Thanks for all the great memories, Brooklyn Lyceum!
Dave, you are a cruel, cruel man. Did you cackle maniacally as you posted the WOD?
Damn. Beginning AND ending with burpees! Oh man.
Holy Shit what a way to end it.
All I know is Im gonna die tomorrow and someone else can drive my car to move stuff.
Im so out of shape…
You guys can bury me in the Lyceum.
I wanted to be the first person to post today, couple of you beat me to it.You guys had alot of sweet words to say about me this week, and on your last day under my charge, so to speak, I wanted to return the favor.Thank you for all of your friendship, your warm smiles, your encouragement and for all the many ways you have brightened my days.I began this year believing I had lost everything that was left of my family. In some way, I feel I ended it having found a new one.I am excited to be embarking on new adventures with all of you, I am elated to watch the program change and grow, but when the cage comes down and the last kettlebell has left the building, so goes with it a tiny little piece of my heart.Thank you David for making this semi spastic girl feel strong and capable. To all the Coaches, you are gifted, patient, wonderful talented people we are lucky to have every one of you.To all of my friends, who carry my milk and bring out my signs and spoil me in hugs and reach all the things my midget ass can’t get to alone.Thank You.I truly love each and every one of you and I will miss you every day.All of my Love,Regan
…ps Baby, you most of all.
David, can we break this up anyhow we want? PS I hate you.
Tam – David may overide, but I’m gonna say this… You can break up each task into as many mini sets as you need (10×5 Burpees, 5×5 Thrusters, etc…), but you must finish one task then move on to the next.
No worries, this is gonna be fun.
All exercises must be done in order.
The worst part is the last 50 burpees.
this is going to kill…… 😛
David: Yeah no [expletive]! It’s like a big crappy, rancid, stinky cherry on top.
Very sweet post Regan.
I do not fear godI do not fear deathBut I do fear my workoutIf i do not fear my workoutit is not hard enough.
Can I sub deadlifts for sticking my fingers in my ears, frowning, and stomping my feet?
If I start this workout at the beginning of the 12 noon class, I might be done in just enough time to go to work tomorrow morning.
Seriously, you’ll get the C of O for the new space before I finish this workout.
Wow.
I would really like to do this thing rx’d, which would mean pullups as singles with about a 5-10 minute break after each. You guys don’t mind waiting until tonight to move the pullup bar, right?
I’m disappointed to miss the “Brooklyn Lyceum”. I’ve missed the past week from what my doctor thinks is a torn spinal erector. I had an MRI last night and hope to find out more soon. I miss the exercise and all the cast of characters at CFSBK and hope to be back soon.

20lb dbs on the thrustersGreen band on the pullups135 on the deadlifts20″ box100 singles on the jumpropeOnly got 20 burpees at the finish before I had to go shake Pukey the Clown’s hand.32:00
I woke up this morning feeling unmotivated and unsure whether I felt up to a WOD. I took one look at this and decided “no f’n way.” Then I was like, “Dammit, it’s the last WOD in the Lyceum, I HAVE to go.” Then I thought about the last 50 burpees and went for a run in the park with my dog instead. My thirst for masochism is much higher in the evening during the work week than it is on weekend mornings.
Looking forward to the new gym.
not fun.37:10 as Rx’d
spent some time staring at a toilet waiting to meet pukie but alas he never came.
Hope the move went (is going) well.Sorry to bail (CROSSFIT PUN!!!!)
Damn, what a beautifully cruel way to say goodbye to the Lyceum! 24:25 subbing 30 burpees, DB thrusters at 20lbx2, 15 dls at 135lb and 10 at 95lb, and box jumps on the shorter box (19″?). Turning my torso hurts soooo much, should make ballet interesting on Tuesday. 😛
19:30 rx’d.
regarding the workout; huge thanks go out to Eric for keeping me on pace, and to Mike for driving me forward and bringing the game. with chippers like this it is difficult to keep a mental focus, a game plan, that will allow you to finish the workout in a good time. after i was finished, i was unbelievable congested and had a difficult time breathing, still as i take deep breaths right now, later in the day, my trachea feels tired.
regarding the lyceum; honestly, i won’t really miss it. the memories that i have are of the people, the workouts and the amazing performances that result as a combination of those two, not the space. i have posted it before and i will utter it again, the people that i (and we) workout with make the price of admission worthwhile. it is one thing to see times and loads posted on a website and another to see someone, near you, perform those tasks. in many ways, it is not the heavy weight or the speed that inspire me, certainly the analogy of here is a man (or woman) doing the WOD but faster or heavier puts an immediacy and realness in front of me, but the struggle, the overcoming of difficulties, the learning of new skills and abilities creates an atmosphere of accomplishment and success. and i do not think that we will lose that in the new space. if anything the effort that people put into the move, and the final workout, and the energy given out to both tasks, is just an indication of future accomplishments and greatness.

I intended to do 225# but Shane and Fox agreed that was a bad idea)50 double unders25 pull-ups. I miss you, kip, come back!50 burpees30:16. The time wasn’t as bad as I feared, but the scaling sort of makes my pre-opinions irrelevant.
Great to see so many people at Sheep Station post-move!
27:29.. I like Joe’s name for it (womp womp).50 burps,25 thrusters at 15lb db’s (I didn’t see the 20s.. ugh),50 boxjumps on the 18″ box?,25 deadlifts @ 135lbs (did all in sets of 5 which felt strong),50 double unders (FINALLY GOT SOME DOUBLE UNDERS. FINALLY),25 jumping pull-ups,50 burps.
David, I admit, you are one gutsy man planning this work out and then saying “ok guys let’s pick up all this heavy shit and move it!”.
Ps: Very sweet post Regan.
Pps: Good job today everyone.
Ppss: Farewell cheese & icecream, I will miss you.
“The Brooklyn Lyceum” – 20:19
I was wrecked for 5-10 minutes after this (everyone sounded like the teacher from Charlie Brown for a bit). Those last 50 burpees made me want to cry a few times. First 25 burpees in about 30 seconds, then it got tough…All 25 rep movements in 5×5, all 50 rep moements as fast as I could muster.
Great work by many today…Bjornimal!
Until today, the most exciting SBK day I’ve had the opportunity to ba a part of was FGB ’09. Looking around at all the athletes smiling, suffering, and supporting each other surpassed that for me. Looking forward to BIG things during the coming years on Degraw street.
Love,Fox
27:16rx’d except for thrusters, 10 @ 95, 15 @ 65. bah!
a true chipper. well constructed david. thanks asta, jess, dan, deb for the push through the burpees and pullups.amazing to see everyone today attacking the “brooklyn lyceum” and then tearing down cfsbk. tremendous!
scott get better man.
21:35. this was a fun workout, and I’m glad I got out of work early enough to be part of this and the subsequent move.
I will forever proudly carry the distinction of having been the last person to finish the last workout at the Lyceum.
43:18 rx’d except for jumping pullups and special burpees in the second set. (Fall to the ground, then do the Worm until you somehow make it to your feet, jump and clap your hands. Repeat.)
Seriously, this may have been the worst one ever. Thanks to Coach Fox and you other kind folks for helping me through it. (Jenna: “Come on, don’t be a pussy.) I’m not a very nostalgic person and agree with Leo that it’s the people, not the building, so I’m hoping the magic will continue 3 blocks down. Can’t wait.
Sorry I couldn’t help with the move more and I definitely would’ve loved a drink. Another time.
bjornimal!!!!
65lb thrusters,20 inch box145lb deadliftsall calisthenics as rx’d.
28:12 (so it was 34:12, but I get to cut off six minutes for being in the 2nd heat right? – Jess this is correct isn’t it?)
Came in feeling funky – still have a lingering cold and am definitely jet lagged. Felt a bit whiney in the middle and as David said this evening, I need a higher pain tolerance. getting that should be fun… Still, after not doing any metcons for ~3 weeks, my performance wasn’t too bad. Should have gone with the 155 deadlift, but when I got there and had to add the weight, I sissied out and went for five pound plates.
accessory work: hot chocolate.
Moving stuff was EXHAUSTING, but wonderful – I’m not drunk enough to stumble up and hug you all saying “I love you guuys.” But I’m kind of feeling it. This is a great community.
the BL30:19
135# DLsa mix of step ups and box jumps on the 20″the rest RXed
made up some time on the double unders and pull ups but those burpees, man! throw in a hangover and it was not so much fun.
the fun came in when we all pulled together to move the gym and then celebrate at sheep station.
leo said it (i can’t believe i’m agreeing with leo!?!??! hehe) but this group of people is remarkable and whether we are in an old community building, a park, or a new space – the community we have will stay strong
25:19
135# thrustersjumping pull-ups
Not as bad as I was anticipating, but still pretty horrible. I think the pull-up set actually made the last set of burpees bearable. Because I can’t do pull-ups quickly, they were almost like rest.
I had a fantastic time today. I am not sad yet, because I’m still all giddy from the day and whatnot, but I’m anticipating some serious CFSBK withdrawal in the coming week+. Hurry up city hall or whomever….
TRUE BJORNIMAL!!!
BK Lyceum: 24:33
65# Thrusters, 135# DL’s, the rest as rx’ed
TOUGH way to exit!! Great WOD, David! The burpees were exhausting and the DU’s were just not there for me today…but so fun to be back working out with everyone in the cold!
I haven’t been as present as I’d like to be, but SBK is a GREAT group and I miss all of you!!!! Looking forward to checking out the new space and working out with all of you again!
P.S. Tam, way to go with the 135# thrusters!! 😉
I also want to echo Leo, when I first walked into the Lyceum last January I thought, wow what an awesome looking space. And then noticed that it was miserably cold.
I would be a touch scared that something about the community would change in the move, but I have seen that we are CrossFit South Brooklyn, whether we are on the road competing or supporting our athletes, or at a restaurant behaving in exemplar ways. Case and point, tonight after everyone moved heavy stuff for 2 hours, we got about 40 (rough estimate) people into Sheep Station for about 4 hours and racked up a bill of over 700 bucks, but when the cash was counted we had enough extra to leave an extra big tip and then buy an extra few drinks. That is just classy no matter where you put the people.
On the Brooklyn Lyceum wod, I wanted to do everything as Rx’d for this goodbye dance, even if it killed me.
So as Rx’d for me meant, 95lb thrusters (ugh), 24 inch box jumps (in honor of Katie all jump up jump down no stepping – thanks for helping me kill that weasel). And 225lb deadlifts. Also counted only successful double unders, which are still ugly as sin. I was proud of my pullups, after the first 5 I switched to the skinny bar and got my last 20 unbroken.
All that said I took 40:14.
A truly fantastic day with amazing people.
28:10 rx’d! (65lb thrusters, 20″ bj, 185lb deadlift)
Wow was that challenging but super fun. My burpees were the only thing modified as I used knees to get up. Was moving pretty good until I got to the deadlifts. Only able to get about 3 at a time.
The move was extra challenging after today’s wod, especially moving those damn mats. I’m completely exhausted but I thoroughly enjoyed spending the afternoon/evening socializing and celebrating with many sbk’ers. What a great turnout! Much love to you all and we’ll see you in the new space!
“Bjornimal”……now that’s a T shirt i’d buy..
BL27.17As rx’d except thrusters: 65#…it was awful…
and…great turnout for the move! ..though from this group i would expect nothing less..
25:07. Scaled double unders to attempts/tuck jumps and jumping pull-ups. Wish I had gutted out legit pull-ups.
Sorry I didn’t help with the move… I can only push visiting friends so far into the cult before I get funny looks. Glad it went smoothly.
The Brooklyn Lyceum:
50 burpees – most mod25 thrusters – started w/ 15 lb dumbbells then switched to 10 bc my arms were shaking so bad from the burpees…LAME!50 box jumps – 20″, all jumps!25 deadlifts – was supposed to do 85 lbs, but when I got up to the bar there was only 65 on there, so i did that. whoops.50 double under attempts – made about 2025 jumping pull ups50 mod burpees
Whew…then on to the move. My least favorite was pulling up the mats and seeing what was under there. No dead rats though, which was surprising. The new space looks great; I think we’ll have a lot of fun there!
Off to bed. I’ve already got a steak marinating for tomorrow…
Oh, I forgot. My time was 27:35…or maybe 29:35. I know exactly what Fox means about everyone sounding like Charlie Brown characters afterward.
Also, was extremely grateful for Jenna counting my burpees and convincing me I wasn’t having a heart attack. Thanks, bitch!
32:49
Scaled the box jumps to 20″, did 30 as step ups. I should have rx’d it, but I just don’t feel safe with those 24″ boxes. Still, not pleased about scaling back.
Burpees suck.
Thrusters seemed heavier then I expected. The day before I’d done a bunch at 65 lbs, that might be why. Sets were mostly 4’s and 3’s.
I was thinking the deadlifts would be cake. Not the case. Broke down as 5-10-8-2. Didn’t take too long, but I thought I was going to go unbroken… not a chance.
Double-unders, I just don’t understand our relationship. Some days they click, others they’re awful. The first 30 took forever. Last 20 were unbroken. I don’t understand why.
Pull-ups, I think were sets of 5. Might have started with 10, don’t recall.
Burpees sucked ever worse.
____
It was great to see the new space and hang out with everyone after the move. I’m looking forward to making many sweat angels on those floors.
Yikes! That was supposed to be 135# deadlifts, woops!
btw, the deadlifts were unexpectedly fucking horrible. I really expected them to be easy, but they were bad. several other people I talked to felt similarly.
28:39 with 155# DLs, all else as Rx’d. Counted DU attempts and DUs–made about 35 DUs I would guess.Thanks Jess for counting me through the last 50 burpees, and David for standing there 2 inches from my face and not letting me stop for the last 15. I learned a bit about pain tolerance. Like Laurel, I need a bigger one.
Great fun at Sheep Station! Do you think we could convince them to sustainably source their meats if we keep leaving tips like that?
27:38
Was manageable until the last set of burpees where it became a total suckfest.All burpees were done on my knuckles because of my wrist issue which made them even suckier.
