Comments Off on 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.

Practice Plate Walks

Then every 2 minutes on the minute for 5 rounds hold handstand for 30 seconds

Then for time do 5 rounds of:

  • 50 x Doubleunders
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatches Right Hand
  • 10 x Dumbell Snatches Left Hand
  • 10 x Burpees

Result:  Best I could manage was 2 sets at a time twice (one set is step up left / step up right / step down left / step down right).  For the hold, started with belly to the wall, then switched to back to the wall.  I think it would be good to also practice dismounts so I don’t have to down the wall at the end after the long hold.  For the Metcon:  15:51, HR ave=160 / max=171
