Coach-Written Guide

CrossFit Workout Plan — Stop Winging It and Start Progressing

Most CrossFit athletes do not follow a plan. They show up, do the WOD of the day, and call it training. For general fitness, that works fine. But if you have been doing CrossFit for more than a year and your lifts have stalled, your benchmark times have plateaued, or you feel like you are always tired without getting fitter — the problem is not your effort. It is the absence of a plan. This guide explains how to build a CrossFit workout plan that produces measurable results.

Common Questions

How does an EMOM workout work?

At the start of each minute, you perform the prescribed reps. Whatever time remains in that minute is your rest. When the next minute starts, you go again. The less time you need to complete the work, the more rest you earn.

What is a good EMOM rep count?

Target 30–45 seconds of work per minute, leaving 15–30 seconds of rest. If you're always finishing in under 20 seconds, increase the reps or weight. If you're running over the minute, scale down.

Can I use EMOM for strength training?

Yes — EMOMs are excellent for strength work. A classic approach: every minute, perform 3–5 reps of a barbell lift at 70–80% of your max. The built-in rest makes it sustainable over 10–15 rounds.

What is the difference between EMOM and AMRAP?

In an AMRAP, you decide your own pace and rest. In an EMOM, the clock enforces the work/rest structure — you must complete the work before the next minute starts. EMOMs develop pacing discipline; AMRAPs test raw output.
