Prep Your Goat and Wheelhouse
WOD:
“Goat / Wheelhouse Day ”
On the Minute x 20
Odd Minutes Goat: movement
Even Minutes: Wheel House movement
“Goat” is CrossFit slang for a movement that challenges us. Examples: Double-Unders, Ring Dips, Overhead Squats. These are the best days to turn perceived “weaknesses” into “strengths.” No better way to do that than today.
We don’t improve our technique with a high heart rate–that’s what we refer to as “training”. Today is geared towards “practice,” dialing in our mechanics with a controlled heart rate. As an example, to improve the technique of double-unders, we want to practice at a low-intensity where we can really focus on the mechanics of the hands and the timing of the jump.
When we couple “training” with “practice” throughout the week in the right doses, we set ourselves on the fast track to results. Choose a “Goat a and a Wheelhouse to work on, and we’ll alternate between them on each minute. Coaches will have great suggestions in class.
“Wheel House” The definition in the CrossFit world is a movement that you love to see in WODS. It is something that you are very good at.

Goat and Wheelhouse: Goat 5-10 Wall Balls | Wheelhouse: 5 Pull Ups or 3 C2B
On the plus-side, I set out to do solids sets of 5 wall balls, which turned into solid sets of 7, and ended up with a solid set of 10. 🙂 I’m getting closer to moving this out of the “goat” column (not to worry, there are plenty more goats out there). Thanks for the cue on the pull ups Frozen – very helpful!
