Cycle and Smash - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 25

Minute 1: 18 Heavy Wall Balls @20/30 lbs

Minute 2: 12–16 DB Squat Snatch - Intermediate: @15/22.5 kg RX: @17.5/25 kg

Minute 3: 10–12 DB Facing Burpees

Minute 4: 10–18 Cal Assault Bike

Minute 5: Rest

Workout Overview

This 25-minute EMOM workout is a full-body power test wrapped in sustained effort and volume management. With four consecutive working minutes—each hitting different modalities—and a critical rest window every fifth, this structure will test your strength, coordination, and pacing. Each movement brings a heavy punch, especially the squat snatches and the wall balls. Managing your output from minute one is key to surviving all five rounds.

Execution and Focus

Start strong with the 18 heavy wall balls, focusing on explosive hip drive and consistent depth. The dumbbell squat snatches demand both stability and speed—alternate arms if needed and keep your form crisp. Burpees facing the dumbbell are a grind; keep your pace steady and minimize time on the floor. The assault bike rounds out the cycle, demanding lungs and legs. Push here, but don’t blow up early. Rest in minute five is your lifeline—use it wisely to shake out fatigue and reset for the next round.

Strategy and Finish

Pick rep targets that you can hit consistently across all five rounds without falling off. Keep your transitions tight and don’t waste seconds between movements. Focus on efficient movement patterns and stay disciplined with your rest minute. This wall ball workout, dumbbell snatch workout, Burpee workout, assault bike workout, and EMOM workout is all about staying in the zone, staying moving, and staying powerful from start to finish.

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 snatch

    The dumbbell snatch is a powerful, full-body movement that builds explosiveness, coordination, and core strength. Commonly used in CrossFit, a dumbbell snatch workout challenges both strength and endurance while training one side of the body at a time.

    In this workout, dumbbell snatches help increase intensity, improve unilateral balance, and add variety to your training. Whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete, the dumbbell snatch workout format can be easily scaled and is highly effective for total-body conditioning.

  • 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.

  • 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.
