So I redid Fran today. This is after 3 months of SS and a 5 month layoff from any CF style metcon whatsoever. Best effort previously was 5:36, while CFing pretty hard but with no strength focus. BW was 170 at the time. This time was 7:48. Let’s see how the numbers shape up…
Then:
BW – 170
Time – 5:36
Stats from Catalyst
Work Performed
51766.89 joules
5278.67 kg-m
38183.26 ft-lbs
Power Output
154.07 watts
0.21 horsepower
113.64 ft-lbs/sec
Now:
BW – 202
Time – 7:48 (pure hell, btw)
Stats from Catalyst
Work Performed
57502.55 joules
5863.54 kg-m
42413.88 ft-lbs
Power Output
122.87 watts
0.17 horsepower
90.62 ft-lbs/sec
As you can see, I only lost 30 watts (20%). It’s significant, but not worrisome. I’ll put it out there that I can get this back below 6 in one month of concerted effort. I mean it sucks like hell, but the fear of totally “getting out of shape” is somewhat overblown. Also keep in mind that this workout is fully half pull-up, which seriously punishes gaining 30 lbs, most of which is located in my legs.
Still the top time in my gym though…
