workout description

“EMOM x 3 – Heavy Pull, Explosive Legs, and a Row to the Finish”

This workout features three escalating EMOM intervals, each with a different focus. It starts with power and control in heavy deadlifts, moves into explosive plyometrics and step overs, and finishes with a monostructural engine test on the rower. Each block includes built-in rest for intensity resets, and each minute has a clear pacing target.

What is an "EMOM" workout?

An EMOM workout stands for "Every Minute on the Minute" — a time-based training format where you perform a specific number of reps or a short workout at the start of every minute, then rest for the remainder of that minute.

In a typical EMOM CrossFit workout, you'll rotate through one or more movements (like squats, push-ups, or barbell lifts) for a set number of minutes. Whether it’s 10, 20, or 30 minutes long, an EMOM builds consistency, pacing, and work capacity.

Why Choose an EMOM CrossFit Workout?

  • Trains intensity with structure — no wasted time

  • Builds work/rest awareness and sustainable pacing

  • Easy to scale for beginners or advanced athletes

  • Perfect for developing movement quality under fatigue

EMOM workouts are ideal for strength training, conditioning, or skill development, and they work in both solo and group settings. Whether you're doing a bodyweight circuit or barbell cycling, an EMOM workout keeps you moving with purpose.

What kind of exercises are in this workout?

  • dumbbell step over

    Dumbbell step-overs are a unilateral strength and conditioning movement where the athlete steps over a box or bench while carrying dumbbells. Featured in dumbbell step over workouts, this movement improves lower-body power, balance, and coordination under load.

    In this workout, dumbbell step-overs target the glutes, quads, and core while testing grip strength and stability. The dynamic, elevated step forces athletes to control both ascent and descent, making it a functional and challenging addition to strength circuits or conditioning pieces.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • Deadlift

    The deadlift is one of the most effective strength movements in any fitness program. It targets the posterior chain — including your glutes, hamstrings, back, and core — making it a cornerstone of any deadlift workout.

    In this workout, deadlifts develop raw strength, posture, and pulling power. Whether you're lifting light for speed or going heavy for strength, the deadlift builds a solid foundation for both performance and injury prevention.

  • bar facing burpee

    The bar-facing burpee is a high-intensity movement that combines a chest-to-floor burpee with a two-foot jump over a barbell. It's a CrossFit staple used in many bar facing burpee workouts to build explosive power, agility, and full-body conditioning.

    In this workout, bar-facing burpees spike your heart rate, test your coordination, and demand mental grit — especially when paired with heavy lifting or fast-paced intervals. Simple, brutal, and effective.

  • burpee box jump

    The burpee box jump combines two high-intensity movements — a full burpee and a jump onto a box — making it a full-body challenge that builds power, coordination, and endurance. Common in many high-volume burpee box jump workouts, it’s a surefire way to test both your engine and mental grit.

    In this workout, burpee box jumps elevate your heart rate, explosiveness, and agility, all while demanding sharp focus and strong pacing. Whether done for rounds, reps, or time, this movement is a true conditioning classic.
