Angel Juarbe Jr. - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 10

3 Deadlifts - @65%
Max Burpees

Execution and Focus

EMOM 10 for Angel Juarbe Jr. combines 3 deadlifts at 65% of your one-rep max with a challenge of max burpees within the same minute. This format tests your strength endurance and aerobic capacity, compelling athletes to maximize effort under time constraints. The deadlifts focus on maintaining proper form while lifting, which emphasizes posterior chain strength and overall stability. Transitioning quickly to burpees pushes cardiovascular limits and enhances metabolic conditioning. Together, these movements form a rigorous test that caters to intermediate and elite athletes, emphasizing both strength and stamina.

Strategy and Finish

Begin with a steady rhythm to ensure that you maintain your strength throughout the workout. Each minute should allow for a quick transition from deadlifts to burpees, ideally taking no longer than 30-40 seconds for the deadlifts to leave ample time for burpees. Manage your rest wisely; you’ll need to find a balance between pushing hard during burpees and allowing enough recovery to sustain performance. As you progress, focus on efficient burpee technique to conserve energy. In the final minutes, push harder to maximize your burpee count, which could significantly impact your overall score.

How do you scale the workout

The hero wod "Angel Juarbe Jr." can be done by everyone

To scale the EMOM 10 workout for Angel Juarbe Jr., consider reducing the deadlift weight to 50–60% of your max. This ensures you can maintain good form while completing the required reps. If you're new to deadlifts, you can also switch to a lighter variation, such as kettlebell deadlifts, to build strength.

For the burpees, focus on quality over quantity. If max burpees are challenging, scale the movement by stepping back instead of jumping or performing push-ups from knees to ease the intensity. Set a target number of burpees that feels achievable, like 5–10 per minute, then gradually increase as your fitness level improves.
