Thank you to whoever brought in the Chess Board. Check the comments for some ideas on how we can get a game going.
David Osorio says
I was thinking that we could do it one of two ways:
1. You’re allowed 1 move per day. Pick a side and stick with it until checkmate. This keeps things anonymous and open.
2. Folks who are interested in Chess can make two teams and play one move per day each.
We would need some easy way to track who’s turn it was.
thoughts?
Nick K says
Re: chess. Keep a little tab next to the board that is black on one side and white on the other. Every time someone moves, they flip it so that the side facing up indicates what color should move next.
8-6-5-4-6 bar dips (yesterday). Will try for a solid 6 across next iteration. On metcon Anne + I made 21:40.
Also, first successful double unders yesterday! Thanks Shane for help with form.
Anne W. says
Thanks for the bday wish David!!! 🙂 Can’t wait to see SBK’s new home.
Happy Birthday day to Chris and Felix as well!
David Osorio says
Good idea, Nick!
Congratulations to Malcolm, Laurel and Shawn for signing new leases and moving recently.
2 Clock Gone Bad times should be in house today.. assuming im there to pick up the package.
Malcolm says
Now that the gym has a more permanent home there was no impediment to moving closer.
Sadly this really isn’t a joke.
Samir Chopra says
At Brooklyn College, we have a little sign next to the milk and sugar at the coffee station: Clean up after yourself. Your mama don’t work at Brooklyn College!
David: Can I come in today to do the Crash B WOD? Or will that get in the way of the partner relays? I was thinking of doing it in the 6 or 7 PM slot.
Matt U. says
Warm-up: 2 rds of 20 pulls on the erg, 25-sit-ups, and 30 DUs. I strung together 20+ DUs in both sets.
5 sets across of bar dips at 3 reps. Dips are definitely one of my weaker movements, so I’m looking forward to this cycle to really build some strength.
Did the partner WOD with Neil in 25:56 with me doing 25 push-ups. For anyone doing it today: be mindful of the lessons of Jackie — the energy you save by going 10 seconds slower on the row may save you a minute or more on the push-ups.
Nick Peterson says
@Samir: I’ll be leading a rowing class tonight at 8:00. Can you come then? We’ll cover technique, strategy, &c.
Samir Chopra says
Nick: Sounds good. I’ll be there. Thanks!
Nick Peterson says
@Samir: Great!
Tam says
I loved today! I like the more extended drom’s at the beginning.
Dips: 5×5 bar
3rounds of 500m row & 25 push-ups with Nicole: 26:56
Really nice to work out with you, Nicole!
Sameer Parekh says
nice sized lunchtime class today! cfsbk is taking over the planet, it is clear to me.
fun partner wod with my guest patri — 25 pushups, 22:50
ring dips, 5×5 — i didn’t get full lockout on the last rep of my last set though. =(
Bjorn says
Bar dips: 5×5 with white band. Hoping for 5 unassisted bar dips by the end of this cycle.
Partner WOD with David & Dave: 500m row/15 pushups 3 rounds, forgot what time. We got a little confused about whose turn it was to do what.
I had this fantasy of being able to sneak out of work for midday classes on a regular basis, but the slow subway turned this into an almost 3 hour lunch break. Don’t think I’ll be able to do that too often, sadly.
Joe says
Ring dips 4 4 4 4 4
Partner WOD with Tal: 20:42 (25 push-ups). 1st 2 rounds the row was under 1:50, last round 1:52ish. 1st round pushups 10-10-5, 2nd round 10-8-7, 3rd round 5-5-5-5-5
Annie in 17:24. Double unders remain a nemisis.

METCON3 rnds 500 m – stayed in the 2:30/2:40 range, blah15 push ups using the parallettes (sp?)

Bar dips and push ups felt strong today. Paleo effect? Still need to get more power behind my rowing.
Chris J. says
Bar dips – 3 3 3 2 2
David and Fox apparently missed the coaching class on NOT laughing at the clients.
Whatever… I was surprised to do one.
Loved the metcon. 18:21 – 15 PUs
David Mak says
Nice little warm up with the forward rolls and pulls on the erg.Did the CRASHB WOD today: 2 x (4 x 500m / 2 min.) / 5 min1:40.41:41.31:42.11:43.41:44.41:45.21:46.41:43.3All at about a 25 s/m rate except the last rnd went up to about 27. By the numbers it seems like I was sandbagging but it’s very mental.
Saw McG on the street yesterday lookin’ all Gangsta, you go brother.
Jess says
Bar Dips: 5 sets at 4 reps with the white band. (I don’t remember if it’s written 4×5 or 5×4…help!)
Partner WOD with Brian: 17:30ish with 15 pushups. Didn’t get the exact times on my rows, but they were right around 2:00. I definitely felt gassed at the 250 mark each round. Pushups were harder than expected. Mostly in sets of 2 and 3, with singles for the last 5.
Then I climbed the rope! Well only halfway before I got scared and realized I was really fatigued. Thanks to Fox, Malcolm, Brian, Dan R for the pointers and for teaching me how to use my legs for support. My bare legs also taught me to wear pants or tall socks before playing next time.
Boo for super-loud screeching noises, but hooray for pullup bars!
Fox says
Ring Dips5x8Tougher than I expected to maintain 8.
Row 500m/PushUp (35) with Dave19:39Also, tougher than expected.
Happy Bday to all the celebrants!
Chris J- sorry, it was the “stir the pot” comment that got me…good job though, despite our heckling.
Malcolm says
Starting Strength Day 8.
Squat 250x5x3 PR (Old PR was one set of 5 at 245!).
Bench Press. 150x5x3.Power Clean. 155x3x5.
Did some toes to bar afterwards.
David Osorio says
Ring Dips5x5Pretty easy, gonna bump it to 5×7 next time
MetCon with Chris @ 35 Push-ups19:39, I really enjoyed it.
David Osorio says
When the weight or % is specified, it goes

When no weight is specified, it goes

Makes perfect sense, right.

Ring Dips7.5.3.2.1
I went hard on my 1st set and burned out. Didnt get Fox’s advice til I had done that –so next week Ill shoot for sets accross of 4.
Accesory WOD, I did alone. I tried to pace myself with Joe and Tal and finished right after them. Did the 15 pushup version.
Its kind of disappointing to have to start back over, but I did it to myself by being out so long. All the strength gains I had made seem to be long gone. I feel weaker and slower at everything. I can only hope things start to get back to where they were relatively quickly–and it doesnt take another 6-7 mos. to get there. 🙁
Dan Rx'd says
Got out of work late, rather stressful day combined with my headache’s returning with a vengence. Tried to jump rope the other day, too painful to even do singles.
Was really good to make it to SBK, felt like coming home.was really great tinder everyone again. Quickly I felt in a much better mood, and since I missed our grand opening, wanted to take a shot at Grace.
3:14 as RX’d. Head was pounding.
Mostly push-pressed the weight overhead. In reflection I think jerking was actually painful since there’s the stomp and that violent movement add to the pain.
Sorry for not putting my toys away, totally slipped my mind (or whatever was left of it).
Peter says
Ringdips–alternated from just lowering myself on the bars to going up and down with the white band.4,5,4,6,5Partnered w. Chris J. we did 15 pushups18:21
