Workout of the Day

“Jenny”

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
20 Overhead Squats (45#)
20 Back Squats (45#)
400m Run

Notes:
Use a single barbell taken from the floor. Scale the load as needed so that you could complete at least 1 round of 20 Overhead Squats unbroken. Do not drop your empty barbell at any point in today’s workout or Coach David will cry.
Commit to 40 full depth, below parallel reps on every round of today’s workout.
Tune in to your self-talk and mindset. Is it helping or hurting?

“Jenny” is in honor of U.S. Army Capt. Jennifer M. Moreno, of San Diego, California, died Oct. 6, 2013, in Zhari District, Afghanistan, when enemy forces attacked her unit with an improvised explosive device. The 25-year-old was assigned to Madigan Army Medical Center on Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington state. Moreno is survived by her mother, Marie V. Cordero; sisters, Jearaldy Moreno and Yaritza Cordova; and brother, Ivan F. Moreno.

HOW AND WHEN TO PERFORM THE 2024 CROSSFIT OPEN WORKOUTS

CFSBKers will have three options for completing the CrossFit Open workouts each week. Check out your options below and make sure to register for the Open. This is our 14th year participating in the Open and it’s going to be RAD. 

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Every Friday we’ll run several heats of the Open workout in 597. This is a more festive approach to the Open where we light up the space, break out the discoball and encourage folks to come watch. It’s a lot of fun! If you want to participate just RSVP for a heat time on Zen Planner (AVAILABLE NOW ON ZP) FNL is free to CFSBK members and ONLY for people who have officially registered for the CrossFit Open.

Note that your heat start time means that’s when we’ll review the standards and start your workout. All warm-ups will be DIY beforehand. We also ask that after you perform your workout (and recover) you help judge someone from the next heat. Volunteer judges from folks watching are also extremely appreciated!! Week 1 is going to have some very special surprises!!!

SATURDAY CLASSES

We will run the Open workouts Saturdays in group classes through the Open. Sign-up for these classes will work as normal and be available to all CFSBK members. Note that individuals not registered for the Open through CrossFit will do a modified version of the Open workout instead of the official version.

Each class will include a warm-up, standards review and then run two heats of the workout so that one person can perform the workout while another judges before switching roles.

OPEN GYM

Members who would like to perform the workout in Open Gym between Thursday and Monday are allowed to but need to manage getting their own judge. Their judge needs to be someone else registered for the Open or well versed in CrossFit. If your judge is not working out this will not count as a drop in for them.

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Tempo Strict Handstand Push Ups
8 x 2-4 @ 3011 

Notes:
Choose a scaling variation today that allows you to work on a steady 3 second descent, with full control through the bottom of the rep, gently kissing the top of the head to the floor. Work with a full range of motion.

You may start with an easier variation if your first couple of sets to warm up, and build towards a more challenging variation. For example: 2 sets of 4 box piked on tempo, 1 set of 2 negatives, and then 5 sets of 3 strict on tempo at the wall.

Scaling Options:
A. Deficit (plates or parallettes)
B. Back to Wall
D. HSPU negative (3 sec down, kick down with control, then repeat)
E. Box Piked
F. DB Z Press (4 sets x 5-8 reps, heavy, elevate hips as needed)

METCON

EOMOM x 4 Sets (8 min)
:30 Row for Calories + :30 Wall Walks

EOMOM x 4 Sets (8 min)
:30 Row for Calories + :30 Floater Gymnastics Movement

Notes:
Time to work our gymnastics under a little fatigue! Advanced athletes can go pretty hard on today’s row to challenge their mechanics under intensity. Intermediate and beginner athletes should measure their pace a bit more on the row to keep consistent quality of movement throughout the 16 minutes.

Choose a floater movement that allows you to work on a weakness and/or round out your week!

Floater Ideas:
-Ring Dips, Matador Dips, or Push Ups
-Toes to Bar (if you were not here Tuesday)
-L-Sit (if you were not here Thursday)
-Strict or Kipping Pull Ups

February Member of the Month: Ashima Chitre

words by Julie Barnard

We’re delighted to announce that our February Member of the Month is… Ashima Chitre! Ashima brings boundless energy and infectious enthusiasm to every workout, making her an absolute joy to have in our community. Whether she’s conquering a challenging WOD or cheering on her fellow classmates, Ashima’s kindness and positivity shine through.

Now, let’s talk about Vinny – the furry sidekick that steals hearts. Ashima’s four-legged companion adds an extra dose of love to CFSBK. If you ever need a mid-workout pick-me-up, just swing by and say hello to Vin. His tail-wagging and sweet face are sure to bring a smile to your face!

And let’s not forget about Ashima’s love affair with our dumbbell collection. Rumor has it she’s on a first-name basis with each one of them! Whether it’s a cozy chat with the 20-pounders or a serious sweat session with the 50s, Ashima’s dedication to her fitness journey is truly inspiring.

Congratulations Ashima! Thank you for making CrossFit South Brooklyn a brighter, happier place. Keep shining, lifting, and spreading the love! We wouldn’t be the same without you.

Name (and any nicknames):
Ashima, Sheems, Sheemi, Shimmer (this was my high school nickname because I was often covered in glitter, intentionally)

Where were you born, and where did you grow up?
I was born in Mumbai, but grew up in Bahrain, a tiny island in the Middle East, off the coast of Saudi Arabia in the Arabian Gulf. It was a very multi-culti place to grow up, I loved it.

How long have you been CrossFitting, and how did you arrive at CFSBK?
I have been CrossFitting for 9 years, and I have been at CFSBK since 2019. I was at another gym for a while and learned some great foundations there. But I outgrew that place and needed to move on to a place where I could kick this plateau. I tried a couple of other gyms and just happened upon CFSBK on my commute to work, my office is just down the street from here. I stopped in and haven’t looked back since!

What are your current fitness goals?
Post pandemic, I find myself in a new body that is a different shape/size than it used to be. So learning how to master some of my old skills with this new body is currently my goal. For example, pull ups! I used to be able to do those, but not anymore.

What keeps you coming back to CFSBK?
The people, the dogs, and all the dumbbell options one could ever dream of!

Program your nightmare workout:
kipping HSPU, kipping pull ups and pistols (this is especially nightmare inducing because I used to be able to do all of those things and now I have to scale them all)

Program your dream workout:
Any olympic lifting complex, with dumbbells. So like a deadlift, to a hang power clean, to a push press as an EMOM. Love it!

If you had a walk out song what would it be?
It would be a Bollywood song from the 90’s called Chhaiya Chhaiya, the choreography is done on top of a moving train! The movie is great too, one of my favorites, it’s called Dil Se.

Favorite and least favorite lift:
Favorite is either the snatch or the clean, least favorite is HSPU

Ask me about that time I….
walked 3 hours at 4am to get to the beach

What are you recommending right now?
I recommend going to Masalawala in Park Slope. It is crazy spicy, but it’s perfect for winter. Their dishes are not what you get at a standard Indian restaurant. I had never heard of many of them because they are so specifically regional. But everything was delicious.

What are you up to when you’re not at 597 Degraw Street, and do you have any hobbies?
I am either at work designing a building, or walking Vinny, or fostering a shelter dog through Badass Brooklyn Animal Rescue, or I am sketching/painting (I showed some of my stuff at the CFSBK Art Show!).

Any advice for new CFSBKers?
Enjoy learning new things! CrossFit has SO MANY new skills to learn and new ways to move your body, it can be daunting. But just try to surrender to the process and realize that there will be some things you are great at, but many things you will suck at.

And our final question, what should we look for in a future member of the month?
Fitness and sports were always a big part of my life from when I was a little kid, so CrossFit was a natural progression for me. I would love to hear from someone who did NOT grow up with sports but is now a part of this wonderful community and can call themselves a CrossFitter.

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Every 2 min x 5 sets:
8 Deadlifts

Notes:
Refer back to week 3, where we had 5 sets of 6 reps, and use the same weight or something close. Each of these should be a challenging unbroken set, with maybe 2 reps in reserve.

PARTNER METCON

AMRAP 12:00
6 Push Ups
3 Hang Power Cleans
3 Push Jerks
6 Burpees

Notes:
Partners alternate full rounds of work.

Choose a weight on the barbell that you can do all 6 reps in one tough, unbroken set. As fatigue accumulates, work on staying consistent with the basics: midline stabilization, powerful hip drive, and speed under the bar. Suggested loading: +/185/155/125/105/85/65/-

Push ups are also intended as one quick, unbroken set, so elevate or modify to knees as needed.

JJ is starting a book club for artists to read “The Artists Way”

Check out this book club that CFSBKer JJ is organizing for fellow artists and wanna be artists that want some encouragement, community and motivation to create more art!

I (JJ) am organizing a book club where we start by reading The Artist’s Way. This book is supposed to be an incredibly helpful method for getting into a more regular practice for creating art. We already have a handful of people who said they will join the book club and we’re putting it out to the community to see if anyone else is interested.

There has been such big interest in working through The Artist’s Way, and I feel epically stoked to start this book club with a fantastic and engaged group. Many artists have said this book helped them get into a more regular practice of creating art, so it will be awesome to see what comes out of our collective adventure.

I probably would not get through the full book alone, so a BIG SELFISH THANK YOU in advance for helping to create this space, and practice, and community, and meaningful art.

STRUCTURE:
The book has 12 chapters, so we will read 1 each week (and meet each week to discuss)
Because of holidays or life, this book club will be about 12-14 weeks long
If meeting 1x/week proves to totally be the worst, we can reassess. However, let’s be BOLD and strive for every week!

TIMING:
Please fill out the survey in THIS LINK by Feb 1 – we will go with whatever time works for the most people
Goal is to start the week of Feb 12th on whichever day we select

LOCATION:
We can meet at my place: 266 15th Street (Brooklyn)
OR – if you have a bar in south Brooklyn you like that could accommodate ~10 folks, let me know
In the meantime, LMK if you’ve got any other questions or notes for me!

ONWARD!

JJ

Workout of the Day

FLOATER STRENGTH

A. Back Squat
8-6-4-8

Notes:
We are back to the same as Week 1, resetting to higher volume sets. Refer back to your notes over the past few weeks to guide yourself on loading today. If you hit this exposure the first time around, aim for all or most of the sets to be heavier!

B. Deadlift
Every 2 min x 5 sets: 8 reps

Notes:
Refer back to week 3, where we had 5 sets of 6 reps, and use the same weight or something close. Each of these should be a challenging unbroken set, an RPE of 8/10.

C. Strength Superset
C1. SA KB Front Rack Reverse Lunge: 4 x 6-8ea, not alternating
C2. Strict Chin Up: 4 x 5

Notes:
If 5 strict chin ups is no problem, add weight. If you have 1-2 bodyweight reps, do them, and then continue your set with a band to get 5 total reps. Otherwise, banded chin ups or negatives (4 x 2-3) are a good option.

D. Bench Press
6-6-6-6

Notes:
We are not bench pressing this week in the program, so if you’re coming M/T/W/TH, then this is the option fo you! If you did last week’s 5’s, aim to use similar weights and squeak out an extra rep on each set.

METCON

AMRAP 2-2-2
20 Kipping Toes to Bar
Max Calorie Assault Bike in remaining time
*Rest 2 minutes between efforts

Notes:
This is essentially a 2 min on, 2 min off workout, for 3 rounds. The intent is for athletes to have at least 1 minute on the bike, so scale back TTB volume or difficulty as needed.

TTB Scaling:
A. 12-15 Kipping TTB
B. 15-20 Kipping Knees to Elbows
C. 15-20 Kipping Leg Raises — legs straight, toes as high as possible, at least above hips
D. 10 Kip Swings + 20 Sec Hanging Knee Tuck Hold (accumulate time)

#INTHEOPEN

The 2024 CrossFit Open starts on Febuary 29th and as always, CFSBK will make this a memorable and RAD exerience for all of you. The first week in particular will be really RAD with some RAD dislplays of fitness happening. You don’t want to be left out on this! Read more and sign up today… we can’t emphasize this enough…. its going to be RADDDDD

What is the Open?
The Open is the first phase in the CrossFit competitive season consisting of three workouts programmed over three weeks. The vast majority of people participating in the Open are doing it for fun, to be part of the global community, to celebrate their affiliate and/or to challenge themselves. The best in the world do it to qualify for the next levels of competition which eventually lead to the CrossFit Games. One workout is released each week with three versions to choose from (“Rx’d” “Scaled” and “Foundations”) so that ANYONE regardless of ability or experience can participate. This is the one time a year everyone in the global CrossFit community comes together to celebrate fitness and throw down as one. It’s not uncommon for over 300k people to participate in the open!!

How does it work?
The first thing you need to do is register at CrossFit.com and make sure to put CrossFit South Brooklyn as your home affiliate. Through the three weeks of competition we’ll program the Open workout in group classes every Saturday as well as a special Friday Night Lights version if you want a little more fanfare around the event. This is a great opportunity to lean into the spirit of competition and “nerd out” on a workout much more than you typically would!

Workout of the Day

FLOATER STRENGTH

A. Back Squat
8-6-4-8

Notes:
This is tomorrow’s rep scheme, which is the same as week 1! Refer back to your notes as desired to guide yourself on loading today. If you hit this exposure the first time around, aim for all or most of the sets to be heavier!

B. Romanian Deadlift
4 x 8-10 @ 3011 Tempo

Notes:
Work at an RPE of about 7/10. This is intended as a slight deload from the heavier deadlifts we’ve been doing in the past three weeks. Focus on keeping the movement as a pure hip hinge, working through the range of motion you currently have access to.

C. Strength Superset 
C1. Goblet Reverse Lunge, 4 x 12-16 alt (6-8ea)
C2. Alternating KB Gorilla Row, 4 x 12-16 alt (6-8ea)

D. Overhead Squat
5-5-3-3-1-1

Notes:
Work up towards a heavy single. If you are new to the lift and/or struggle with mobility and stability in a full depth OHS, stay with sets of 3-5 reps on a steady tempo at a light to moderate load to work mechanics and consistency.

METCON

For Time
60-54-48-42-36 Double Unders
20-18-16-14-12 Alternating DB Bench Press

Notes:
The first round of DB Bench Press is 20 TOTAL alternating reps, 10 on each side.
Suggested DB loading = about 25% of your Bench Press 1 Rep Max, in each hand.

Examples: 140# 1RM = 35# DB in each hand. 210# 1RM = 50-55# DB’s.
Scale weight as needed so that you could do the bigger rounds in no more than 3 sets.

DU Scaling:
A. 40-36-32-28-24 (160 reps instead of 240)
B. 20-18-16-14-12 (80 reps)
C. 120-100-80-60-40 Single Unders

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Overhead Squat
5-5-3-3-1-1

Notes:
Take about 15 min to work progressive sets on this lift. If you are new to the lift and/or struggle with mobility and stability in a full depth OHS, stay with sets of 3-5 reps on a steady tempo at a light to moderate load, working on mechanics and consistency.

METCON

For Time:
1000m Row

Notes:
This distance on the erg is the perfect storm: you need to focus just enough on your pacing and technique so that you don’t “fly and die” in the first 500m and you also need to bring as much intensity as possible to the duration of your effort. By the time you get to that last 250m, throw down, and the last 150m … absolutely full send.

What is a good 1000m time?

Today’s monostructural benchmack is a 1K row on the erg. Across sex, ages and abilities, the average 1K time is about 3:30. Lucky for us, there is an abundance of rowing data to pull from which should inform your efforts today. Not only can you see worldwide averages, but what kind of 500m split average you’d need to hit particular targets. Check it out

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH / SKILL / CAPACITY

Bar Muscle Ups

Today we will work on three different tracks, from most foundational to most advanced: Strength, Skill, and Capacity. Choose one track that makes the most sense given your current abilities so today is a productive training day!

A. STRENGTH
A1. Pull Up Negatives, 5 x 2-3 reps @ 51A5 tempo
A2. Matador Dips, 5 x 6-10 reps @ 3011 tempo

Notes: 
If a mature 5 second lock off and pull up negatives are still a work in progress, then today do 5 sets of 5 self/foot-assisted pull-ups with a barbell set up in the rig.
Using a band is okay on the dip if full depth and tempo are achieved.

B. SKILL
EOMOM x 4 Sets (8 min)
Hips-to-Bar Kipping Drill x 1-1-1 reps
EOMOM X 4 Sets (8 min)
Jumping Bar Muscle Up Drill x 2-3 reps

Notes: 
This track is appropriate if you already have strict pull ups, strict dips, and 5+ unbroken Chest to Bar Kipping Pull-Ups. In the hips-to-bar drill, do 1 rep at a time, taking a few seconds to reset between jumping up again. The goal is to drill your hollow/arch positions and get the hips as high/close to the bar as possible.

C. CAPACITY
EOMOM x 8 Sets (16 min)
2-5 Bar Muscle Ups

Notes:
This track is appropriate if you have the above pre-requisites and have previous experience with successful BMUs!

METCON

Every 3 min x 4 Sets
20 Russian KB Swings + 20 sec Bike Sprint

Notes:
Let Tim Paulson from the 2022 CF Games inspire your efforts today! Team up with a couple of other folks and challenge each other to go as hard as you can on the bike! Watch your RPMs and work to see the biggest number you can during your sprint. Be like Tim.

Workout of the Day

METCON / SKILL

EMOM x 6 MIN
A. 1:00 Crossover Jump Rope (AMRAP)
B. 1:00 Forearm Plank

Notes:
In this quick workout, athletes will switch back and forth from the jump rope and a plank hold. Work closely up to the minute on each movement and aim for a relatively quick transition. The goal for today is to keep it simple and play with the crossover jump rope skill!

STRENGTH

4-5 Progressive Sets

A1. Lateral Box Step Downs x 6 ea side @ 3011 tempo
A2. Cuban Rotation x 8-12 reps @ 3011 tempo
A3. Sled Push x 100′ 
A4. Alternating KB Gorilla Row x 12-16 alt/6-8 ea

Notes:
Strength circuit party! Rest as needed throughout. Start with light loads in your first set and aim to increase weight as you go along.

There’s a quality and tempo emphasis on the first two movements. Start the Cuban Rotations at 2.5-5#, and focus on rotating the shoulder in the socket without any change to the position of your shoulder-blades.

For the Step Downs, choose a box height you can use a controlled 3 second descent on, where your toe OR heel just barely kisses the floor before returning to stand. Do not step all the way down or put weight onto that free leg to push off from. Load as appropriate: bodyweight, plate press-out/counterbalance, or goblet.

On the sled push and rows, go heavy and see what you can do!

SATURDAY 2/10/24: DYNAMIC MOVEMENT SCENARIOS, PLAYING AND PARTNER WORK

Loooooooooong time CFSBK JMD (pictured above) will be hosting a FREE movement clinic for CFSBK members!

What will we be doing?

During this 90 minute session we will engage with a variety of games, tasks, and riddles.  Generally speaking, the goal of these activities will be less about “getting good at them” and more about extracting skills and attributes that we can absorb into our bodies and carry with us into other moments of our life. 

We will touch upon…

• Rhythm and timing
• Balance
• Mobility
• Spine work,
• foundational coordination patterns,
• partnering,
• basic terminology,
• entry-level, ground based acrobatics
• locomotion patterns
• Somatics

Our time together will be informed by the world of ‘‘movement practice’.

What is a movement practice?

There are many ways to answer this question.  Below are a few ideas from people and communities that have inspired and informed my practice:

“A movement practice is a comprehensive approach to physical activity that aims to develop the body and the mind harmoniously.” – APECO movement school

“The goal is to be strong, supple, expressive, coordinated, to develop movement intelligence, and ultimately to thrive in any physical situation.” Republic of Movement

Similar to Crossfit, there are entry points for people of all abilities.Take a look at the instagram accounts linked above and below for a visual sense of the kinds of work we will be engaging with.

Who am I?

My name is John. I am not a movement teacher. (I am a kindergarten teacher.) I have maintained a daily movement practice for the past seven years. I was a student of Frank Powers and Roseanne Serpico for several years. I now study with Marcello Palozzo.  I was introduced to the world of strength and conditioning in my late twenties by David, Chris and Shane. CFSBK stand up!
