Tempo DB Split Bulgarian Lunges... Build up that Leg Strength...
*Vagabond Schedule for Sunday, January 22nd: 10:00 am Class Time*
*Congrats to Coach John Dunlap for his Second Place Finish in the Northeast Masters Championship. John came in 1st place in three events, 2nd place in one event, and loss narrowly in the tiebreaker workout. However, for the first four workouts, John had the most points out of any competitor. Great Job John, and thank you for representing Vagabond so very well!*

I. Why do we have RX Tempos in our Workouts?:
You might be asking yourself why we have these tempo workouts that look like Back Squat, 30×0… The simple answer is when we perform tempo for movements, we are concentrating on form, and making sure things are done properly. It also helps with overloading certain muscle groups that we are intending to hit during the workout. Here is a quick excerpt from Optimum Performance Training on the benefits of Tempo Training and why we do them…
Why do we Rx tempos?
We do it dependent on what the Coach wants the training response to be from the workout. It is done to control intensity, overload certain areas of a movement/body part, improve technique on movements, ease the load on the joints, variability, transfer to other parts of CrossFit (i.e. back squat – 1,1,1,1,1 is MUCH different than high bar back squat @ 40X1 – 2-3 reps x 5 sets…and side note, endurance on the squat at that tempo is one thing that WILL take the CF’er to another level as it carries over to so many things).
