Jargon

CrossFit has a variety of protocol jargon and abbreviations that can be learned in order to make communication more efficient.
Named Work Outs

"I did Fran last night and the Thrusters in the 2nd Rd smoked me"
Named Work Outs are part of the jargon of CrossFit training.

CrossFit is a world wide community with many people linked through the WOD whether variations or HQs. Bench Mark WOs are given names so that just uttering that name will give people an understanding of whats involved and may even evoke feeling from previous WOs.

CrossFitters develop a love/hate relationship with some WOs.Women's names are used often for Bench mark WOs, probably for the same reason they are used to name hurricanes which gives you a hint to their intensity.
Male names are used as a mark of respect of fallen service men.

So get with the jargon and enjoy doing a Girl or trashing a Guy next time your in the gym.
