What EMOM means

EMOM means Every Minute On the Minute. At the top of each minute you start that minute's movement, get your reps in, then rest whatever time is left before the next minute begins. Move well and you buy yourself more rest.

Scaling options

Elevated push-ups; assisted or bench dips; rear-foot-low split squat; reduce load or tempo as needed

Back-friendly · McGill method

Keep your ribs down and abs tight on the floor presses and push-ups so your back stays flat, not arched. Set your feet solid on the split squats and keep your chest up instead of folding forward. Stay tall on the dips and don't let your body collapse. If your shoulders don't like the bar dips, swap in bench dips or close-grip push-ups.
