Metronome Push-ups

Congratulations to all the PRs on yesterday's belated CrossFit Total. Thanks again to Coaches Jeremy and Margie for staying late to run it.

Tomorrow at 1pm is the first meeting for our Primal Quest Nutrition Challenge.  We'll be meeting in the Lyceum cafe to discuss the rules of engagement.

Sunday at 1pm is our big move to Degraw Street! We'll need as many hands on deck as we can get. Please email David(AT)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you can help out and if you've got a vehicle we can use. Also, any thoughts on where we should go to eat afterwards?

and don't forget…

(E4/4) L1 5×3 Sets Across/L2 Max Effort

In order to accommodate for the final workout on Sunday, we're Deadlifting today.  If you pulled on Monday and at the previous Total, don't attempt another max. You've already gotten a recent heavy single so pull a 5×3 with moderate weight and perfect technique.

Conditioning
Row 2-3 five minute pieces on the Erg.  Your goal is to maintain a consistent split and stroke rating as accurately as you can for the entire piece. This emphasis here is not intensity, it's about control and technique. Choose a low stroke rating (18, 20 or 22) and drop :10-:15 each attempt. Coach Nick can help advice on choosing your split. Rest approximately 5 minutes between attempts.

Push-Ups

PRIMAL QUEST
Because we're going to be moving equipment out of the lyceum on Sunday, January 10th, the first meeting for the Primal Quest has been moved back one day to Saturday, January 9th at 1pm. We will be meeting in the Cafe of the Lyceum (no gloves required).  Please RSVP to Margie(AT)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you plan on attending.

Anyone who's expressed interest in helping with the move on Sunday, the Lyceum asked us to move the big stuff after 3pm so we're not disrupting Cafe hours too much. 

Anyone who ordered Jump ropes should pick up their rope. They will be located in a large box by the pull-up bar with a clipboard listing everyone's order details.  After taking your rope, please cross your name off and put the money into the envelope.

5 Rounds for max reps of:
Push-ups
Pull-ups

There  is no time component to this WOD.
Have
you ever tried "Lynne" with strict pull-ups?  How about ring push-ups 
or dips instead of push-ups?

Post reps per round and style to comments.

Shree warms up on the Erg

Today's classes are at 10am, 11am and 12pm

The CRASH B's are fast approaching.  Remember that Coach Nick has provided supplemental Erg workouts to help build capacity on the rower. Check them out here.

Our last day at the Brooklyn Lyceum is Sunday, January 10th.  Our Degraw Street location is near completion and awaiting its final inspection.  If all goes well, we are expected to be in our new home mid January.  A worst case scenario would put us reopening on February 1st after a 20 day black out period. Should that occur, we'll freeze everyone's accounts and provide at home workouts and some opportunities for everyone to get together and train.  Thank you so much to all our members for their patience during this transition.  We're all very excited to offer a significant upgrade in our program once we get into our new space. 

Our last day is Sunday the 10th.  Would anyone be available to help move equipment over that afternoon/evening???
