Double-under EMOM timer

Every minute on the minute: a few doubles at the top of each minute, then rest until the next one. Pick the rounds and your number, press Start, and let the clock do the nagging.

This timer needs JavaScript. Without it, any clock with a second hand will do: at the top of every minute, do a set number of doubles. Rest for whatever is left of the minute.

What EMOM means

EMOM is every minute on the minute. When a minute starts, you do the work; whatever is left of that minute is your rest. Quick work, more rest. Slow work, less. Six rounds is six minutes, whatever happens.

The drill: every-minute doubles

Makes doubles a thing you do tired, which is when they matter.

  1. At the top of every minute, do a set number of doubles.
  2. Rest for whatever is left of the minute.
  3. Pick a number you can do unbroken on a good day, minus a few.

How much: 6–10 minutes — which is where 6, 8 and 10 rounds come from.See it animated.

Who it suits

Athletes who can already string doubles together unbroken and want to do it again and again. If your number for a round would be one, this is not the tool yet — it keeps time, it does not teach a first double.

Still on the way there? The timing drills teach the rhythm:penguin taps, power singles, side swing and jump. Then the doubles drills build them up one at a time:one and done, single, single, double, double, single. Not sure where you are? Find your starting rung.
