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.
“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.”
Choose a Goat and a Wheel House to work on, and we’ll alternate between them each minute. Coaches will have great suggestions in class.

Hallow31: 39:13 |14# WB to 9′ Target | Bear Crawl
My “order of events” after the 800M Buy In: Ski Erg, Wall Balls, Bike, Sit Ups, Pull Ups, Shuttle Run, Battling Rope Burpees, Strict Press, Row, Bear Crawl, Ball Slams. By the time I got to the strict press, I could really feel my traps…a lot. I went with the ‘delayed gratification’ model and put the three things that I knew would trip me up the most at the beginning 🙂 A really fun workout and a great way to celebrate Halloween! Thanks Frozen, the WOD and the selection of Halloween music definitely set the mood. I am also sporting my Complaint Free World bracelet and may not speak for the next 21 days.
What are battling rope burpees? This “sounded” like a fun workout, but I needed a rest day today before tomorrow’s 20.4. Great job and Happy Halloween!
Battling Rope Burpees are pretty much what it sounds like – grab the battling ropes and do one rep, then go down to do a burpee and bring the rope back up with you into the next rep. I have to say, they were rather fun 🙂 Dare I say, they were ‘scary fun’.
Ah, I suppose that does make sense. Doh!
