EMOM = Every Minute On The Minute

Workout Flow:

-For today's Daily Sweat Workout, we will be performing 5 Chinups + 3 Dumbbell Bench Press in the same minute.

-The remainder of the minute is rest.

Focus Points:

-Choose a Chin Up Variation that will enable you to complete 5 reps each set unbroken before attempting your bench press.

-Banded Chin ups are definitely an option just be efficient with getting in and out of the band when transitioning.

-The dumbbell bench press total weight should be something you have the ability to perfrom 5-7 reps with when fresh but not much more.

-We want the weight to be heavy but doable for 18 minutes.

-Position shoulder blades down and back to create a position of leverage but also a safe position to press from with your shoulders.
