Hey guys, Dan here from Dangerously Fit! Today, we’re diving into an awesome shoulder workout using our Adjustable Maverick Torque Club.
This one’s an EMOM workout—Every Minute On the Minute. If you’re new to EMOM, it means you’ll start a new set at the beginning of each minute.
So, if you finish a set in 35 seconds, you get a 25-second rest. Finish in 45 seconds? You only have 15 seconds to catch your breath. The goal is to stay within that 35 to 45-second range.
If you’re going too fast, add some weight. If it’s taking too long, lighten up.
Now, let’s break down the exercises. You’re going to do 20 rounds in total—one round each minute for 20 minutes. Each round consists of seven exercises, performed on both sides. Here’s what you’ll be doing:
Exercises
