Not sure if I'm really labeling them right. You have the longest count on the negative part of the exercise, a pause, then a short count on the positive. And where those counts fall depend on the exercise. Like with the presses, I pressed them up in 1 count, paused for 2 counts and brought them down in 4 counts..

 

I'm sure I'm making it sound more confusing than what it is.. LoL!

The TruWhip is good! Tastes like whipped cream, but I think it's better.

 

And I sorta explained the "tempo" in yesterday's blog. Using the 4-1-2 as the example, with the exercise being squats it goes like this: Instead of going straight into a squat and bouncing back up, you would slowly go down for 4 counts, pause for 1 count and stand back up in 2 counts.

 

Looking at my numbers above, some look wrong...will have to fix that!

Two questions. :) 

 

How's the TruWhip? 

 

And what does the "tempo" stuff mean?  i.e. 4-1-2 tempo?
