* First Number (Eccentric): Time spent lowering the weight.
* Second Number (Pause at Bottom): Time spent holding at the bottom.
* Third Number (Concentric): Time spent lifting the weight.
* Fourth Number (Pause at Top): Time spent holding at the top.
Intensity
* Low: 5 reps left in tank
* Moderate: 3 reps left in tank
* High: 1-2 reps left in tank
Conditioning Day
EMOM stands for “Every Minute on the Minute.” This kettlebell transformation workout utilizes this format where you start a specific exercise at the beginning of each minute and complete a set number of reps within that minute. The remaining time in the minute is used for rest before starting the next set at the top of the following minute.
