A few reasons to be honest One of them is that as you get to the last set you still have a bit of work to do... So you can and indeed need to get stuck in. The first set is half of the workload as you are fresh so have the energy so can also reach fatigue after set one. | ||

So you can and indeed need to get stuck in. The first set is half of the workload as you are fresh so have the energy so can also reach fatigue after set one. Have you done it? I'm willing to bet you'd get through faster doing 30-20-10. Faster time for the same total workload = more "power" = higher average intensity = moar betterz, in Crossfitland. Hitting fatigue half-way through is something you would want to avoid, no? Ideally, you should keep moving through all the reps at a steady pace/intensity level. Decreasing the reps as you move forward allows you to maintain that pace even though you're building up fatigue. Having to use the 10's as a sort of rest period because you went too fast on the 30's and/or need to save energy before taking on the 20's, defeats the purpose somewhat. This is all from the perspective of the traditional CF metcon workout; your goals may be different. | ||

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | My reference was a purely phychological one...even with words like energy and fatigue. The effort should never vary Well mine doesn't any. I like to apply consistent efforts I use fluid terms but pacing oneself isn't any fun... I doubt I would enjoy holding back at any point either Also yes I very much understand that the same work done quicker is better... Lol  Now... From what you say I very much dare say you are right... Or at least not wrong However 30, 20 and 10 sounds very boring and yeah doing the first set and saying to oneself "yeah that's half the reps done already!" And then on the last set thinking "come on it's the last set get stuck in" is how I found I got through this Funnily enough when I did it the way you suggested I actually did it noticibly slower too  Hey... I'm a bit interested in your scientific knowledge on this stuff though... Definitely For me though it's just a great way to keep active and nothing more "serious" whereas you are a deadlifting rowing beast who is very fit... Oh yeah I'm trying to do crossfit to lose weight too so sometimes when a wod takes longer for me to do than others I'm happy knowing a burned more calories than them | ||

Are horror films healthy...? Member 5449, 2203 posts | Oh and lol at steady pace/intensity There are pull ups in there. There are bloody big breaks in that workout for me! Did another today 10 min amrap OHS @ 60kg Burpee over bar with 180 degree turn Got up to 8 rounds and three reps Another good one for weightlifters who want to get fit and have fun Again I don't know much about the science behind it I just though 60kg would be an okay weight ... It took me 11 minutes | ||

Good metcons design is more of an art, and has been hotly debated across the Internet, but the basic principle of not gassing out/having to slow down midway through usually applies. And all the science in the world can't change what gets you motivated to get through a workout. Re: taking breaks for the pull-ups. This is where the idea of "steady effort" changes depending on your strengths and weaknesses. I would have to break up 30 pullups as well, especially if there are 10 and 20 more coming up. But to keep it steady and the intensity as high as possible, it's better to do 5, rest 5 seconds, do 5 more, rest 5 more seconds, etc., rather than do 7, fail the 8th rep, rest 20s, do 5, fail the 6th rep, rest 20s... Or just scale down the movement to something you can do without taking huge breaks. Unless you would rather do movement X on principle, even if that means you take ages to finish the workout.
