Workout Overview

Stimulus

During Open weeks we offer two options for today Goat Day or an optional EMOM. The lesson plan today will be written for the Optional EMOM, but you can still utilize the general warm up if you choose to do Goat Day. 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: min 1: 30 Double Unders, min 2: 8 Toes to Bar). In the Option EMOM, 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.

Scoring

The One | Teaching Focus

Double Unders

Today is a great day to focus on doubles athletes.  Encourage them to practice a few things.

Relaxed shoulders, the wrist should be the mover not the whole arm.

Jump tall, we do not want to see any piking or donkey kicking in the jump.

Look For

  • Bike Erg: Steady effort, encouraging athletes to have smooth pedal strokes by pulling the pedals in the bottom. 
  • Sit Ups: Look for athletes to fully open the abdomen in the bottom of the rep before sitting up.  This ensures we are using all of the midline to sit up. 
  • Double Unders:  Look for our teaching focus points today.
