Laruen Plumey CrossFit Games competitor midway through the snatch/wallball event. At 29 years old, 5’8, 131# Lauren can deadlift 315#, has a 4:12 Fran time, 205# back squat, 95# press, 321 reps on Fight Gone Bad, and 37 pullups in a row. Holy shit. I cant wait for some of my girls at Orange Coast CrossFit to start getting weights/times like these. Truly redefining beauty.
Its been nearly two months since we last did Fran. Now its time to meet her again. The record boards are going to be rewritten today boys and girls.

Tombstone just put up the #2 time in the gym at 3:38. Who else is going to PR today?
Mike B. just posted a 3:51. Two months ago it was 5:15. Huge improvement!
I’m going to PR today for sure considering my first Fran was like 11 Min. Doesn’t mean I’ll hit board for this one, but sub 6 is on.
Freakin’ awesome Tombstone…you set the bar high for the rest of us mere mortals! Awesome Mike!
I’ve been Fueling up all day for a PR performance tonight at 6.30!
Tonight was like Christmas.
I don’t know if Zac recalls when I was almost passing out after doing my 1st Fran during my 2nd week in the gym, but I can quote him as saying “we want to push you hard but we don’t want you to die or go the hospital so take as long as you need.” With jumping pullups and a 2 or 3 minute “don’t die” break I had obtained an initial PR of 16 minutes at the time, so it wasn’t too rough too shave off 7 minutes and I was happy not to be the goon doing jumping pullups this time.
