Laurel and Cloyde get some Foam Roller love

At 5:30pm on Friday we're going to meet to set up the gym for Fight Gone Bad.  If you're available to lend a hand please let me know in the comments section.  We'll need to move some mats, set up the equipment and make sure things are ready to go for Saturday. I don't predict it taking longer than about an hour.

We also could use some other general volunteers for FGB on Saturday to help run scores and register all the athletes.  Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com
So far we've got Paul C, Brandy M and Malcolm S helping out. Who else is in???

  1. If anyone is interested in a little rest day rock climbing fun, Regan and I will be at Brooklyn Boulders tonight around 6:30/7pm. Love to have some climbing buddies

  4. Dave, you can count on me to help you set up the gym for the “fight”.Shane my truck is in the shop today but if i can get it back before close of business today i will see you at the boulders tonight.Feel better Dave.

  9. this morning’s thingydoothing was SOOOO HARD AHMAHGAH! finished it in 13:50 with a lot of swearing in my head. i forgot to breathe during the first row and it destroyed everything else.

    btw, i thought of something it’d be great to have at the new space: http://thegrandnarrative.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/old-fat-jiggling-machine.jpg

    hope everyone has a good fight gone bad! we’re going back to half of my roots — the commonwealth of virginia!

  13. oh yeah & i can help out on saturday. friday i wouldn’t be able to make it until like 6:30pm which is most likely when you’re finished.

  17. I actually AM a fat jiggling machine!

    Asta, I got belay certified so I’m up for tackling some route walls. whoo hoo!

    Hope malcolm’s tooth is feeling better

  21. To answer Shane’s question, my tooth is feeling better. No pain killers today. About the only thing that hurts now exertion. Any rise in blood pressure seems to be matched to an equal rise in pain.

    I will definitely be back in the gym tomorrow, I may or may not be doing anything.

  23. I taught some high school students to back squat today. I’ve definitely learned some things from David, Shane and Jeremy that have made me a better teacher of the movement. I’m not quite sure which drills and cues I’ve learned from you guys, and which I used before, but it was most successful squat introduction I’ve given. Most of them ended up doing some good looking squats. Not a bad start for a group of adolescent recent immigrants and refugees, some of whom speak no English, none of whom have ever had a bar on their shoulders. Of course there is always the one kid with zero body awareness who is emotionally incapable of accepting the slightest correction. And this is always the same kid whose big brother told him to drink muscle milk and wants to know why we aren’t using the curl bar.

    Afterward:

    Back Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1

    255,275,285,295,305pr,310f,310f

    The first try at 310 was very, very close. Next time for sure.

    Then SDHP 75# 2 sets of 20, 8 sets of 10 focusing on maintaining hip explosiveness and a straight bar path.

  24. Also, I’ve been wanting to join in the Tuesday night Brooklyn Boulders fun since its inception, but have been foiled by an improbable string of unrelated responsibilities. Next week I hope.

  28. I’m hoping to go again next Tuesday Ben and looking forward to having you join us one of these times.

    “An improbable string of unrelated responsibilities” there is definitely a novel in there my friend.
