JacintoStorm 2009
The Storm will kick off at 11am tomorrow.  We're going to run it like one large class and have it spill over the 12pm class.  There will be no Teaser or 10am class so that we can set up the space and focus our attention on Jacinto's Birthday WOD.  Try to get there at 11 for the group warm-up and heat assignments, if you get there a little late please warm-up on your own and see us about placement. It's going to be a great day!

SBK on the Farm
As many of you know, there's been talk of a trip to Grazin' Angus Acres in Ghent, New York. Farmer Dan at Grazin' Angus is excited to have the help and has offered us a chance to pitch some tents, work the farm and then send us over to his neighbor Farmer Dante at Milk Thistle Farm. It doesn't get more functional than farming, and just think of all that beef and milk…

Dan is at the NYC markets over the weekend, so ideally we should go up during the week: perhaps a Wednesday – Saturday. If that's not possible, we can make it a weekend only trip, but Dan and Dante will not be around to host us.

If you are interested in this trip, please email Margie(AT)crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com about your availability either July 29-August 2, or August 12-16.

Dont' forget that this Saturday is JacIntoStorm '09, to celebrate Jacinto's 70th birthday.
Check out this post for some pictures from last year's storm.  We will be doing the same workout with the exception that one rep will be added to each movement.  Jacinto will be hosting a BBQ at his house afterwards. More details to follow.

MEBBBK: Max Effort Black Box (Brooklyn!)
Today is the last day of our Mid Hang Power Clean, High Bar Back Squat and Bench Press strength cycle.  We're going to encourage a back off week from tomorrow until 7/4 when we'll kick things off with a STORM. 

The next cycle's movements are:
Total Body: Push Jerks
Lower Body: Front Squats
Upper Body: Weighted Chin-Ups (Overhand). 

For those of you unfamiliar with the MEBB, we choose three movements and cycle them through a descending rep scheme over four weeks. The Max Effort days have been posted in the CFSBK Calendar if you'd like to see how it breaks down through July. Much thanks to Coach Michael Rutherford for developing the MEBB. program.

Notes:
Jerks are following a 5×3, 5×3, 5×1 rep scheme
Foundations Graduates will be doing strict Presses instead of Jerks and follwing a 5×5 rep scheme throughout the entire cycle.

Happy Travels, Margie. We'll see you after the Games!

3 one-arm kb cleans to 3 kb jerks to 3 overhead squats (right/left)
etc…

You don't put the bell down at all – any rest is going to be done in the rack and overhead positions. This complex is a variation of the clean and squat combo that Dan John introduced in the thread Kbell Dbl Clean to Dbl Front Squat.
