ME - Thursday, August 15th, 2024

ME

ME = Max Effort.
What we mean when we ask for ME ( Max Effort ) in a workout, is that we’re not putting a set number on it. So for some of you, your ME might be 7 reps in that minute, and some of you, your ME might be 15 reps. A workout with ME allows everyone to get exactly what they need on that day, in that timeframe.

ME also knowing that you need to give it your ME for multiple rounds. That might mean that if we asked you to give us a ME one time you could do 20+ reps, but you wouldn’t be able to do anymore, then for a workout with ME multiple times, that means you might need to back off to between 12 - 15 in order to do that multiple times.

Today’s workout is calling for ME followed up by a minute rest, so you can in theory push a little bit more than you might be able to if the next minute was followed by another movement.

Lastly with ME, if your movement is breaking down, stop, rest, reset and go again. ME in a minute is not unbroken in a minute. If your chin’s not going over the bar, rest. If your form on deadlift is breaking down, rest. If your depth is lacking on the wall ball, or you’re missing the target, rest. Reps only count when you’re achieving the movement standards. No one cares if you can do 30 reps in a minute if you're not squatting below parallel. So stop, rest, reset and go again.

Lots to think about.
This is the perfect example of Mechanics - Consistency - Intensity.
