Carmelo and Ernesto work on the first coat of paint. We went with light gray accented with black and red. The community area, office and bathroom will be painted, the rest of the space will stay raw.
Now that the floors have been sealed, we can cut and lay down the mats. We've gained some square footage so we'll need to purchase more mats over the next couple months.

Why Slow Movement Builds Coordination Better Movement
Anatomical Art Lists Galore!
Yesterday I did a modified version of the main site workout. I changed it because it had heavy Thrusters and my previous two workouts had heavy cleans so my quads were kinda trashed.
5 Rounds for time:500m Row7 Mid Hang Power Cleans, 165#’s
21:03
Went about 70-80% on the rower and slowish on the clean reps because I wanted the quality of movement to stay high. This was an enjoyable workout.
Afterwards I practiced handstands (a little) with Nick, worked on my split jerks and then later in the evening did Bench Press 140x5x3 with Malcolm. I’m looking forward to resting tomorrow.
Also:
1. Do you guys prefer links to pop out or change the current window? This includes links and the posted picture.
2. My current obsession is the “Re-Arrange Us” album by Mates of State. I also heard the “Space Odyssey” single off MIA’s upcoming album which is dopeee.
the new hot chip ‘one life stand’ is so much 80s-fun dance pop awesome.The first song, Thieves in the Nights is burning a whole in my brain in a good way.
Meatloaf hand…awesome.
I am obsessed with Mogwai – always.
That embroidered heart is amaaaaaazing. And the rest of Andrea Drezso’s stuff is no less impressive. Have to go see that paper show at the museum of art and design.
I’m in search of a musical obsession. Nothing’s really infecting me at the moment. Most recently, though, it’s been Quasi: Featuring Birds and R&B Transmogrification. In between I always return to Elliott Smith. Soothes the inner sad sack.

New Lindstrom and Christabelle album “Real Life is No Cool”; the Marcus Worgull mix on Resident Advisor; the new Trus’me album “In the Red”. Plus an old obsession recently unearthed – Herbert’s “Bodily Functions” album – so, so so good!
I don’t claim to know anything about music, but my most recent, that’s-so-2009 obsession was “Strict Joy” …sort of “feelgood breakup music,” if there is such a thing.
I prefer pop out windows.
i’d rather pop out windows.

Warm-up: droms, run up to the park (from 6th ave.) 50 du’s, run back down
From the “Comprehensive Bodyweight” list:
5 rounds: 9 handstand push-ups, 9 pull-ups
used my son’s 6″ step stool below my head & a band that’s about equivalent to the blue band (but used my knee instead of my foot)

Enjoyed all links in today’s posting. Loved that they popped up in a new window! Can we have that when others post links too? (Ex: the link Fox posted doesn’t pop up in a new window).
Worked out with Chris yesterday.
Warmup3 rounds NFT of:10e One-arm KB swings (12kg)10 double unders10 pushups
LBBS: (45×5, 95×5, 125×3) 135x3x5
I intended to do sets across at 165 but I had to check myself since I felt as if I’d never squatted before. It’s kinda frustrating that 135 felt so heavy. Can’t figure out if this is related to the Paleo challenge or the lack of consistent strength work…or both.
Then a little metcon of the couplet:Double Unders–75, 65, 55Push Jerk @85lbs–15, 9, 6TIME 10:40
I really miss SBK group classes! Can’t wait to see everyone again. I wonder what our first WOD at Degraw will be???
I prefer pop-out windows!
No music obsessions. Nick is the DJ in our house.
i too prefer pop out windows!
yesterday’s wod for me was
2×20 minute halves of indoor soccer
we didn’t have any female subs so i played the whole game. it was fun, even though we aren’t so great and lost.
current pandora station is Heart Radio (favorite song, “Alone”) but its just to pass the time at work.
it has always kind of annoyed me that the url stays “crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com” even when you open an external link.
music:marvin gaye and tammi terrell: “if I could build my whole world around you”vampire weekend: whole first albumglenn gould: bach 2&3 part inventionslee konitz with warne marsh
I can’t make the links in the comments section pop out.
I’ve been on the phone with verizon for about 45 minutes now trying to follow up on their shitty customer service. It’s been a record 6 transfers to the “appropriate department”Finally making some progress. They built the new address into their system but didn’t send that info to the tech team so it’s going to be another couple days before they can put in a work order.GRRRR
Thanks for the link today! You’re place is looking great. I can’t wait until it’s finished.
The new photos are awesome!

Music obsession: anything by David Hasselhoff, of course.
Andy: HA!
Reason 800 as to why I miss you Andy.
Things I’ve been listening to too much:cursive (mama I’m swollen, whole album)pierces (lights on)islands (where there’s a will there’s a way)modest mouse (we were dead before.. Whole album)
& more.
Paul: If you use the crossfitbrooklyn.typepad.com/ address you don’t get that URL staying the same problem.
links in a new window is the only way to go.
as for music im usually a few years behind when it comes to music since i dont listen to the radio and i dont have cable.

this last week or so of being back in the gym has been a little rough. sore muscles in all kinds of places.
Brisk 30 min runPush up ladder: made it up to round 6 all strict!
My run playlist made me think of a few other songs:”Ain’t No Rest for the Wicked” – Cage the Elephant”Used to Get High” – John Butler Trio (this song has taken a whole new meaning since starting the paleo challenge)
Late to the party, but Buried at Sea’s “Ghost” is pretty awesome. And heeaaaavvvyyy.
My buddy Ross turned me on to this band called Bohren and Der Club of Gore. Pretty sweet apocalypse jazz, but you’ve gotta be in the mood.
We will listen to “Ghost” and lift upon my return in February.
