"Goat Day"

On the Minute x 20

Odd: Movement 1

Even: Movement 2

No strategy for this, as today is more of a focused practice session. The only think to keep in mind is the why behind the day. Rather than competing or training hard, athletes can look to maintain a high focus and lower heart rate. With this day being lower intensity, the minutes will not likely be full of work. This allows for more teaching within the workout than most days.

“Goat” is CrossFit slang for a movement that challenges us. Examples: Double-Unders, Pull-ups, Overhead Squats, Handstand Push-ups. 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. Choose an appropriate rep scheme for each movement that keeps things in the practice intensity range.
