Differentials in Range of Motion
Why" For Time" is relative to the individual.


Power movements of individuals are fixed and different due to the individual’s range of joint motion and Biomechanical structure. To compare from individual to individual has no value in a training format, rather "For Time" is a reference point for determining increased efficiency for that individual in reference to previous attempts.
Velocity is determined by the time taken to complete the movement through that individuals range of motion.
Training using methods that focus on decreasing the time in which the movement is produced by increasing the efficiency and or acceleration of the movement, increases power generation.
Therefore Timing a WorkOut produces a reference point from which to determine increases in power output when compared to future attempts.
