was made popular by coach Mike Rutherford. If you are able to complete
all the rounds,  first start scaling up until you can do the weight as
rx'd, then begin to add one rep to the circuit.  7 reps of the complex
for 20 rounds as rx'd is the gold standard.

CrossFit 101 with Greg Glassman
Our CrossFit 101 with co-hosts CF Virtuosity is this Saturday.  We initially opened registration to members of our community who serve in the armed forces, law enforcement and fire fighting and now we're opening it up to all of South Brooklyn. The CF 101 is a FREE lecture, Q&A and social with CrossFit founder, Greg Glassman. If you'd like to attend, please read this press release and contact Jessica Allan at jessica(at)crossfitvirtuosity.com.  These seminars are great for people who are either new to CrossFit or have friends and family who might want to know more about this crazy fitness thing you're into.  We'd really like to get lots of non-CrossFitters involved so if you have someone in mind, please confirm it with them and include their name on the RSVP. We will send out email confirmations on Thursday for everyone attending.
Any additional questions may be sent to David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com or posted to comments.
