Congrats to all CFSBKers who competed in the Starting Strength Fall Classic yesterday at CrossFit Gantry. They CRUSHED it.
Here are some numbers from our strong folks:
- Charlie N. WON Best Female Lifter, with a squat of 270#, press of 92.5#, and deadlift of 335# (which was also a personal PR).
- Nicole A. WON Best Female Lifter in the Masters division!
- Bethany E. hit a lifetime PR on her squat at 200#, and hit her all-time deadlift PR at 250# (which is two times her bodyweight!).
- Cam C. hit 210# on her squat, 85# on press, and 245# on her deadlift, all PRs!
- Rob U. hit a deadlift PR of 420# and squat PR of 360#!
If you competed yesterday and we didn’t get your numbers yet, please tell us how it went (even if it didn’t go according to plan)! And anytime you compete in anything athletic or CrossFit-related, please take photos and tell us how it went by posting in the comments or emailing Managing Editor, Kate R., at Katharine [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com. <3
Join Jacyln K. For Yoga at the New Time of 9am on THURSDAYS!
Jaclyn has always had a love for fitness and overall health. She started practicing yoga as her source of recovery both physically and mentally. Her love for yoga drove her to get her first certification in 2007. Since, she has been teaching both Bikram and Vinyasa in the tri-state area. With her extensive study in many lineages of yoga, Jaclyn takes aspects from each creating a flow both challenging and accessible for everyone.
For Jaclyn, CrossFit and yoga are a brilliant team. She uses her yoga practice not only for added mobility but for strength, focus, and breath work as well. When Jaclyn works with athletes, she will gear her class around these principles while still keeping things light and fun in the same spirit that a CrossFit class has. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or brand new to a yoga mat, Jaclyn will offer plenty of options so everyone feels challenged yet still comfortable in this Vinyasa flow class.
