High Five EMOM - Crossfit Workout

EMOM 25

1: 400 meter Bike
2: 8–14 Strict HSPU / Wall Facing Handstand Push-Ups
3: 6 Thrusters – Intermediate: @30/45 | RX: @35/50 + 6 Bar Facing Burpees
4: 15 Pull-Ups / C2B / 4–6 Bar Muscle-Ups
5: Rest

Workout Overview

This 25-minute EMOM is structured for high-quality reps under rising fatigue. Each minute has a distinct focus: biking for monostructural conditioning, vertical pressing through strict and wall-facing handstand push-ups, a weightlifting-conditioning combo in minute 3, and gymnastics complexity with pulling variations. The inclusion of a rest minute rewards those who can stay moving with precision and efficiency.

Execution and Focus

The bike should be a challenging but recoverable effort — aim to hit it hard without compromising later rounds. In the second minute, pick the handstand variation that you can sustain for most of the EMOM block. Minute 3 is the grindiest: thrusters and bar-facing burpees demand tight form and controlled breathing. Use the 4th minute to test your gymnastics engine: stick to movement choices you can repeat across 5 rounds without breakdown.

Strategy and Finish

Avoid coming out too hot in the early rounds. This EMOM builds volume through exposure, not overload. Know your threshold for handstand work and gymnastics — unbroken reps are great, but so is sustainable consistency. Save a push for the final round, especially on minutes 1 and 3. Your performance here will reflect your ability to stay smooth under pressure.

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?

  • wall facing handstand push-up

    Wall-facing handstand push-ups are a strict gymnastic pressing movement performed with the athlete’s chest and nose toward the wall. Featured in wall facing handstand push-up workouts, this advanced variation increases core tension, shoulder demand, and positional accuracy.

    In this workout, wall-facing handstand push-ups develop vertical pressing strength, midline stability, and movement control. The close wall proximity improves stacking and reduces compensation, making this an ideal drill for mastering strict handstand mechanics and shoulder positioning.

  • single leg v-up

    Strict handstand push-ups are a high-skill gymnastics movement where the athlete lowers and presses their body vertically against a wall—without the assistance of a kip. A cornerstone in strict handstand push-up workouts, this movement demands strength, control, and precision.

    In this workout, strict handstand push-ups develop shoulder pressing strength, core stability, and upper-body control. They eliminate momentum, placing the full demand on muscular output. Ideal for gymnastic strength training, strict HSPUs are a benchmark for advanced pushing capacity.

  • 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.

  • bike erg

    The BikeErg is a fan-powered cycling machine that delivers a smooth, low-impact workout focused on leg power, aerobic endurance, and pacing control. Common in BikeErg workouts, it's perfect for both steady-state conditioning and high-intensity intervals.

    In this workout, the BikeErg builds quad and glute strength, while challenging your engine and recovery. Whether you're sprinting for calories or logging meters, the BikeErg is a versatile tool for improving cardiovascular fitness in a joint-friendly way.

  • bar facing burpee

    The bar-facing burpee is a high-intensity movement that combines a chest-to-floor burpee with a two-foot jump over a barbell. It's a CrossFit staple used in many bar facing burpee workouts to build explosive power, agility, and full-body conditioning.

    In this workout, bar-facing burpees spike your heart rate, test your coordination, and demand mental grit — especially when paired with heavy lifting or fast-paced intervals. Simple, brutal, and effective.

  • 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.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.

  • 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.
