Have a safe and happy holiday season, everyone!
CFSBK beyond The Lyceum
Learning a new activity or sport is at the top of the Crossfit pyramid. It challenges your body and mind in unexpected ways, preventing you from stagnating as an athlete. As CrossFitters, we are already fans of variability and functionality in our workouts, so let's take that interest beyond the walls of the Lyceum and play with skill-based, real world activities.
Brian Scott has offered to lead us in a series of monthly SBK Fieldtrips to mix things up and get our bodies and brains moving in new ways. We've generated a great list of activities, including kayaking, horseback riding, bouldering, kickball, cross-country skiing and more.
For our inaugural event, we are going ice skating!
When: Friday, January 2, 6-9pm
Where: Wollman Rink, Prospect Park http://www.prospectpark.org/ice_skating
Cost: $5 for skating; $6.50 for Skate rental.
If you have activities to propose, or lead us in, please feel free to suggest them Brian and/or Margie.
Save the Date
On January 31st we'd like to have a party celebrating one year at the Lyceum and the community that has developed around SBK. Everyone who has ever trained with us is welcome to join in on the food, drinks, music and Hooverball!!
Merry Christmas everyone! Check out the main site!
Yeah, awesome video on the main site! Have a good holiday everyone!
Have a great day everyone. We look forward to getting back into town, back to sane work schedules and back into the Lyceum. I am sure we are not the only ones who traveled to places where Functional Fitness came in handy at one end of a snow shovel. Safe journeys home.Don and Melissa
nice vid on the main site the other day! i’m dizzy just watching that.
The field trips sound awesome. great idea!
Went to the Y to do Jeremy’s favorite…
Five rounds for time of:275 pound Deadlift, 5 reps10 Burpees
finished the first round in 54 seconds and thought I was going to easily break 10 minutes. Ended up finishing in 10:54. I hit a serious wall and my form really fell apart. Plus the Y is no place to do a wod.
Then, although feeling rather nauseous, did I 500m row in 1:48, 8 second slower then at the challenge, and this time I didn’t fall off the seat.
Also, on xmas eve I did the back squats:155×5, 175×5, 185×5, 195×5, 205×5
I’d love to try some bouldering. I think we can try the place below, although I’ve never been there. I’d also, be willing to drive somewhere as well, have a car that fits 4.

Cynthia in San Diego
Worked out at Crossfit the Rock out on LI. We did Lynne.BW Bench (170)/Pull-upsR1 25/42R2 17/25R3 16/26R4 10/22R5 6/20
Tore my hands up pretty bad on round 2. The bench felt harder than the last time I did this, and the pull-ups were a pain the ass as my hands got worse and worse. But the 42 pull-ups the first round is a new PR for me, so it makes all the other crap worth it.
I think the powerplay center is just for kids. I’m not sure. I want to go ice climbing! Who is up for a trip ice climbing in the gunks? I think it will be expensive though. I suppose we need to wait for more snow or something too.
today, in my parents’ basement:
15 rounds7 medball cleans (12lb)7 pushups
14:00 or so.
