Most people think they’re crushing their workouts, but they’re actually just spinning their wheels. In this episode, we’re breaking down the three most common workout formats in CrossFit and functional training: EMOMs, AMRAPs, and For-Time workouts.
Here’s the problem:
EMOMs turn into sloppy AMRAPs.
AMRAPs become pacing challenges instead of true work capacity builders.
For-time workouts lead to form breakdowns and zero intent.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ The actual purpose of EMOMs, AMRAPs, and For Time workouts.
✅ How to program them for strength, conditioning, and skill work.
✅ When to use each format and when not to.
✅ The biggest mistakes people make and how to fix them.
✅ How to structure your workouts for progress, not just fatigue.
If you’re tired of burning out and not seeing results, this episode will change how you train.
