Beginners: 3, 3, 3, 3; rest 2 min
Advanced: 3, 3, 2, 1; rest 2 min

Run 200 meter shuttle sprint

What exactly is a 2222 tempo for the squats? Is that 2 seconds down, 2 second pause in the hole, 2 seconds up and a 2 second pause at the top before doing another rep? I'm trying to follow this at Chris's place until I start in July.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly right for the tempo. Count aloud to make sure you take the time.
ReplyDeleteGood WOD this morning - thanks for coaching "the big group" Mieka!
Curt,
ReplyDeleteThat tempo is for beginners or people who like to suffer. If you have trouble on the concentric, maybe a knee caves or one hip comes up, this is a great tempo for you.
Sorry, I meant Kurt. We have a Curt and a Kurt at our gym.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteMy knees are pretty stable and I don't mind a little suffering. I'll try both and see how it feels. Kind of excited to try squats with a change in tempo than how I normally do them.
Congratulations to Chris Pepin on his extraordinary back squats today. Chris has CP so he is working extra hard under that barbell. Nice work Chris!
ReplyDeleteNice work on the tall cleans this morning everyone. They are coming along quite nicely ! -
ReplyDeleteCongrats Chris!

Wow. This was fun but hard! Tall cleans @95 and it's tough with just a shrug. 135-155-175 for the squats and those were tough - just enough time at the top to get one deep breath. I barely got the last one at 175. They honestly felt like one string of non-stop pain.
ReplyDeleteJust did 100-150-200m sprints with 15-10-5 DHPU in between sprints.
Nice Kurt.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Tall cleans for developing the hip speed.
