Testimonials:

 “My son recently started CrossFit Kids and loves it. He’s played sports and gotten a lot from his experiences, but on the way home from CrossFit the other day he was so pumped and proud of himself. He felt strong and powerful, and he couldn’t stop talking about what he did. I’m so excited that he has the opportunity to get stronger mentally and physically at CF kids.”

–Adele M.

“My kids loved CrossFit Kids yesterday! I got an earful when I got home from all three at once trying to explain what they did. Then I had to feel their muscles. David and Janelle wore them out pretty well because at around 7pm they asked if it was okay to skip bath and book and go right to sleep.”

–Matt C.

Open Workout 16.4

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 13 minutes of:
55 Deadlifts 225/155
55 Wall-Ball Shots 20/14lbs, 10/9′
55-Calorie Row
55 Handstand Push-Ups

Prior to starting this workout each athlete will need to stand against the wall and measure and mark their foot line for the handstand push-ups (details in Movement Standards section). This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 55 Deadlifts, then move to the wall and complete 55 Wall-Ball shots, then to the rower to pull 55 calories, then back to the wall for Handstand Push-Ups. If 55 Handstand Push-Ups are completed, the athlete will move back to the barbell and begin another round.

Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 13-minute time cap.

The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of the row, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed the 55-calorie row. In the case where two athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended you set your clock to count up.

V for Victory in Open Workout 16.4!

Strategy Tips for 16.4

By David Osorio

The Deadlifts
The priority when pulling Deadlifts is to make intelligent descions and keep yourself safe. With a high volume set like this, you’re going to have to manage both the load and accumulated fatigue. In my opinion, if you can’t do sets of 8-10 unbroken reps with perfect technique, then you have no business attempting the Rx’d loads. A 1RM of at least around 275/185 should be considered a buy-in. You don’t need to be able to Deadlift a massive amount of weight, but you do need to be able to maintain good positions and be confident that you can get through all 55 Deadlifts by, at most, the halfway point in the workout.

Whichever load you choose, most folks will be breaking this into 5-8 sets with short breaks in between. The limiting factor in this is primarily your ability to maintain a neutral spine, so keep your sets submaximal by dropping the bar with 2-5 reps reps still left in the tank.

Wall Balls
This will vary depending on your capacity. If you hate wall balls as much as I do, I recommend a descending rep scheme broken up into 4-6 sets. 15-15-10-10-5 and 12-12-10-10-6-5 are two examples. You want something that will allow you to pick the ball back up within 15 seconds of finishing a set.

Rowing
Most of us are not accusstomed to pacing with calories, so you might be a little unfamiliar with how your cals per hour translates to your usual 500m splits. Below is a helpful chart from American Oarsmen and a great blog post about the rowing portion, which help you out more than I can. Check it out and determine a range you want to stay in during the row, regulating as you see fit. If you don’t have Handstand Push-Ups and the row will be the end of your workout, thengo out in a blaze of glory and focus on your tie break time. Otherwise finish strong and move on to the last segment of the chipper.

Handstand Push-Ups
You’re not going to be feeling great at this point, but take a moment to get yourself organized as you kick up, and descend into your first reps. The downward phase of your HSPU needs to be under control. Never drop down onto your head and always maintain active support through your arms. Most, if not all, people are going to opt for a kipping HSPU. If you’re not super comfortable organizing these, take your time with them and move with intention and control (i.e., slower). Like the Deadlifts, keep the sets here submaximal and clean. Avoid failuire and pace it out based on how much time you’ve got left and how strong your HSPUs are. Make sure you use a softer surface of some kind for your head like a GoMat or AbMat with bumpers for your hands. Finally, at the top reach through your heels to make sure you get every rep. If you’re getting no-repped, then slow down and adjust your positions to acheive successful reps.

CFSBK Open Intramural Team Rankings: Week 3

Holy cow, sports fans, what a week it was in the CFSBK Open Intramural Team Competition! Let’s start at the back of the pack, where It’s My Open and I’ll WOD If I Want To turned in their strongest performance of the season to pull into a virtual tie with Blue Steel. “We’re not afraid of [Blue Steel captain] Andrew Shay‘s threats,” said It’s My Open team member Steph Mulder during Tuesday’s press conference. “I live with him and can stick his hand in some cold water while he sleeps if I have to,” she added.

Amid escalating tensions, there was a positive story this week: every team either improved their overall average and/or put up their strongest score of the season. The Sore Winners dropped their overall average to 30 points. All Castro Oiled Up tied for this week’s second best score, solidifying their position in the top 3 and finally living up to the image that their team name evokes (an oiled-up former Navy SEAL). And isn’t that what the Intramural Team Competition is all about? The heartwarming stories?

No. It’s about (figurative) bloodshed and winning, so here’s the story you all came here for. After the Little Lebowski’s Urban Achievers’ effort to knock top dogs Your Pace or Mine? out of first place last week, Your Pace responded with a resounding “this aggression will not stand, man” by racking up their best score (19) of the competition. But the Urban Achievers came thundering back with a “that’s just, like, your opinion, man” and a staggering score of 15 points. As we head into the last two Open Workouts, Your Pace and the Urban Achievers are tied for 1st place with an overall average of 21 points.

Current Ranking – Team – Overall Average (Week 3 Points)

1. Your Pace or Mine?: 21 (19)

1. The Little Lebowski Urban Achievers: 21 (15)

3. All Castro Oiled Up: 25 (19)

4. Sore Winners: 30 (29)

5. Blue Steel: 31 (29)

5. It’s My Open and I’ll WOD If I Want To: 31 (28)

Better Know a Member: Frank Howell

Welcome back to a newish feature on the CFSBK blog, Better Know a Member! (The name is a play on an old Stephen Colbert segment, Better Know a District.) You all love Underneath the Hoodie and Behind the Desk, and now, in a similar vein, we’ll be profiling members from across the CFSBK community. In our previous installment, we introduced you to Maya O. Today it’s time to meet Frank H.!

Where were you born and where did you grow up? Born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit. All my family are still there, so I go back pretty often. I have a lot of pride in being from Detroit and think it’s an amazing city if you know how to tap into it. I sometimes flirt with moving back, but then reality sets back in and I remember that Brooklyn is home now.   

How long have you been CrossFitting, and how did you arrive at CFSBK? I think I’ve been coming to CFSBK for about three years or so now. The world of lifting weights was pretty foreign to me before coming here. I’m a runner who never really thought about lifting heavy shit, but as 40 approached I thought it would be an interesting way to help improve my running and try something new. I don’t remember how I heard about CFSBK specifically, but I live on Degraw, just the other side of the canal, so proximity surely had a part in my coming here. The awesome coaches who took time to help a complete novice learn the ropes kept me coming back.    

What are you up to when you’re not at 597 Degraw Street? Work wise, I’m in Human Resources in the financial services industry. Yes, I’ve fired a lot of people (but I promise most of them deserved it!), but I also know the right things to say to get you more money if you’ve been laid off, or if you’re interviewing for a new job and negotiating salary. Outside of work I’m a total foodie, cocktail drinker, and traveler. My big trip this year is two weeks in Iran in early May.    

What’s the first movie you ever loved? I can’t really remember, but as a child of the 70s, I assume it was ET or Star Wars. However, the movie that I’ve loved the longest has to be Auntie Mame (the Roselyn Russell version, obvi). It’s a bit of a cliché for a gay man my age, but it’s fabulous. It’s all about living life to the fullest.   

You have friends or family coming to visit from out of town. What do you take them to do in NYC? I tell them to go to any of the touristy stuff without me. I’ve thankfully lived here long enough where most of my non-NYC family and friends have been here and already seen the Empire State Building or the Statue of Liberty. If they want to see it again, they are on their own. My preference would be to take them for a bike ride to Coney Island, a trip to the Brooklyn Flea, or for drinks in Red Hook.

Favorite and least favorite lift: Least fave is the Snatch. Its just got so many little pieces to it that I struggle to get organized. I would say that my fave lift is the Low Bar Back Squat, but given the hybrid version I do, lets just leave it at Back Squat.

Any advice for new CFSBKers? Talk to people when you’re lifting! Everyone is pretty cool and it adds to the sense of community when you’re at the gym. Oh, and put your shit away when you’re done using it, nobody likes a sloppy gym!

Reflections on My 16.3

By David Osorio

Score: 86 reps
Tie Break: 6:18

I was probably least looking forward to this workout relative to the other two that have been released so far. While I knew that the Bar Muscle-Ups wouldn’t be a problem, I’m not great with light-weight, high-rep workouts because I tend to burn out really quickly. I also had a less concrete strategy going into this one, whereas with 16.1 and 16.2, I had a very clear idea of what I needed to do to get the score I wanted.

My loose plan for 16.3 was to start unbroken at a steady clip and then just react to whatever happened over ther course of the workout. I knew I had to do all the Muscle-Ups unbroken regardless of how far I got, because it would help me out when I had to start breaking up the Snatches. For the Snatches, my plan was to do 6-4 when I needed to start breaking them so the second set wouldn’t feel so bad.

Overall, I’m satisfied with how I did. Looking back over the video, if this came up again, I would really have to speed up my transitions between movements. I was way too casual about getting to either bar. I also would have attempted to make the last 3 minutes more uncomfortable that I allowed them to get. If you’ve got the Muscle-Ups, this workout should feel like a lightweight “Fran” towards the end. I didn’t mentally prep enough for going into that pain cave, which I think was the difference between my score and breaking 7 rounds.

Thanks to everyone who stuck around to cheer on Charlie, Jess, and myself. Thanks to KHarpz for being my judge and Bryan B. whose voice (the one you hear in the background) helped keep me on task when I wanted to rest. No thanks to the barbell for slipping out of my hands in that last round!
