- 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 "Even Flow" (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.
