Hello everyone,

 

I was wondering about some of the terms that are used in the forums and the daily comments.

 

Dot com

Met con

AMRAP

Oly Club

 

Well my mind is going blank now, I am sure there is more I have seen and don't know.

Thanks,

 

Felipe

 

PS. Good thing I love math, otherwise no post for me Surprised

Felipe, let me take a stab at this. 

 

Dot Com: Refers to the main CrossFit website  http://www.crossfit.com.  They put their own workout of the day (WOD) up and when CrossFit Regina uses one of those workouts as our own workout of the day, it's referred to as a Dot Com

 

Met con:  Metabolic Conditioning.  This refers to a type of workout that is designed to get your heart pumping, as opposed to doing 3-2-1-1-1 of Deadlifts for maximum weight.

 

AMRAP: "As many rounds as possible" -  This type of WOD has a set time, say 20 minutes and you have to complete as many rounds of the prescribed exercise as you can within that time. 

eg. "Cindy is AMRAP in 20 minutes of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups and 15 air squats." 

 

Oly Club – Olympic Lifting Club hosted by CrossFit Regina for members.  Is it still on Monday nights?  I don't know.  I haven't been (even though I desperately need help with my sh!tty clean form)

 

If you have any other questions about CrossFit terminology (like any good cult, we have our own language), check out http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/faq.html in general and http://www.crossfit.com/cf-inf…..#General10 specifically

Hope that helps.

Good questions, Felipe! Good answers, Tyler!

Strength Club has just started up again on Monday nights, while Oly Club is available Wednesday or Thursday nights.

Well said, Tyler. Has anyone told you that you have a talent for writing? You could write professionally, or a blog at the very least!
