Lesson 8: The Language of CrossFit

WOD = Workout of the Day
MetCon = Metabolic Conditioning
AMRAP = As Many Reps As Possible
EMOM =Every Minute on the Minute
For Time : The WOD will use time as a metric for measurement
RX : This means you completed the workout as written with no modifications
Scaled: This means you completed the workout with modifications
Hero WODs : Named after military servicemen, police, or firefighters who have died in the line of duty, these difficult workouts are intermittently programmed in CrossFit to provide an extra challenge and reminder of their sacrifice.

How to use percentages: In the programming you will see something like "Back Squat - 5 Sets of 5 Reps @ 75%". This means you will complete 5 sets of 5 reps at 75% of your 1 Rep Max Back Squat. For Example if your 1 rep max is 100lbs you will multiply that by .75 and complete your 5 sets of 5 reps at 75lbs. Each exercise will be based off the 1 rep max of that specific exercise. 

Conclusion

We know this may look overwhelming at first but remember that this is a resource for you along your journey. You do not need to memorize all of these movements before starting but introducing you to the movements you will see in class/the programming will help aid you in the beginning process of your journey. We encourage you to use this guide to familiarize yourself with the language of crossfit and tool for your success. Of course we expect you to have questions along the way and are happy to answer any for you, even if they are in this guide. Were looking forward to getting to know you and watching you grow both physically and mentally!
