  2. Star Trek

    Thursday May 7, midnight show. Cobble Hill Cinemas, 265 Court St.

    A few of us are going. Let me know if anyone else is interested and I’ll order tickets as soon as they’re available, i’m hoping tomorrow.

  6. I posted a comment on the site that the info for CrossFit SBK is incorrect and have included the correct info.

    The link for reporting an error appears to be broken. Perhaps someone who has IE can try? All I have handy is Firefox and Safari. No love there.

  7. Went up against Elizabeth in the early morning. Full squat cleans@135lbs and no kipped ring dips.

    13:00

    I’m getting slower… Prior attempt was on January 29, 2009 and was 12:01. Of course, I had Charmel next to me for that one.

    And before that, I finished this sub 10. Mildly frustrating.

    Regardless, my cleans felt stronger and the form/technique seemed solid.

    Burnt out on ring dips (no kipping) going for 11/10 first round where I did 7/7/7 last time.

    Will bring the intensity next time…

  9. Bjorn,A dot pattern is a foot speed agility pattern using “dots” as markers. You will count patterns completed in :20.

    Per yesterdays question:Isometic strength training will favor Myofibrillar Hypertrophy since the adaptation is task dependent. In isometrics you generally have to sustain a large amount of tension for shorter lengths of time. (see lever link)This is different, however, from postural muscles, which maintain lower tension isometric contractions for long periods of time to keep us upright. In this case, either kind of hypertrophy is negligible for obvious reasons.

  11. Report an error is broken across all browsers, so I tracked down the managing editor for the website. Thing went to print already and hits newsstands today. But they are fixing it on the website at least so you should expect it to be correct in the next 15 minutes. Now shall we change the workout to TimeOut New York grabs for time?

  12. Hi CFSBK!

    Congrats on your mention in Time Out NY. I’m glad they fixed the error (at least on the website.)

    I particularly enjoyed the links on the right side of the page “Care for your lady parts” and “Customize your crotch” baaahaahaa!

    Maybe have it trimmed into the shape of a barbell with the CFSBK logo in crystals above it?

    getting closer, Time Out.

    Thanks for doing the leg work on the correction, Jenna.

    Cynthia!What can I really say in response to that? … nice to see you back on the blog. 🙂

  18. Nevermind… i see you have crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com

    well the good news is that its a link and no one reads links, just clicks em. the other one in print… well… at least you can’t click it!

  19. Thanks for linking up our CFE running seminar. Just signed up one of your members for it and we’re already almost half-way full (we’re capping it at 20 people max). For anyone who wants to improve their running and learn POSE, I’d highly recommend it. The teaching will be top-notch, I promise.

    And in re:Time Out NY, I am so NOT surprised at their mistakes, but ANY press is good press for all of us, so congrats to us! : )

  26. Update on the Team Affiliate Cup:

    Registration for the Affiliate Cup will open at 0600 PDT on Monday, May 11th. It will be open until 1800 PDT on Friday, May 22nd, or when the event is sold out, whichever comes first.

    You do not have to have your final athletes determined at this point. You just need to register the team.

    Decided to scale up:Dot Drills with 180 rotation at the top and bottom positions (alternating direction to compensate for dizzy factor).

    Added a 4th round of tabata C2B pullups just for the hell of it.

    Had a few jump rope malfunctions. Need to just buy my own.

    Grip was shot after the doubleunders and the kettlebell. Made C2B pullups so much harder.

    Felt amazing doing this, and really enjoyed watching everyone rock the workout while also owning it entirely.

  28. Thanks for the Dot Drill link, Dan! So it’s kind of like Dance Dance Revolution, yes? I shudder to think what’s going to happen when I try it at the Y tomorrow…

  29. Congratulations on the TimeOut NY ink. Good ink, bad link.

    Inches from first pull up…

  30. Yeah Bjorn, it’s very much like Dance Dance revolution. If you have the pants, feel free to try “Hammer Time” with the following sequence:

    Step 1: Left foot A, Right Foot BStep 2: Left foot C, Right Foot AStep 3: Left foot A, Right Foot BStep 4: Left foot B, Right Foot CStep 4: See step 1

    Go for a full 2 minutes of “Can’t touch this!” for ultimate embarrassment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c4L4CPfQY8&feature=fvst

  31. Good ink, bak link… that’s awesome.

  36. Warm-Up: x310 Squats10 Push-Ups5 Kipping Pull-ups5 Strict Pull-upsDROMS

    I forgot my numbers at the Lyceum.

    All I remember was that my best double under was 38 and my total score was somewhere are around 315. I did box jumps instead of the Dot pattern due to my gimp ankles. Jumping off the box instead of stepping down made a Major difference. This was harrrdd but really fun. Thanks to Sal and Jason for hanging out and watching me suffer

    Ill Post the full numbers tomorrow or Saturday when I get back to the Lyceum.

  37. Wanted to do some heavy lifting today:Squat 325x2x4Press 165x2x4Deadlift 425x2x4
