Until I watched a video on Froning and Bailey and how they were training...I had never heard of this style of training. What is an EMOM? EMOM is an acronym for Every Minute On the Minute. So, at the start of each minute you complete whatever the EMOM workout is and you continue this for the prescribed amount of minutes. For example, this morning my workout consisted of the following:
20 minute EMOM
3 Power Cleans (135 lbs)
5 Toes-to-Bar
So, as my timer beeped the top of the minute I did the power cleans and toes-to-bar and then you "rest" until the timer beeps the top of the next minute and do it all over again...20 times.
I usually use this design for my strength workout (before my metcon). For example, I'll do EMOM 7 minutes of 5 Back Squats at 80% max....or..... EMOM 10 minutes of body weight bench press by 3.....or..... EMOM 8 minutes of 135 lb Hang Power Cleans x 5 reps.
I have really enjoyed this new twist to my morning workouts and I think you might to! Try it out!

This is an article (from the Crossfit Journal) and video about two of the men expected to place in this year's Crossfit Games which will take place next month.
As Rich Froning Jr. stepped out onto the competition floor at the 2011 Reebok CrossFit Games, many wondered what was written on his shoes. He says it was a line from scripture focused on the crucifixion of Christ.
“If I ever got tired and looked down at my shoe, I was kinda like, ya know, ‘This is nothing compared to what he went through for us,’” says the world’s fittest man.
Dan Bailey, who finished sixth at last year’s Games, says that during competition he thinks about what he’s grateful for.
“It’s not all about where you finish. It’s about the effort you give,” he explains. “You can easily put yourself in the position where, ‘Well, I’m not going to win, so why try?’ And that’s the complete wrong attitude to have … in anything in life. You have to do the best with what you have and do the best with what you’re given.”
Both men say God has given them gifts, and they understand that it’s not all about them.
“I figure this is my way to glorify him in all that I do,” Froning says.
