EMOM of 3 Couplets

EMOM perform 5-4-3-2-1-2-3-4-5 of the first exercise and 5 of the second exercises of following couplets.  For example in minute 1 do 5 Bench+5 Pullups, minute 2 do 4 Bench+ 5 Pullups, minute 3 do 3 Bench+5 Pullups, etc.:

Couplet 1:

  • Bench Press @70kg
  • Strict Pullups

Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 2:

  • Hanging Cleans @ 50kg
  • Dips

Rest 2 minutes then do Couplet 3:

  • Handstand Pushups
  • Deadlift @ 70kg

Results:  Needed a heavier Bench Press but otherwise worked pretty well.

Back Squats plus a 30/30 Metcon

Every 2 minutes on the minute do Back Squats as follows:

5-5-5-5-5 @ 80kg

Then for time complete:

  • Row 30 calories
  • 30 x Wall Balls
  • 30 x Pullups
  • 30 x Box Jumps
  • 30 x Snatches @ 30kg
  • 30 x Burpees
  • Row 30 calories

Results:  16:15.  The original workout also had Toes to Bar as a the second set, but I forgot to do it when I was working out so if you are up to an extra challenge add them into the mix.  Be warned, as written it was already really hard.

Snatches then 3 minute AMRAPs

Every 2 minutes for 10 minutes:

  • 3 x Hanging Snatches @ 40Kg
  • 3 x Snatches @ 40Kg

The do two rounds of the following 3 sets, rest 3 minutes between each set:

Bodyweight EMOM, 3 Ways

EMOM perform 6 rounds of the following sets (one round is all three sets for a total of 18 sets/18 minutes).

First minute (4th minute, 7th minute, etc.) –

  • 3 x Deadlifts @ Bodyweight (70kg)
  • 9 x Kettelbell Swings @ 24kg

Second minute (5th minute, 8th minute, etc.) –

  • 3 x Toes to Bar
  • 9 x Burpees

Third minute (6th minute, 9th minute, etc.) –

  • 3 x Handstand Pushups
  • 9 x Pushups

Repeat for the 6 rounds…

Results:  Made this one up on my own and it seems like it worked really well.  Got the last pushup in the last round with 3 seconds to go, had to even breakup the handstand pushups.  Be careful and try and use more core with the burpees and less arm or your pushups will be really hard.  Right combination of keeping good controlled form since you have a whole minute, but also a good metcon because the volumes are high enough to get the blood pumping.
