good, pullups were by far the hardest, need to go completely unbroken in thrusters next time, last tim i tried this about a yr ago i think it took me over 20:00 so i'm happy with the improvement...
nice work 6amers!!!

Heavy Fran as Rx'd felt baaaaaad.
Got 5 Pullups into 2nd round.
A coach in high school told me that it takes 6 weeks to get into shape and 1 week to get out of shape. That was my 5th workout in 2 weeks.
I'm out of shape.
137# cleans, 3x3, no problems here.
DNF heavy fran, all sorts of problems here. I wore a weighted vest (i'm guessing 25#, give or take) for the pullups, and those actually felt pretty good. The thrusters were a different story altogether. I never really felt quite "right" today and I was really struggling with the thrusters, even at 98#. My shoulder hurt, my legs felt weak, everything was just off. I knew it was going to be a bad day when, during warm ups, I couldn't even do single unders. Seriously, I could not string together any consecutive single unders to save my life, not even 2! What the hell?!?
DNF on the metcon. First, tried as RX'd on thrusters. Got all of 5 done and had to drop to 110. Couldn't get a sinlge pullup with 45 or 25# dumbells, so tried working form on regular kipping pullups. The down motion still needs work. Got 3 thrusters into the last set. Sh!tty! But had to work off dinner from last night. Be ready to kill it tomorrow!
Heavy Fran - DNF with 2 pullups left. Thrusters were SLOW. Just didn't have any power on them. Pullups were tough, and I could have rested less, but having to hold the dumbbell kept me from having to pee, so that's a plus. My thighs, however, were brutalized and they look... not good.
Heavy Fran did not!! DNF only used 77 for thrusters and 15 for pull-up. Had 6 pull-ups left. I used the vest for the last 6 and it was easier than holding the weight between your legs. The vest was 25 but it just seemed easier to move with it.
