ok…still trying to wrap my head around the tempo and make sure I’ve got the right idea. So 1st number eccentric, 2nd # pause at midpoint, 3rd # concentric and 4th # pause at end.

So with shoulder press here is how I’m counting.
Start with Press then…
2seconds to bring bar down to chest
0second pause then
x=lift then
1second pause at top

so with this one slow down/explode up/pause, slow down/explode up/pause right???

A: 3 reps each 45/45/55/55/65/65/75/75
B: 8:10 rx. I wanted 7:00 but had to break up my push presses 🙁

Tempo = 1st number is the amount of time on the way down, 2nd number is the amount of time at the bottom, 3rd number is the amount of time on the way up, fourth number is the amount of time at the top. Check out this blog post:

Yay! So happy to have you as a part of our community. If you haven’t been training for a little while, stick with performance for a couple months so your strength and intensity can improve and we can keep you safe without causing any nagging injuries from too much volume too fast.

A. 45, 55, 65, 70, 85…
failed the last set at 85
B. 11:10 @ 85#… I don’t have the right plate amounts to do 75… so it was either 70 or jump to 85 and I decided to go big 🙂
First time to do all of my DU unbroken at this volume! woo!

Last two sets of the metcon really had my legs shaking. So it wasn’t the shoulders who slowed me down although they had a pretty tough time as well.

Patrick, more isn’t always better. Be careful when adding volume to your program. It’s a very common way to get injured.

Great work today on that metcon!
