EMOM question in At Home Template

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Dear Dr. Feigenbaum and Dr. Baraki,

For the interval conditioning in the At Home Template, does EMOM for 12 minutes (alternating 15 squats and mountain climbers for 30s) mean that I have to complete 15 squats and 30s mountain climbers every minute? I did this today and it had me huffing and heaving @RPE 9 even though I was just 6~7 minutes in. At this point, do I stop the circuit altogether or soldier on with fewer reps and time per minute?

Sincerely,

Eddie Mun

Hi Eddie,
You’d do them on alternating minutes: Min 1= 15 squats, Min 2 =30 sec Man Climbers, and repeat until the 12 min cap.

Thank you Leah!!! This was boggling my mind xD I was trying to do both in one minute and ended up with RPE 10 :frowning:
