• Overview: Goat days are programmed the Thursdays before the Open announcement. This is a chance for you to pick two of your weaker movements you'd like to work on in an EMOM format.
• Example:

Minute 1: 30 Double Unders
Minute 2: 8 Toes to Bar

• If you would like to simply complete a conditioning piece, we've also provided a 20-minute EMOM that takes into account the movements we've already done this week. Complete either this "Goat Day" EMOM or the "First Hand" (Optional EMOM) below - not both.

*Disclaimer: We don't know what movements will show up in the Open tomorrow, so be prepared to potentially do the same movement two days in a row if you plan to complete the Open tomorrow.

• Stimulus: Practice [RPE 2-3]

• Overview: Today's workout is a chance to get in some quality movement, breathe, and sweat a little. Work at a moderate pace, around RPE 5-6.
• Bike: You can choose which type of bike to use.
• Sit-ups: Both hands must touch the ground behind your head at the bottom of the sit-up and both hands must touch your feet at the top of the sit-up.
• Double Unders: This is a great chance to practice double unders for those who want the work, as the time is capped at 1:00 per round.
• Intended Intensity: RPE 5-6
• Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
• Target Score: 300-500 Reps
