40’s the new 30

How bout those goats?

Nice job getting those goats up on the board. Some of you may need to rethink your goats a bit and make them more specific. Goat training isn’t going to be just “work on your goat for 20 minutes”. That can easily turn into a lot of standing around and being unproductive. Your goats will alternate daily and they will be done in the form of EMOMs and in WODs. This will not be as cut and dry as the normal programming, you will need to think for yourself a bit more. If your goat is muscle-ups and the WOD calls for 30 reps 3x of your goat, I don’t think you will be doing 90 muscle-ups….and if you manage to do 90 muscle-ups then you need to rethink your goats. If you have muscle-ups, but just need to get better at them, you could do 5-10 instead of the 30. If you are working towards them you could do 15 C2B and 15 ring dips each round, or 10 Strict Chest to bar pull-ups. Pick the limiting part of the movement for you and work on it exclusively.

Another example would be if you have a hard time with heavy squat snatches. That is your goat. But light squat snatches you could do all day. In this situation, you may want to scale those 30 reps to 5-10 reps at your goat weight. Decide before the WOD and stick to it.

It’s going to feel weird. There will be aΒ shmorgishborg of movements going on at once with people screaming f***!!! from all directions. A lot of the WODs are not going to be for time. You will need to slow down and properly execute the movements. It is only 3 weeks of your training and we want you to take this seriously. This is your chance to really attack your weaknesses and close the gap between where you dominate and where you stay home. The coaches are here to help you with rep schemes and making your goat work with the WODs. Rowing, running, and double numbers will have different numbers for just about everything.

    C+J: 225# woof – jerks sucked today, clean up to 245#, got under 260# but couldn’t stand it up
    WOD: 14:01 – stood around for about 20 seconds after finishing the GHDs before I realized I still had 400m to run

    Warm up: done
    Squat clean + sj: 135#- felt very manageable so that’s progress!
    Wod: timer stopped, slower than Petra and gill. I’ll call it 20 min. Red band dips. My rings were tangled at top and I kept twirling around while dipping like I was on a tire swing.
    Saw one of Gill Ps MU after class. It looked very easy and graceful. It’s great to see all her hard work after class paying off!! Very exciting and makes me want to practice more.

      I don’t know if “easy” or “graceful” would be the best words here, but thanks, Kara!! I am really excited to watch all the Toasties get better in the next few weeks!!

    This is my best guess for how most of the new Burnt Toasty days will look like when working on goats. I want to focus on the butt shaker machine.

    248lbs, off my PR. It’s still jah.

    15: something for the metcon. Actually felt real fast with the run, a lot different from the slow as molasses runs during the July 4th burner.

    I’m looking forward to taming those goats of mine!

    I’m going to prove that 40 is the new 30. I’m hoping for a PR tonight and I will be working on my biggest of many goats -Double Unders.

    Goats (I’ll get them on the board):
    DUs once I am tired, Butterfly PUs/CTBs – both crushed my scores in Open
    And as always, more squatting.
