Barbell Burndown - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 20

1: 6 Snatch + 6 Overhead squats Intermediate: @30/45 RX: @35/50
2: 12 Burpee over bar
3: 12 Back rack reverse lunges
4: 12/15 cal Ski erg
5: Rest

Workout Overview

This 20-minute EMOM includes four demanding stations and a well-earned rest minute. The pairing of snatches and overhead squats immediately taxes shoulder and core stability, while the burpees and ski erg ramp up your heart rate. Reverse lunges add leg fatigue under load, completing this full-spectrum test of capacity and control.

Execution and Focus

On minute 1, combine 6 power or squat snatches with 6 overhead squats—be efficient with bar cycling and position. Minute 2 is pure hustle: burpee over bar. Move consistently and use your breath to stay in control. In minute 3, hit 12 back rack reverse lunges—tight core, stable step. Ski hard in minute 4 to accumulate calories quickly, but avoid redlining. Use minute 5 to fully recover before starting again.

Strategy and Finish

Aim to finish each station within 45–50 seconds, leaving time for setup and transition. Break the barbell complex 4-2 if needed. Keep burpees smooth and avoid early blow-up. Unbroken lunges are ideal; break only if absolutely necessary. Ski with a pace that leaves fuel in the tank. Use round 3 or 4 to push the pace and finish strong. This EMOM is a grind—balance intensity with precision.

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?

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.

  • Burpee over bar

    The burpee over bar adds an explosive jump over your barbell after each burpee, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a common feature in burpee over bar workouts, combining cardio, agility, and full-body conditioning in one simple movement.

    In this workout, burpees over the bar challenge your endurance, mental toughness, and pacing — especially under fatigue. Whether you’re jumping laterally or forward-facing, the burpee over bar is guaranteed to elevate your heart rate and test your focus.

  • overhead squat

    The overhead squat is a high-skill movement that develops full-body strength, mobility, balance, and core control. A key lift in many overhead squat workouts, it involves holding a barbell locked overhead while performing a deep squat — challenging both stability and flexibility.

    In this workout, overhead squats train shoulder stability, midline engagement, and leg strength, making them a valuable tool for improving movement quality and preparing for Olympic lifts like the snatch.
