EMOM
EMOM 30
30 min · Every Minute on the Minute

Every Minute on the Minute for 30 rounds. A standard strength-endurance volume block — volume through repetition. Load swings, cleans, presses, or combinations; rest fills the remainder of each minute. This timer handles the full 30 minutes automatically with audio cues at every minute mark, so your eyes stay off the clock.

How It Works
1
The timer runs 30 consecutive rounds, firing a chime at each minute mark. Your job: start your reps when you hear the beep, rest when you're done, repeat.
2
At 30 minutes this is a genuine endurance session. The mental challenge is as real as the physical — keeping form and rep speed consistent from round 1 to round 30 is the goal.
3
A completion tone fires after round 30. At 10 reps per round that's 300 total reps — a volume block used as base-building work in long-cycle and snatch programs.
FAQ

Who is EMOM 30 for?

Experienced kettlebell practitioners doing base conditioning blocks. If you haven't done sustained EMOM work before, start with EMOM 10 or EMOM 20 first. 30 minutes is a significant session that requires both conditioning and a solid groove in your movement.

What weight should I use?

Go lighter than your usual working weight — you'll be doing this for 30 minutes. At 10 swings per minute, a 24 kg bell for men is typical for a hard session. Reduce to 16 or 20 kg for volume work where form is the priority.

Can I change movements mid-session?

Yes — the timer just fires every minute. Many programs alternate movements (e.g., swings for 10 minutes, cleans for 10 minutes, presses for 10 minutes). The timer doesn't care what you're doing, only that you start when it beeps.

Does the timer work offline?

Yes. Iron Timer is a PWA. Once loaded it works without internet, and the wake lock keeps your screen on for the full 30 minutes.

Can I pause mid-session?

Yes. Tap the screen to pause; tap again to resume. The minute countdown holds where you left it.
