Cycle Stack EMOM - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 28

1: 10 Pull ups / Chest to bar
2: 6 Thrusters Intermediate: @30/45 RX: @35/50 + 6 Box jump overs
3: 6 Double DB Hang Cleans + 6 Double DB Box Step overs Intermediate: @2x12,5/17,5 RX: 2x15/22,5
4: Rest

Workout Overview

This 28-minute EMOM rotates through 3 challenging stations followed by 1 rest minute, repeated 7 times. You’ll cycle through gymnastics pulling, barbell conditioning, and dumbbell agility—all packed into a rotating structure that tests capacity and pacing. It’s a grind that requires strategic pacing and smooth transitions.

Execution and Focus

Start each round with either pull-ups or chest to bar—choose based on your current strength level. Stay tight and efficient on the kip. Thrusters should be done unbroken, then immediately transition to box jump overs—stay low and fast. On the third station, flow between DB hang cleans and box step overs without putting the weights down. Your rest minute is valuable—breathe, shake out, and reset.

Strategy and Finish

Each work minute should be completed within 45–50 seconds to leave room for transitions. Go unbroken early and break only if form degrades. Keep box jumps and step overs smooth—don’t trip in the rush. In later rounds, pull-ups or C2B may require small sets—manage grip. Use round 6 and 7 to push hard and finish strong. This EMOM is about consistency over time—own your pace and push the final interval.

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?

  • double dumbbell hang clean

    The double dumbbell hang clean is a compound lift that starts from the hang position (above the knees) and finishes with both dumbbells received in the front rack. Common in double dumbbell hang clean workouts, this movement trains power, timing, and control under independent loads.

    In this workout, double dumbbell hang cleans develop hip explosiveness, grip strength, and midline stability. The hang position shortens the range, placing more emphasis on speed and coordination—making it an excellent option for cycling, metcons, or strength-volume training.

  • 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.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • box jump over

    The box jump over is a fast-paced plyometric movement that builds explosive power, agility, and cardiovascular endurance. Unlike a standard box jump, you jump onto and over the box, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a go-to in many box jump over workouts for raising heart rate and testing athleticism.

    In this workout, box jump overs challenge your lower body drive, balance, and footwork — especially when performed under fatigue. Whether jumping laterally or facing the box, the box jump over keeps you moving with speed and precision.

  • 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.
