Alternating Pressure - Crossfit Workout

E2MOM 16

Alternate between A and B every 2 minutes

A:
6 Burpees
18 Wall Balls @14/20 lbs
12 Double KB Deadlifts – Intermediate: @2x16/24 | RX: @2x20/28

B:
6 Double KB Cleans
16 Double KB Reverse Lunges (farmer hold)
16 V-ups

Workout Overview

“Alternating Pressure” is a 16-minute E2MOM (every 2 minutes on the minute) that rotates between two unique conditioning sets. In Block A, you’ll hit wall balls, burpees, and double kettlebell deadlifts—high heart rate, full-body grunt work. Block B introduces kettlebell cleans, reverse lunges, and V-ups—targeting coordination, balance, and core stability. The alternation creates rhythm while keeping fatigue from settling in too deeply on any single muscle group.

Execution and Focus

Block A begins with classic power and pace. The wall balls should be smooth and rhythmic—stay tall and breathe at the top. Burpees are fast and clean; don’t drag. The KB deadlifts should be tight, controlled, and performed with a neutral spine and strong hinge. Block B changes gears: clean the bells efficiently, then go directly into the farmer-hold reverse lunges—no collapsing at the bottom. The V-ups are the finisher—engage the core and move with control.

Strategy and Finish

Each block should take 60–75 seconds, leaving room to reset. Stay consistent across all 4 cycles of each block. Don’t blow out round 1—aim to maintain steady reps and movement quality. Use the last 30 seconds to breathe and prepare for the switch. This is about controlled intensity and moving like a machine under load.

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?

  • double kettlebell reverse lunge

    Double kettlebell reverse lunges are a unilateral lower-body movement where two kettlebells are held (at the sides, in front rack, or overhead) while stepping backward into a lunge. In double kettlebell reverse lunge workouts, this variation builds strength, stability, and control through a full range of motion.

    In this workout, double kettlebell reverse lunges target the glutes, quads, hamstrings, and core while reducing knee strain compared to forward lunges. The independent loading challenges posture, balance, and bracing—making this a smart and scalable option for functional strength and symmetry.

  • double kettlebell deadlift

    Double kettlebell deadlifts are a foundational hinge movement performed with two kettlebells, emphasizing symmetrical pulling strength and posterior chain engagement. In double kettlebell deadlift workouts, this variation builds strength while reinforcing proper hip mechanics.

    In this workout, double kettlebell deadlifts target the glutes, hamstrings, lats, and core. The independent load demands more balance and stability than a barbell, making it excellent for developing real-world strength and functional control.

  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • V-up

    The V-up is a bodyweight core exercise that targets your abdominals, hip flexors, and overall midline control. It’s often used in V-up workouts to build core endurance, especially in high-rep or gymnastic-style training.

    In this workout, V-ups demand coordination, flexibility, and explosive core engagement. They’re a great alternative to sit-ups when you want more intensity and a greater range of motion — making them perfect for CrossFit and functional fitness routines.

  • double kettlebell clean

    The double kettlebell clean is a powerful hinge-based lift that brings two kettlebells from the ground or swing into the front rack position. Central to many double kettlebell clean workouts, this movement requires coordination, grip strength, and explosive hip drive.

    In this workout, double kettlebell cleans develop posterior chain power, core engagement, and control in the front rack. The independent loading challenges symmetry and balance while reinforcing proper clean technique. It’s a go-to movement for building strength, conditioning, and athletic performance with kettlebells.
