Cycle Command - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 20

1: 15 Pull ups / Chest to bar
2: 9 Clean & Jerks – Intermediate: @30/45 | RX: @35/50
3: 10 Burpee box jump over
4: 20 High Wall Balls @14/20 lbs, 10/11 ft
5: Rest

Workout Overview

“Cycle Command” is a high-volume, 5-station EMOM that cycles through upper body gymnastics, barbell conditioning, plyometrics, and wall ball stamina. Over 20 minutes, you’ll complete 4 working intervals and 1 rest minute per cycle. It’s a balanced test of pacing, coordination, and mental resilience, especially in later rounds when the wall balls start to hit hard.

Execution and Focus

Start smart. Pull-ups or chest-to-bars will set the tone — break early if needed to protect grip. Clean and jerks should be snappy and consistent — either touch-and-go or quick singles. Burpee box jump overs are non-stop effort; stay robotic and breathe. The wall ball target is high, so drive through your legs and keep your toss clean. Your rest minute is sacred — walk, breathe, and get ready to go again.

Strategy and Finish

Your mission is sustainability. Each minute should take ~40–45 seconds max to complete. If you go unbroken in round 1 and crash by round 3, you’ve missed the point. This is about repeatability under fatigue. Push hard, yes — but smart. Come into each round with a clear rep scheme (e.g., 8-7 pull-ups, 3-3-3 on C&Js). Use the final rest to prep for one more solid round. This is a mental toughness builder as much as it is physical.

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?

  • Burpee Box Jump Overs

    The burpee box jump over is a high-intensity, plyometric movement that combines a burpee with a lateral or forward jump over a box. A staple in burpee box jump over workouts, this movement tests explosive power, coordination, and grit.

    In this workout, burpee box jump overs elevate the heart rate, develop lower-body explosiveness, and challenge mental resilience. Unlike standard box jumps, the goal is to get over the box—not land on top—keeping the movement fast and fluid. It’s a perfect blend of cardio and power in a compact format.

  • 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.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • chest to bar

    The chest-to-bar pull-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that takes traditional pull-ups further by requiring the chest to make contact with the bar. Common in competitive CrossFit and advanced chest to bar workouts, it builds upper body strength, pulling power, and grip endurance.

    In this workout, chest-to-bar pull-ups challenge your lats, arms, core, and coordination—especially under high reps or in combination with other movements. Whether performed strict, kipping, or butterfly, chest-to-bar is a true test of bodyweight control and stamina.

  • clean and jerk

    The clean and jerk is a foundational Olympic lift that develops full-body power, coordination, and strength. A key movement in many strength and conditioning programs, the clean and jerk workout combines a pull from the ground (clean) with an explosive overhead lift (jerk).

    In this workout, clean and jerks train your hips, legs, shoulders, and core, making it one of the most effective lifts for building athletic performance. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the clean and jerk is essential for total-body development.
