Extra Instructions:

We are going to take a classic approach today to the strict press sets with each set being completed on the 2:00 mark with the focus of hitting quality reps, having a good amount of rest and then increasing loads down to the single on each series of 5-3-1. You should feel like you get substantial rest here in order to tackle these loads.

Goals / Stimulus / Objectives

Goal: Complete each movement in under 50 seconds.

Time Domain: 40-50 sec for exercise.

Primary Objective: Unbroken Reps across all movements.

Secondary Objective: Maintain the upper range of each movement rep scheme.

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance + Strength Builder

RPE : 6/10
Workout Strategy Notes:

This EMOM is a combination of upper-body pushing strength, core endurance, stability, and gymnastics control. The key is choosing reps that allow consistent quality without hitting failure early.

Dumbbell Bench Press (10-15 reps)

Choose a rep scheme that stays 1-2 reps from failure (e.g., 12-13 reps instead of maxing at 15).

Control the negative (lowering) to reduce unnecessary fatigue.

Engage the core to avoid arching the lower back.

Rest 5-10 seconds before time expires to prepare for V-Ups.

V-Ups (15-20 reps)

Maintain a steady rhythm—don’t rush reps early.

Engage the lower abs first, not just hip flexors.

Modification: Tuck-ups (if needed) to maintain movement quality.

Rest 5-10 seconds before the next minute.

Strategy (No Measure)

Kettlebell Mixed Rack + Overhead Carry

Switch arms at halfway (15m/50ft each side)

One arm in the front rack, one in the overhead

3-5 Wall Walks

Break reps as needed (e.g., 3-2 if doing 5 total).

Pace the ascent & descent—don’t rush to avoid excessive fatigue.

Breathe at the top of each rep for control.

Modify if needed: Reduce to 2-3 reps or substitute with a plank walk-up.
