Rest Day

Posted on

With a "100% chance" of rain after 6pm and us not being in the Lyceum this evening, we're going to have to Cancel Classes Tonight.  The Management (David) apologizes for the inconvenience.  If you talk to anyone else from class, please spread the word.

CrossFit Virtuosity and Brooklyn Boulders offer additional opportunities for training.  Members might also consider checking out the Russian Turkish Baths for some therapeutic Hot Saunas and Cold Plunges.

Post plans to comments.

  4. Although it would be totally in character for me to show up at the wrong time for class, completely by virtue of my own error, I feel compelled to point out the fact that on the events calendar does *indeed* say 7:30 am. Just sayin’. I’m not right very often.

    That said, I did do this:

    30 kettleball swings (What was the weight of the big black one again? 20kg? Because, really, that sounds way to heavy).500 m row

    x3

    4:11.89 (I forgot to hit stop the first time, so who really knows)3:45.674:02.89

    This was hard.

  5. I did the following in the rain on my knee’s with my shirt off and an angry face on,ehh emm (clearing the throat)

    “NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO DAMM YOU RAIN DAMM YOU!!!!!”

  7. I am secretely happy for the rain. With too much work, too little sleep and a damn cold, I’m really looking forward to a rest day. Chris and I will most likely be doing laundry and cleaning the apartment for time.

    But a 5pm class on Friday would be nice…

  9. Jess is not very good at keeping secrets. I tell her, first rule is “don’t post your secret on the Internet”.

    No rainy day WOD? I think everyone should take the evening to work as hard in their kitchens as they do at SBK. Cook a nice meal.

  11. dan – Y is on atlantic ave @ court street. i take it you aren’t a member? i wish i had all my stuff unpacked, i have some free passes somewhere! maybe we can weasel you in for a trial??

    dmg – maybe 6?

  12. My plan for tonight is to put Linus to bed at 7pm, followed shortly by myself. 7am class today was TOUGH after a relatively wakeful night with the young master.

    I did the thruster workout:

    5 rounds 12 pullups (white band), 6 thrusters (80 lbs)11:52.

    I kind of wussed out on the thrusters–Dave, thanks for encouraging me to go to 80# and pushing me through the last set. I shoulda done all 5 sets unbroken. I fear thrusters.

    Pullups felt not bad w/ the white band–hope to move to unassisted soon!

  14. I did the pullups/thrusters WOD scaled to 85lbs and with the green band. My time was crap – over 17 minutes. I was feeling mighty weak and slow today, in spite of Cloyde and Richie’s verbal encrouagement. Thanks guys!

    BUT, it was nice to be doing some vertical pulling and pressing again after backing off for bit due to tweaky shoulder.

    I really need to learn how to kip.

  16. @Stephanie P — no, not a member. I didn’t even know there was a Y around there. I should be able to get there by 6 though! Will be in touch via text shortly.

  17. had to hit the early class since i napped a little too long yesterday.

    WOD: PUSH PRESS 5X3

    45*7 (warmup) 75*5, 85*5, 95*5, 105*1, 95*5, 95*5, 95*5

    i suck at pressing, need to work on this a lot. I’ll get you next time press.

    WOD: DEAD-LIFT: 5X3

    185*5 (warm-up) 205*3, 225*3, 245*3, 255*3, 265*F

    for some reason that 265 wouldn’t move even though I’ve pulled it before. maybe it was lack of breakfast. anyway, i called it a day after three attempts. form felt good throughout so I’m pretty happy.

    BTW, Chris were you serious about the beard growing contest? I’m done to get my grizzly adams on.

  19. OK. 6pm at the Dodge Y

    Atlantic Ave at Court Street. $10 day pass if you aren’t a member. (thanks for calling Dan!)

    Going to tackle yesterday’s WOD hopefully, based on equipment available.

  20. Main Site inspired WOD @ GloboGym-Annoying not having chalk. Scaled to 115#.5 rds for time:mid hang clean 15 reps30 push-ups25:35

  21. One more thing about my wife’s superfun new cooking school:

    In addition to the classes that are already scheduled, my wife would love to hear any suggestions that CFSBK folks might have for future class topics. E-mail her at theoakridgekitchenATgmail.com with your ideas to see if she can design a special class for you and your like-minded buddies.

  22. Went to the gym on the army post – very Globo Gym like but it works.

    I did a 5×5 deadlift since I’ve been missing those:155×5, 205×5, 255×5, 275×5, 285x5Don’t know if I can actually count the 285 as 5 reps, I did 2 stepped away for a count, did another 2 then 1. Man that felt heavy.Also did 50 Knees to elbows in sets of 10Double under practice for about 10 minutes -started out stringing together between 14-17 (with a couple of 5’s sprinkled in) finished stringing together between 20-24 with a PR of 27.

  23. Went to Slope Fitness. Waaah. Did 8 x 250m with 2′ rest on the erg. Kept splits under 1:30/500m.

    I got asked to race at the Head of the Charles, to replace someone who got injured! Our row to the start will be our training. I’ll be in the Men’s Championship Double this Saturday (event #25), starting at 3:47, in boat #6. The regatta website is http://www.hocr.org//home/default.asp. It’s a three-mile race on the Charles River. It’s going to be a sh*t show! But fun.

  27. nice one nick, best of luck.

    did the 30 min rowing workout (wu 10min, 10min 12-16 spm, cd 10 min) with bjorn at the dodge y tonight.

    good stuff. stayed in the 12-14 spm range and managed to hover around the 2min mark.

    those ergs at the y need some wd40 and tlc!!

  29. DMG — must have just missed you at the Y. Steph and I left around 7ish.

    Agreed that the ergs at the Y suck. Actually, my experience at the Y sucked in general. I want, I need, my CrossFix! 😉

  32. good luck nick! its going to be a cold one but the Head of the Charles is such a great event!

    dan and i went to the Dodge Y and had quite the experience. did wednesday’s wod at 75/115# MHPC, pushups and box jumps (on an aerobesizer step thing) and almost got ourselves kicked out. dan apparently was my “trainer” (i think the all black outfit didn’t help), our box jumps were disrupting the yoga class next door and people were definitely staring. my first real cf wod experience at the Y and prob my last. apparently counting reps for someone is considered “training” them…

    me:R1: 2 rounds, 8 cleans, 6 pushupsR2: 2 rounds evenR3: 1 round, 8 cleans, 10 pushups, 6 box jumps

    dan:R1: 4 rounds, 4 cleansR2: 2 rounds evenR3: 2 rounds even

    (I think that is right for R2 dan – i don’t have my book in front of me)

    it was a fun wod, would like to try it again in a more supportive atmosphere.

    accessory work: ice cream and coffee then zog volleyball w/ my work team. we won!
