It’s OTM not EMOM – Week 1 of 12
This is a 12-week cycle that relies on On The Minute work for all competition lifts and variants. It peaks in week 12 for competition or max snatch and clean & jerk testing, but also has many opportunities for heavy single competition lifts.
Volume: Moderate-High
Intensity: Moderate-High / Varianble
Good For:
Competition preparation
Competition lift technique and consistency
Notes:
OTM means each set is started exactly 1 minute after the previous set is started, NOT 1 minute of rest betweet sets.

See this if you're unclear about the notation.

For that day, if there are no misses, you may continue working up in singles for UP TO 5 sets (it is written as "then work up for 5 sets max", meaning no more than 5 sets). So if you are continuing up from 76%, it is very UNLIKELY that you will get to a max in 5 more sets.

Thank you for sharing this program! How long and which part of the lift should I pause for during Pause Back Squats (weeks 1-4 for example)?
