Add about 5lbs from the previous exposure. Bar speed should still be consistent and quick.

Back to our normally scheduled programming

Classes will resume at noon today and continue as normally scheduled moving forward. We hope that “Sandy’s” effects were minimal on the CFSBK community.  Our thoughts are with those who suffered property damage, injury or worse during the storm.

 

No Active Recovery or Competition Class tonight

Due to expected large classes this evening we’ll be running regular programming only. Come on in to clean and WOD!

Due to Hurricane Sandy’s increasing winds and forecasts for today, CFSBK is closed. Please stay safe and inside!

Alex V from the Brooklyn Community Foundation speaks at Fight Gone Bad 2012

Congrats to Gowanus Clean Up Crew, Avi’s Calves and Better Late Than Never on a successful Fight Gone Belated yesterday afternoon! We’d also like to thank all the folks who hung out to spectate and cheer them on!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow’s AM classes are cancelled as the storm is predicted to be most intense tonight and tomorrow morning. We’ll see how the weather develops throughout the day. We miss you!

Looking for something to watch? Check out the Mikko Salo Documentary. So awesome!

Fitness: 3×5 Across
Add 5lbs from exposure 1 or if you were not here Wednesday, back up 2 weeks for today’s loading. Choose a weight that allows you to potentially add 30-60 lbs to your sets across over the next 6 weeks

Performance: Heavy 5
Work up to a top set of 5 reps, heavier than Wednesday’s volume squats, start today at about 80% of a 1RM. This is meant to be a 5RM but you’ll be seeing this for the next 6 weeks so leave room. Seriously, leave room
