Frantic is a spin-off of CrossFit's Fran, which many of us have likely done. Team Spearhead utilized a common version called 'Frantic' in workouts during PATHFINDER's early days, and it's such a great, nasty one, it deserves a highlight today in the Int/Adv workout.
It begins with a 4 mile ruck, and then a 21-15-9 reps sequence. Do 21 of each exercise before moving on to 15 reps of each exercise, etc. Your ruck is optional based on your current core strength. If you find your lower back arching, hips drooping or your core is just not strong enough yet, do not attempt these exercises with a ruck.
