NIKE Men's Metcon 3 Trainers

Product Information

Time efficiency. Done in 20 minutes or less, metcon workouts are meant to be hard, pushing your body to the max. The shoe's platform was significantly widened offering extra stability and making us feel much more grounded and connected. Another timing technique is an EMOM (every minute on the minute), performing a set number of reps within the minute before moving to the next — this 15-minute workout is a great example. You could also work for a set number of rounds or hit a set number of reps or calories in the fastest time possible. Whichever you choose, work at a consistent pace, and don’t burn out too early. A MetCon workout to try

Short for metabolic conditioning, metcon describes a type of workout that most commonly combines strength and cardio conditioning, as well as both anaerobic and aerobic exercises. Enhanced Grip: directional traction on the outsole provides allows grip while climbing a rope but speed when sliding down. Most training shoes come on the firm and even harsh side for enhanced stability. But the Free Metcon 3 still manages to remain comfortable. It feels quite plush inside. Paired with flexibility, this is what makes the Free Metcon 3 suitable for coaching or simply walking around. During a metcon workout, you moderately to intensely exert yourself for a prolonged amount of time. Basically, these types of workouts help increase and optimize your body’s energy output.Difficulty. Metcons are great, but they’re not beginner-friendly. You’ll need a proper grasp on strength training’s basic movements — squats, deadlifts, rows, pushups — and some level of conditioning before you can attempt a metcon safely. There is a ton of flexibility in the forefoot which makes doing lunges, planks, and mountain climbers feel like you are barefoot! Feels more stable than it looks! If you’re looking to improve your stability during wall balls, thrusters, and squats, then the low, flat and wide heel with removable Hyperlift insert will help.

According to Nike, the Metcon 5 is “the most tuned Metcon yet”. Combining advanced stability for heavy lifting and extra traction for speed and durability. The Hyperlift insert is also compatible with prior Metcon versions. In an AMRAP workout, you’ll complete as many reps or rounds of an exercise as possible within a given time frame. First, the phosphagen pathway provides energy immediately during the first few reps or seconds of a workout or for short bouts of work — think sprints or 3 heavy squat reps.How, you might ask? These workouts recruit all three of your body’s energy pathways — phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative — which all take turns generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel your muscles ( 2).

We noticed that the Free Metcon 3’s flared heel with a lip doesn’t fit all the way into the rowing machine boot! It also gets in the way when doing handstand pushups. A fairly light training shoe Also, the shoe's midfoot has a raised arch that doesn't touch the ground which undermines stability even further. In an EMOM workout, you’ll complete a set number of reps at the start of every minute, and the remaining time will count as rest.We must let you know that the foot does not sit on top of that big chunk of the midsole but is rather nestled inside it. The foam creates tall sidewalls for side-to-side stability. Progress. If you feel like you’ve reached a plateau with your performance, try a metcon workout — you’ll challenge your body in a different way. At 10.5 oz (298g) for a men’s US size 10, the Nike Free Metcon 3 is the lightest in the Free x Metcon series, even though the bulkier design makes it seem heavier. But a metcon workout doesn’t require such high intensity to be considered metcon. In short, both HIIT and Tabata workouts are considered metcons, but not all metcons are considered HIIT or Tabata. It’s important to train all three of these systems so that your body becomes efficient at using energy during a variety of activities. Varying your training, such as by incorporating metcon workouts, can help with this by improving your overall fitness level. Summary
