Marcus Filly explains more, “the four numbers in a tempo prescription refer to how fast or slow you move for each part of a movement, for example, a back squat at 32X1 would be: 3 seconds down (eccentric) 2 second isometric (hold tension) eXplode up as fast as you can!
1 second pause before the next rep For a pull-up or other movement that starts at the top, start at the 3rd number as you pull up.”

Editor-In-Chief at BOXROX. I come from a background of rugby and weightlifting. Growing up in the English Lake District, I spent a great deal of time swimming in its stunning lakes and rivers. In 2015 my brothers and I became the first people to swim the 145km length of the River Eden, from source to mouth, in 9 days. We also swam the Corryvreckan whirlpool, the third largest in the world, and Crossfit is a huge part of my training for these events.
