Final Free Dynamic Movement sessions with JMD this Saturday

Loooooooooong time CFSBK JMD (pictured above) will be hosting FREE movement sessions for CFSBK members! Each session will have a different focus. This Saturday will be the final class offered!

Sessions are from 1:15pm-2:30pm and free for CFSBK members, limited to 10 slots and folks are encouraged to sign up for all three sessions.

October 12th: Sight. steady gaze, tracking, peripheral vision, convergence and divergence, differentiating between movement of the head/neck and eyes
Register Here!

What will we be doing?

During these 75 minute sessions we will engage with a variety of games, drills, tasks, and partner scenarios.  Generally speaking, the goal of these activities will be less about “getting good at them” and more about extracting awareness, skills and insights that we can absorb into our bodies and carry with us into other moments of our life.

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

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!

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Strict Ring Muscle Ups
4-6 sets x 1-3 Reps

Notes
Continue to build on what you’ve been learning and practicing so far this cycle.

Athletes who are proficient with dips and in the false grip pull up with rings to chest are good candidates to attempt a muscle up with or without assistance. If you’re still working on the foundations of false grip strength, overall pulling strength, and ring dips, then you’ll get more benefit out of spending time with one of the other scaling options. Find the most challenging option for you that allows full ranges of motion.

Scaling:
A. Partner/Coach Assisted RMU
B. 3 Ring Turnover Drill + 3-5 Dips*
C. 3 False Grip Ring Pull Ups + 3-5 Dips
D. 3 Foot Assisted Ring Pull Up + 3-5 Dips
*All dips are on a 2011 tempo. They can be done on the rings, matador, or parallettes!

ASSISTANCE

3-5 Rounds for Quality:
10 ea DB Suitcase Box Step Ups
20 Alternating Seated Pike Overs*
10-15 Seated DB Reverse Flyes

*scale to single leg pike overs as needed, 10 each

Every 90 Sec X 4 Sets
1 Power Clean + 1 Push Press

Notes
This week we are lifting every 90sec and dropping the reps to doubles and singles!

As last week, take each power clean as a single, resting a few seconds between. If you can demonstrate consistent mechanics on your dip and drive, feel free to cycle the push presses today. Otherwise, reset at the rack position for each rep.

Remember if things start to fall apart, use what you learned in our “wave loading” last cycle. Don’t be afraid to come back down to a lighter load to clean things up before moving on to heavier weight!

METCON

EMOM x 14 min
A. 3 Wall Walks + Max Reps Double Unders
B. Rest

Notes
This EMOM focuses on a mix of strength, coordination and conditioning. The wall walks will challenge your shoulder stamina, so aim for smooth, controlled reps to avoid unnecessary fatigue.

Once you complete your 3 wall walks, quickly transition into double unders – stay relaxed in your wrists and shoulders to mantain efficiency and rhythm. The goal here is maximizing reps while keeping your breathing under control.
Use the rest minute to fully recover, focus on calming your heart rate, and prepare mentally for the next round. Consistency is key!

A1. Back Squat 3×8, building
A2. Incline Dual DB/KB Row 3×8-10 @ 2011 tempo

Notes
Refer back to your notes from Week 2’s squats and aim to go heavier today. Continue to challenge yourself on the rows!

METCON

For Time:
1000m Row
50 Wall Ball Shots
10 Bar Muscle Ups

Notes
Intent <10 min. This workout is designed to challenge both, your cardiovascular endurance and gymnastic coordination under fatigue. The row sets the tone with a demanding start, so pace yourself! Advanced athletes should push hard throughout and potentially aim to go unbroken.

As you transition to wall ball shots, focus on efficient movement and breathing; use your legs to drive the ball up to minimize fatigue in your arms and shoulders. When you get to the BMU, break them into manageable sets if needed to avoid burnout.

Keep transitions smooth but use them to catch your breath, and remember that goal is steady, consistent effort to finish strong.

BMU Scaling
A. 5-7 BMU
B. 15 Chest to Bar Pull Ups + 10 Dips*

Charlie Running for Team for Kids

On November 3rd, I’ll be running my second NYC marathon. I’m running with Team for Kids, a team of adult runners who raise funds in support of New York Road Runners youth and community programs. Your donation will help empower youth and communities to develop and encourage healthy habits via running.

Together, we can help communities across the country to live healthier, more active lives. To donate, just click here or if it’s easier, Venmo @Charlie-Nagle.

I have until Wednesday October 9th to reach my fundraising goal and I am SO close- no amount is too small.

Thank you again to all who have already donated in support of this great cause. This community has been incredible and so supportive.

Our finish line is active kids, healthier lives, and stronger communities through running!

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

2 (Squat) Snatches + 1 Overhead Squat

Notes
Take 15 minutes to work on the above complex. The snatches can be done as singles, resetting from the floor.

Start with light loads that allow you to focus on power, speed, coordination, accuracy, and balance. If all that’s consistent, then build in weight.

PARTNER METCON

60-40-20 Reps For Time of:
Alternating Dumbbell Snatches (50/35/20#)
Single Arm Dumbbell Thrusters
Calorie Row

Notes
Intent < 20 min

Partners accumulate the rep counts listed as a team for each movement before moving on to the next. Round 1 is 30 reps per person, per movement. Divide the work into small sets as desired.

Example:

Partner A 10 alternating snatches
Partner B 10 alternating snatches
x 3 sets = 30 each, 60 total

Partner A 5 SA DB Thrusters – L
Partner B 5 SA DB Thrusters – L

Partner A 5 SA DB Thrusters – R
Partner B 5 SA DB Thrusters – R
x 3 sets = 30 each partner (15 each arm!), 60 total reps as a team

And so on…
Once the round of 60 is complete, athletes complete 40 reps of everything (20 each partner), and then finish with the round of 20.

Scale the load of the DB today such that you can complete at least 10 snatches and 5 SA DB thrusters at a time.

If the 60 calorie row is tracking to take your team longer than 5 minutes, consider scaling the reps back slightly (54-36-18).

STRENGTH

Strict Ring Muscle Ups
4-6 sets x 1-3 Reps

Notes
After spending the first four weeks of the cycle exploring false grip pull ups, supports/holds, and dips on the rings, today we’ll have an opportunity to potentially put it together.

Athletes who are proficient with dips and a “rings-to-chest” false grip pull up are good candidates to attempt a muscle up with or without assistance today! If you’re still working on the foundations of false grip strength, overall pulling strength, and ring dips, then you’ll get more training benefit out of spending time with one of the other scaling options.

Scaling:
A. Partner/Coach Assisted RMU
B. 3 Ring Turnover Drill + 3-5 Dips*
C. 3 False Grip Ring Pull Ups + 3-5 Dips
D. 3 Foot Assisted Ring Pull Up + 3-5 Dips
*All dips are on a 2011 tempo. They can be done on the rings, matador, or parallettes!

METCON

3 Intervals of 2:30 On / 2:30 Off:
20 Bench Press (95/65/45#)
20 Goblet Squat (24/16/12kg)
Max Row for Meters in remaining time

Notes
Choose weights that you can complete both movements unbroken for all three sets. Bench Press, suggeseted ~35-45% of 1RM. You should have several reps in the tank on your first round!

Start at about an 80-85% aerobic effort on the row — working hard, but not red-lining — and aim to beat your meters rowed on each subsequent interval. Use what you learned in the previous cycle about your row pacing to guide you. Throw the kitchen sink at it in your final round.

Their dedication shines through in their active participation at events and the positive energy they bring to our gym.

And then there’s Banksy! Much like Prince, Banksy possesses a delightful duality in his personality. Whether he’s sweet enough to make you pancakes or giving you that classic side-eye, he has a unique way of winning hearts all around.

B: Woof!?

Ask me about that time I (or we)….

L/P: Met on the street on our first day of law school… or chased Banksy through 500 acres of wilderness.

What are you recommending right now?
