AMRAP & EMOM Workouts

One of my most effective programs to get shredded was one that included a lot of EMOM and AMRAP workouts. 

EMOM - Every Minute On the Minute

AMRAP - As Many Rounds As Possible 

EMOMs typically includes 2 similar moves or the same move with heavy then light weight. Example: 

10 minute EMOM - 5 Hammer Curls heavy, 5 Hammer curls light

I would then have a timer that dinged at each start of a minute. I would do my 5 heavy, immediately switch to my 5 light, then what ever time was left in that minute, I’d be allowed to rest. Once the timer dinged and the minute was up, rest time was over and I’d start the round over again. 

AMRAPS typically included 3 moves, 2 similar and one that allowed those muscles to rest for a moment but still kept me moving.

10 minute AMRAP - 5 Incline bench barbell heavy, 5 incline bench dumbbells light, 15 crunches. 

The timer was set for 10 minutes and I had to do as many rounds of that workout as I could during that time frame. Progress was tracked based on how many rounds I got thru each session. 

These workouts were intense! And the results were some of the best I ever saw during the six week program I did. 

I would love to see something on the app that let me set up these types of timers and round trackers and them progressively increased my weights or my reps the way the Dr Muscle app does do well!
