That board on the wall isn't trying to be cryptic. It's just shorthand. Once you can read it, you stop feeling like the new person — even if it's still your first month.
What you'll learn:
- The board sections: Strength, Conditioning (Metcon), Cooldown
- Reading time domains (15-min AMRAP, EMOM 12, For Time, etc.)
- Sets × reps notation
- Weights notation (lbs, % of 1RM, RPE)
- "RX" vs "Scaled" — what they actually mean
- Scoring: what to write on the board after class
Your move
Next class you attend, take a photo of the board and decode it yourself. Post it in the ATC private group.
