Nice work Twyla!!! 🙂
I have a couple questions l, just starting the 1 week free trial and I’m confused about a couple things. First all of part a will be done with an empty barbell correct? Second in part A the last 10minutes what does the 3211 represent?
Good questions Joshua! You’ll notice that there aren’t any percentages in the first portion of Part A. That doesn’t necessarily mean use an empty barbell – it just means to work up to what is comfortable for you, for those movements.
The 3211 represents tempo training – you can read an in depth explanation of it here: https://www.crossfitinvictus.com/competitors/blog/what-does-30×0-mean-why-i-like-tempo-training/
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
Hey thank you very much!
