EMOM WORKOUTS TO IMPROVE STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Benefits of EMOM workouts:

  • Pacing: EMOMs remove much of the thinking from a workout. The clock decides when you’ll be working and when you’ll be resting. Every minute you’ll also be able to see if you’ve done the given work in a faster or slower pace.
  • Progression: EMOMs are a great instrument for measuring progressions from week to week.
  • Adaptability: EMOMs can be programmed to train anything: power, the aerobic or anaerobic systems, mechanics or skills.
  • Rest Periods: Well-programmed EMOMs should have built in rest periods. Unlike a normal WOD, these rest periods allow you to analyze your performance after each minute. Feeling? Technique? Did your pace slow significantly? After analyzing each set, EMOMs allow you to redo the work at the start of the new minute.

10 CHIPPER WORKOUTS THAT EVERY CROSSFITTER HAS TO TRY!

Chipper WODs consist of a series of different exercises completed in sequence. Usually the movements are (generally) performed with lighter weights over higher rep ranges. Chipper WODs train endurance, strength, technique and pure mental toughness, and will test you to your limits!

 The name comes from ‘chip away’ which underlines that they are hard and extreme. Chipper workouts are exhausting, but will make you feel accomplished and happy at the end! Use lighter weights than usual so you can concentrate on speed and intensity. Scale accordingly to make sure that you don’t pause or rest for long between any exercises.

You have to complete each set before you are moving to the next one. Try to be as fast as possible, each one is a race against the clock!
