Increased Strength = Win-Win
Categories: Workout of the Day

Since CrossFitters can’t help but measure their worth in Fran times and FGB scores, let me take a moment to bring up a worthy point. Fran, Rx’d, is 95lbs for men, and 65lbs for women (you already know how I feel about Rx’d weights). If you are a male who’s front squat PR is 190#, then you’d be performing Fran at 50% of your 1RM. Still with me? Now, if you get strong and improve your lift to 240#, Fran would be 40%, meaning you’d be using 10% less energy, and thus taxing your body a lot less metabolically.
If you participate in sports (i.e. skiing or running), increased strength means better performance and, more importantly, less injuries!
Bottom line: getting stronger = win-win
