(E4/4) Max Effort

Sub 4 Minute "Grace"
Attempt find the most weight you can Clean and Jerk for 30 reps in under 4 minutes. 

For example, if you can perform "Grace" as Rx'd in 3:08, try adding 10-15 lbs and see if you can keep it sub 4.  If your previous effort was 7-10 minutes, try dropping 15-20 lbs.  The goal is to scale this benchmark workout so that you can achieve the metabolic stimulus of a short, hard workout.  There is a hard cut off at the 4 minute mark.

Yoon locks out 215 lbs

Many of you newer folks started your CrossFit journey with us here on Degraw street.  There were however ancient times when our program was based out of The Brooklyn Lyceum. Lots of memories were made in that building and our time there helped us get to where we are today.  After 2 years in the Lyceum we left to make a home of our own just a few blocks away.  We marked the occasion with an unforgettable WOD and a "Gym Move for time" cool down.  Check out the photo set from that day here!

Or you can watch the CFJ preview video they did on us here

If you trained with us during the Lyceum days, what stands out as one of the more memorable moments or aspects of training there?

We're working on some new performance logs and want your input.  Our previous logs had the following information in them:

Benchmark WODs (Girls, Heros etc)
Benchmark Lifts (Squat, Clean etc)
The Zone Diet information (block charts etc)
Kilogram to Pound Conversion
Strength Standards
Acronyms and Abbreviations
What is CrossFit?
Hierarchy of Athletic Development

Because we're printing the next set ourselves, the format and information provided will be significantly different.  What kind of information would you want in a log book?  What do you think is unnecessary?
