Goats are those things that you struggle with. One of the points of CrossFit is to expose you to all different types of training and by doing so we will develop a more well rounded fitness within you. When you train like this, you’ll run into movements or things that you are very good at, and you’ll also run into movements and exercises that you will struggle with.
That’s a good thing. When you struggle is when you grow as a person. So I want to encourage you to embrace workouts that feature your goats. If you struggle with double unders, make sure you show up to do them in a workout. If burpees aren’t your thing, make sure you embrace the workout with 50 of them in it. That’s how you get better.
Also, spend time working on your goats. If you are an unlimited member, feel free to come in the class before yours, or stay the class after and practice your pull ups, or your handstands. There’s very few people that take advantage of this, and that in and of itself will help you become better faster. The better you become at the movements, the more you’ll be able to do and you’ll become fitter faster. They all go hand in hand.
So I want to encourage you to do two things….
1) Embrace the workouts that you suck at, that will make you better, and help you reach your goals faster.
2) Practice the movements that you struggle with and that’ll help you become better faster.
Show your goats some love.
