Choose your weakest Fight Gone Bad movement and do some focus training on it. Here are some options:
Technique Phase: Practice the movement in a fatigue free environment.  Make every rep perfect.
Consistency Phase: See if you can do 15-25 reps while maintaining consistent technique. If form breaks down, take a break.
Intensity Phase: Perform 3-5 one minute pressure tests for max reps. Either rest as needed between attempts or set a rest interval.

CFSBK at $14,570 for Fight Gone Bad
To date, CrossFit South Brooklyn has raised $14,570 for charity, more than double what we raised last year!  I'd like to especially acknowledge Matt Ufford who has raised $6,671 through the Kissing Suzy Kolber blog where he is a contributor.  Matt also won a pair of FGB IV Oakleys for being the top fund raiser internationally on 9/16.  On top of this, our own Jim Ryan was the winner of the Home Stretch Challenge last Wednesday. He raised $520 and gets pair of FGB IV Oakleys too. Great work, guys!

Here are our top 5 fund raisers
1. Matt U:  $6,671
2. Brian S:  $985
3. Jim R:  $915
4. Gerrit G:  $703
5. Anne W:  $545

Because of all this phenomenal fund raising, CrossFit South Brooklyn will be receiving a limited edition 24"x36" event poster and a 3'x3' vinyl banner from the good folks at Fight Gone Bad IV.

If your fund raising hasn't hit the floor running yet, why don't you spread some good karma by donating $10 to someone else from SBK?  Click this link and search for South Brooklyn under "Team Name" to make your move.

There will be a 5pm L1 Class today!

CrossFit South Brooklyn has officially signed a 10 year lease for our new home on 597 Degraw Street.  Our facility will be approximately 4,700 sq feet with 19 foot ceilings and a huge roll up gate.  With our own space we will be able to provide much better services including showers, nicer bathrooms, heat!, more classes, bailing potential, more training options and overall better product.  We'll also be right down the block from our new BFFs, Brooklyn Boulders.  The expected completion of the facility will be November 1st however our move in date will be dependent on the Certificate of Occupancy which we're hoping will be signed shortly thereafter.
Thank you so much to all our members and staff who made this move a possibility.  Remember, this is a huge accomplishment for all of us.  Very gradually over the last two years every single member and trainer has contributed to making South Brooklyn what it is today. 
We've only seen the tip of the ice burg.

We want to create even more of a home away from home atmosphere with our box.  This means that everyone's input is necessary for making it a success.  What kind of things would you like to see in our permanent facility?
