ReplyDeleteLook long enough and there is a revelation in every workout. At times, these miraculous particulars masquerade under the guise of common sense. The ascending EMOM format is nothing new, work until lapse, physical and/or interval. Handling this layout efficiently in order to promote success, physical and/or interval, is usually open for debate. Not subject to discussion or question: Favorable methods for increasing press repetitions within said configuration.
There is limited utility in breaking sets. When terminal capacity calls, racking the weight and expecting a miracle is best saved for a long walk on 34th street. There’s simply no time to recovery adequately. Take full advantage of the weight while it is on the move. Partition efforts only out of necessity. Speaking from experience, sacrificing the momentum of continuous movement in the hopes of conserving energy and producing more reps later is like a suicide attempt from a 9ft ceiling with a 12ft rope.
