Athlete Notes:

We’ve decided that EMOM’s are “so last cycle”. Why not beef them up a bit by making you stay on the minute for the first 20, and then set you free to complete a few rounds for time afterwards? Set a goal in your head during the EMOM portion of a specific rep scheme, and then try to stay to that as best as possible! Your goal should be at least 20 seconds of rest each minute (at least for the first few rounds). When you get to the three rounds for time, you should theoretically be able to maintain the on the minute style. But why do that when you can go faster? Push the pace here and don’t let yourself fall off that clock. Often times we see athletes check out when the clock isn’t there to make them go. Don’t let that be you! Hit this hard and earn your weekend!
