Carry On Heavy - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 16

1: 30 meter Double KB Front rack walk – Intermediate: @2x16/24 | RX: @2x20/28
2: 10–12 D-ball squats – Intermediate: @35/50 | RX: @50/70 kg
3: Max meter Heavy sled push
4: Rest

Use a heavy weight for Sled push.

Workout Overview

“Carry On Heavy” is a 4-station EMOM that emphasizes strength, control, and grit. Over 16 minutes, athletes will cycle through a double kettlebell front rack walk, D-ball squats, and a max-distance sled push. With one minute of rest built in, this format challenges full-body stability, posterior chain endurance, and force production under load. The name of the game is composure and effort — under serious weight.

Execution and Focus

Start your rack walks with tight posture — elbows up, core engaged, and steps steady. Don’t rush the walk. For D-ball squats, keep your chest upright and the D-ball hugged tightly against your body. Aim for clean squat depth and consistent tempo. The sled push is your effort round. Go heavy and keep moving with short, powerful strides. Use the rest minute to fully reset and recover your breathing for the next cycle.

Strategy and Finish

This workout is not about speed — it’s about maintaining output with high loads. Go unbroken on the carries and squats if possible, but focus on positioning. During the sled push, start strong and push steadily the full minute. Don’t sprint out and die — it’s about sustained torque. Measure distance if possible to track performance. The real goal? Move well under pressure and keep your rounds consistent from 1 to 4.

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?

  • d-ball squat

    D-ball squats are a loaded squat variation performed while holding a heavy medicine ball in a bear hug or front carry position. A common feature in D-ball squat workouts, this movement demands core stability, posture control, and leg strength under awkward loading.

    In this workout, D-ball squats engage the glutes, quads, and hamstrings while heavily taxing the core and upper back. The non-traditional load encourages better bracing and reinforces strong squat mechanics, making it a great choice for functional strength training.
