Grit Grid - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 16

1: 6 Burpee Box Get Overs
2: 8 Deadlifts + 8 Hang Power Cleans – Intermediate: @35/50 | RX: @40/60
3: 12–16 Pull-Ups / Chest to Bar
4: 6 D-Ball Cleans @70/100 RX: @100/150 lbs

Workout Overview

“Grit Grid” is a grindy EMOM where you alternate between explosiveness, pulling power, gymnastics, and raw strength. Each minute has its own unique challenge—burpee box get overs for movement accuracy and fatigue resistance, a barbell complex for cycle control, pull-up options to scale gymnastics volume, and a heavy object lift in the form of D-ball cleans.

Execution and Focus

Keep the burpee box get overs fluid—don’t waste time at the top. For the barbell minute, stay tight in the deadlifts, then use leg drive and fast elbows in the hang cleans. Pick a pull-up option that keeps you moving each round. The D-ball cleans are heavy but manageable—focus on hip extension and efficient ground-to-shoulder mechanics.

Strategy and Finish

This EMOM rewards consistency. Make every round look the same: fast, efficient, and clean. You’ll build fatigue in the upper body and posterior chain quickly, so breathe during transitions and don’t redline early. Keep a smooth pace across all 4 blocks so you can finish strong in the final minutes.

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 get over

    Burpee box get overs are a high-effort, full-body movement that combines a burpee with getting up and over a box—any way possible. A staple in burpee box get over workouts, this movement tests strength, agility, and grit in a raw, unpolished format.

    In this workout, burpee box get overs spike your heart rate while demanding coordination, explosive hips, and upper-body engagement. Unlike standard jumps, there’s no prescribed technique—just get over the box fast. Perfect for obstacle-style conditioning and mental toughness training.

  • d-ball clean

    The D-ball clean is a functional strongman-style lift where an athlete lifts a heavy medicine ball from the ground to the shoulder. Frequently seen in D-ball clean workouts, this movement emphasizes brute strength, hip extension, and full-body coordination.

    In this workout, D-ball cleans develop posterior chain power, grip strength, and explosive movement mechanics. The awkward nature of the D-ball builds raw, functional strength, making it an ideal tool for athletes looking to add variety and grit to their 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.

  • Deadlift

    The deadlift is one of the most effective strength movements in any fitness program. It targets the posterior chain — including your glutes, hamstrings, back, and core — making it a cornerstone of any deadlift workout.

    In this workout, deadlifts develop raw strength, posture, and pulling power. Whether you're lifting light for speed or going heavy for strength, the deadlift builds a solid foundation for both performance and injury prevention.

  • hang power clean

    The hang power clean is a dynamic barbell movement that builds explosive power, coordination, and full-body strength. A staple in many hang power clean workouts, it focuses on lifting the bar from the “hang” position (above the knees) to the shoulders — without a full squat.

    In this workout, hang power cleans challenge your hip drive, grip, and timing, making them ideal for both strength work and high-intensity conditioning. Whether you're cycling reps or going heavy, the hang power clean develops efficient movement and athletic explosiveness.

  • 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.
