Is EMOM good for hypertrophy?

Boost Hypertrophy, Build Work Capacity

Metabolic stress is a critical aspect of muscular hypertrophy. EMOM training accomplishes this while adding a new challenge. EMOM stands for “every minute on the minute.” You do a set of an exercise at the start of every 60-second interval.

How effective is EMOM?

EMOM workouts are a highly effective form of training. They provide an efficient way to build muscle, strength, endurance, and overall work capacity. Moreover, they touch on nearly every aspect of one’s training. With EMOM workouts, you are hitting almost every major pillar of fitness.

How long should an EMOM workout be?

between 10 and 20 minutes

EMOM workouts are usually short.
They’re typically between 10 and 20 minutes long (though can be shorter or longer) and should be designed—by type of exercise and reps—to allow for some rest before the clock strikes the next minute.
