Count (ct)
A count (ct) is a movement pattern. Typically, one rep equals one count, but in exercises that are unilateral one will see 2 ct as one rep, or in exercises that can be executed quickly one will see 4 ct as one rep.
Examples
2 ct exercises
- Lunges
- Shoulder taps
- Twists
- Toe touches
4 ct exercises
- Bear crawl
- Crab walks
- Flutter kicks
- Jumping jacks
- Mountain climbers
8 ct exercises
- 8 count bodybuilders
Single Count
All exercises are assumed to be single count unless specifically stated otherwise.
Example: Single Count
- 2 ct lunges means that lunge with the first leg is the first count, then lunge with the second leg is the second count and thereby one rep.
- Single count lunges means that lunge with first leg is one rep, then lunge with the second leg is two reps, and so on.
Hint: Single Count
When instructed to do an exercise, never verbally question the count per reps, unless you and potentially your team are willing to do more reps.
