“Grace”
30 reps for time of:
Clean and Jerk 135/95
7 Minute Cap
This WOD is ideally done incredibly fast, in 2-4 minutes or less, which is why we’ve done a 3-4 minute cap on her before. You can scale this to be able to achieve the desired result or, maybe today you go for a heavier weight and gut it out…if you’ve got the guts. Either way your goal should be to STAY ON THE BAR…you only need to chalk up once before the clock starts. No water breaks during Grace.

A Call For Volunteers!
As many of you know, this Saturday is the final event of the Subway Series at CFSBK. In order for the gym to run a great event we’ll need some volunteers to help with registration and judging. If you’ve got some time on Saturday between 9am and 1pm we would love a few extra hands to help us out. Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com to sign up as a volunteer. Thanks!
Labor Day CFSBK Surf Trip!
No work = all play. This Labor Day (9/5) SBK is returning to Rockaway Beach! We’ve already talked to Frank and the guys at New York Surf School to set up another group surfing lesson out at Beach 67th St. The session will run from 11am-1pm and will be $70. They provide the boards and a rash guard so all you’ll need is water, a snack and your fine selves.
But wait, there’s more… After surfing, we plan on hanging out at the beach and catching some of summer’s last rays. Who knows, maybe we’ll even WOD… So, even if you’re not crazy about surfing come join us for an afternoon of sandy shenanigans! Open to all. Anyone interested should send an email to jessica(at)crossfitsouthbrooklyn(dot)com with “Surfing” in the subject line.
Class Schedule Updates
There are no classes this Saturday for the final event of the CF Subway Series. There will also be no Active Recovery next Tuesday night. To see all the upcoming schedule changes, please check out the Class Schedule page which lists all upcoming holidays and events that affect the our calendar.
