“Goat / Wheel house 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 two “Goats” 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/Wheelhouse: Goat – Double Unders Wheelhouse – T2B
Attempted double unders and got a few. If anyone has tips on how to perfect the ‘wrist flick’, I’m all ears. For T2B did 5 each round and alternated between kipping and strict, which felt good. I enjoy the opportunity to focus on things that are a challenge.
Don’t have many wheelhouses these days, so tried to focus on form and not get too tired for tomorrow’s likely thrusters!
A – 5 Hang Power Snatch…65#…I suppose this is wheelhouse-ish.
B – 3 Overhead Squats…65#…first one as a squat snatch…def goat-ish.
Goat: Push Ups / 8
Wheelhouse: Row / 12 cals
