Two Updates From Threes Brewing

In case you somehow missed the memo, we’re totally crushing on our neighbors over at Threes Brewing—a brewery, bar, and event space—on 333 Douglass Street. They graciously hosted us after Fight Gone Bad 2014, Iron Maidens, and the OUTWOD. They recently wrote to tell you two cool things:  

1. Their goal is to turn their backyard into an amazing green space and a symbol for responsible manufacturing. There’s a significant investment required to fully realize the vision and they’re enlisting friends and neighbors to help with a crowdsourced campaign on Kickstarter. Check it out here! 
2. They also plan on unveiling the (unfinished) yard to the public on May 3rd with a Crawfish Boil from 1-7pm, and they’d love for you to join!

Get Fit or Be Hacking Fundraising and Workout Update

 “Get Fit or Be Hacking” on May 2nd is less than a month away! Here are the top fundraising teams so far 

• Betaworks: $600
• ScriptEd: $265
• StrongTypes: $100

It’s not too late to create a team, join a team, or register to participate and fundraise individually! Remember we have both an “Rx” option for those who will compete in both the coding and WOD challenges, and a “fitness” option for those who just want to do the two WODs. We’re raising money for a great cause—CSNYC—which funds programs that bring computer science to NYC public school kids. Help kids learn to code!

We’re also excited to announce the two WODs. They are: 

Workout 1: “Python and Pull-ups”
AMRAP 15 Minutes
Run 270m
10 Burpees
10 Ring Rows or 5 Pull-Ups (** Scale Up: 10 kipping pull-ups)
20 Sit-Ups  (**Scale Up: 10 Power Cleans 135/95)

Workout 2: “Jumping Java”
AMRAP 15 Minutes

Then in the remaining time:
12 Dumbbell Push Presses (** Scale up: 12 Thrusters 95/65)
12 Box Jumps or Step-Ups
24 Double Unders or 100 Single-Unders

** Scale-up options for experienced CrossFitters looking for a more of a challenge. Scale-up options must be done at prescribed load.

Note: “Fitness” participants (I.e., those not participating in the coding portion) should plan on 35-45 minutes between workouts 1 and 2 during which they can do mobility work, cheer on other participants, and/or observe the coding challenge.

Standardized Warm-Ups: A Note From Coach Fox

As you may have noticed in classes, we’re experimenting with a few new warm-up options. There are still two versions of the Standardized Warm-Up (SWU) to choose from. If you come in one to two days a week, we recommend that you stick with one of the options and develop some strength and proficiency with those movements. If you come to class three to five days per week, we recommend you alternate between the SWUs to vary the stimulus and keep things fresh.

The new Gymnastics Warm-Ups (GWU) are for those of you who already show proficiency in the basic gymnastics skills that SWUs include (push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, squats, hollow rocks, etc.) and would benefit from some dedicated class time to work on more advanced gymnastics skills, such as inversions and muscle-ups. While some of these elements show up in cash outs and some of you practice before/after class, we’re going to see if adding them in to actual class time helps us collectively get better. 

There are two versions of the GWU: one aimed at Inversion Strength and one aimed at Ring Strength. Each has a few levels at which to practice based on where you’re at skill/strength wise. If you’re not sure where to start, ask a coach.  

You should already demonstrate proficiency in the basic skills that show up in the SWUs if you want to choose a GWU. Squats, push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, hollow rocks, etc., are the bedrock upon which solid movement can be built. Also, the SWUs can still benefit anyone! Can you ever be too good at a push-up? If you’re feeling a bit creaky or simply want to get warm and loose, then you can still opt for the SWU. 

As always, we appreciate your feedback! Love it, hate it? Let us know either in the comments section of the blog, or by emailing Coach Fox and Coach David (Christian [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com and David [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com).

Sign Up Now For the Next Cycle of CFSBK’s Olympic Lifting Program with Coach Frankie Murray

WE NEED EIGHT PEOPLE IN EACH CYCLE TO RUN THEM, which means we need five more people in both cycles. Sign up today! 

Here’s a testimonial from Social Media Strong Man Matt K.:

“Frank helped me work on all the tiny nagging issues with my snatch and clean and jerk, showing me how to overcome all the issues I’ve had for years. I look at Olympic lifting in a completely different way now, and I’ve already seen Frank’s coaching make my lift more efficient during WODs. Sign up for this class, you won’t regret it.”

And another testimonial (and mild threat) from Funny Strong Man Jay R.: 

“SIGN UP FOR THE OLYMPIC LIFTING CLASS. Personal coaching from two national-level lifters (the man can clean and jerk like 400lbs or something). You will develop a deeper understanding of all of the lifts and and be able to show off to your friends. I don’t know of anyone who did not improve after finishing a cycle. Plus you get to mock the 8:30 class. If you are on the fence DO IT–or else you will have to see more of me in gen pop for the next eight weeks . . .”

Your bar path is the fingerprint of your lift. Whether it be front, back, or overhead squats, the goal is to keep the bar balanced over the middle of your foot. A straight bar path indicates the lifter/barbell system is in balance and no extraneous effort was needed to complete the lift. Note the difference in bar path, body positions, and speed between these two reps. Follow @crossfitsouthbrooklyn on Instagram to get more of these pointers and tips!

Training Cycle Template

Our new training cycle begins TODAY. You can always find the information below in the left-hand tab under Member Resources, called Training Cycle Template.

Two changes you may notice: we will be doing another eight-week cycle, as opposed to our standard six-week cycles, and we will be phasing out Back Off Week. The rationale behind the eight-week cycle is to prolong the amount of time we have to work on particular lifts and skills. And instead of Back Off Week, which has always included novel programming post-Crush Week, we’re going to use the first week of the next new cycle as a transition week with lower volume WODs and first exposures of the lifts, which are naturally going to be lighter. This will create less down time before cycles, while still staying on track with our programming templates.

Training Cycle Dates: M 4/6 – Su 6/7
Crush Week: M 6/1 – S 6/7
Back Off/Transition Week: Will now be the first week of the following cycle, starting June 8, 2015.

Coached by Frank Murray, “participants can expect to build a strong foundation focused around proper technique, mobility, and attention to individual weak points. Building this foundation will not only help lead to higher lifts, but also set the base for continued and consistent progress. Moreover, by developing proper technique, mobility, and focusing on weak points, participants will become more confident, less prone to injury, and more consistent lifters. All of this giving you the tools for a longer, healthier, stronger career with the Olympic lifts.” —Next Level Weightlifting
