The Workout description

Workout Overview

“Grind Rotation” is a 16-minute EMOM that rotates through three taxing stations and one mandatory rest minute. It combines power-driven dumbbell man makers, anaerobic output on the assault bike, and raw pulling strength via strict chin-ups. The flow is simple, but the execution is anything but—this one’s a grind through coordination, intensity, and muscular fatigue.

Execution and Focus

Start each round with smooth, deliberate man makers—maintain core control and keep transitions between the push-up, row, and clean-to-press tight. Move directly into the bike and push hard enough to elevate intensity without blowing out for the chin-up station. The strict chin-ups require control—use full range of motion and avoid swinging. If needed, scale reps or use a light band to stay moving with quality. The final minute of rest each round is critical—breathe deep, shake out arms, and reset posture.

Strategy and Finish

Treat the workout like four 4-minute sets. Focus on sustainable intensity in the early rounds—don’t max effort the bike if it will cost you chin-up quality. Break chin-ups into two sets if needed to preserve form. Efficiency in man makers is key: stay tight and use consistent pacing. Use each rest minute wisely—it’s your chance to recover and re-commit to clean movement. This EMOM rewards control and smart intensity.

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?

man maker
The man maker is a full-body dumbbell complex that combines a push-up, row, clean, and thruster in one continuous sequence. A staple in man maker workouts, this movement demands strength, stamina, and coordination—pushing both muscular endurance and cardio capacity.
In this workout, man makers target the chest, back, shoulders, legs, and core while reinforcing flow and movement efficiency. It’s a gritty, no-frills test of total-body resilience and one of the most effective minimal-equipment conditioning tools in functional fitness.
strict chin-up
Strict chin-ups are a vertical pulling movement performed with an underhand (supinated) grip, emphasizing biceps and upper back strength. In strict chin-up workouts, this foundational gymnastic skill builds pure pulling strength without momentum or kipping.
In this workout, strict chin-ups strengthen the lats, biceps, and core while improving scapular stability and grip. They’re a key tool for progressing toward more advanced skills and balancing push-pull development in any strength program.
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.
