Barbell Breaker - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 12

Minute 1: Cal Assault Bike - Intermediate: 10/14 RX: 13/18

Minute 2: 3–8 Bar Muscle Ups

Minute 3: Rest

Workout Overview

“Barbell Breaker” brings a sharp and effective EMOM format that pairs two powerful elements: monostructural grit and high-skill gymnastics. This 12-minute triplet features alternating minutes of calorie sprints on the assault bike, bar muscle-up reps, and structured rest. Each round challenges your cardiovascular system and upper body explosiveness, all while forcing focus and recovery management. The inclusion of dedicated rest keeps intensity high and form honest.

Execution and Focus

Start with the bike. Whether you're targeting 10/14 or pushing toward 13/18 calories, keep cadence consistent and drive through each pull to maximize output without gassing out. Minute two switches gears to 3–8 bar muscle ups—select a volume that tests you but allows for clean execution each time. Whether you're linking reps or grinding through singles, emphasize controlled transitions and a strong kip. Minute three is your full rest—use it to regulate breathing, shake out fatigue, and refocus. Don’t coast—pre...

Strategy and Finish

Choose repeatable targets for each movement and stick to them. Don’t redline the bike early; let consistency carry you across all four rounds. For bar muscle ups, stay tight and technical—efficiency is king. With built-in recovery, you’re expected to go hard every working minute. This assault bike workout, bar muscle up workout, and EMOM workout packs intensity into a compact, precise format. Keep the engine on, keep the form sharp, and let the structure carry your effort.

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?

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.
