Precision Pistols - Crossfit Workout

E3MOM 15

Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes (5 rounds):

12 Alternating Pistol Squats
12/15 cal Ski Erg
12 Pull-ups / Chest to Bar

Workout Overview

“Precision Pistols” is a lower-body skill meets upper-body pull EMOM built to test coordination, stamina, and pacing. Every three minutes, for five total rounds, you’ll cycle through alternating pistol squats, calories on the ski erg, and a pulling movement of your choice: either pull-ups or chest-to-bar. It’s a compact conditioning piece with a serious focus on movement quality.

Execution and Focus

Pistol squats demand balance and control—don’t rush them. Break into 2x6 or smooth alternating singles if needed. On the ski erg, push hard but leave enough in the tank to stay composed. For pull-ups or C2B, use efficient kipping and stay mindful of grip fatigue. Each round should take about 1:30–2:15, leaving you a narrow rest window to reset.

Strategy and Finish

Find a consistent pace early—this workout rewards those who can repeat effort, not blow up in round two. Use the final 15 seconds of each round to focus breathing. Stay sharp on pistol technique to avoid no-reps, and don’t overlook the impact of skiing on pull-up performance. It’s all about sustaining output while preserving movement quality.

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?

  • 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.

  • Ski Erg

    The SkiErg is a low-impact, high-intensity cardio machine that simulates double-pole skiing. It’s a favorite in many SkiErg workouts for building aerobic capacity, upper body endurance, and total-body coordination.

    In this workout, the SkiErg targets your lats, core, triceps, and legs, offering a unique way to train both power and pacing. Whether you're sprinting for calories or grinding out meters, the SkiErg delivers a serious conditioning challenge without stressing the joints.

  • pistol squat

    The pistol squat is a challenging single-leg movement that builds leg strength, balance, mobility, and core control. Frequently featured in pistol squat workouts, it’s a true test of bodyweight control and unilateral stability.

    In this workout, pistol squats improve coordination, ankle flexibility, and muscular endurance, especially under fatigue. Whether performed RX or scaled with assistance or to a box, the pistol squat adds intensity and precision to any functional fitness session.

  • 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.
