Tze Chun Dance Company performance at CFSBK
Please read the following article, especially if you've been training with us for less than 6 months.
The CrossFit Startup Guide: Part 1
Some Notes
1. If you've got a water bottle at CrossFit, please remove it by Monday. We've accumulated far too many to hold on to and will be disposing of any unclaimed bottles after this weekend.
2. Please feel free to use the fridge to store food and water for before or after class. The only thing we ask is that you remove your stuff before leaving the gym. Overnight storage is not permitted.
3. We've got internet access at the gym now! If you'd like to bring your lap top and hang out (or post comments) feel free. Please ask us for the password for the network in person.
4. Do you have any suggestions for the gym? Please post to comments if you do.
warmly, The management.
Bachar Ladder!I am dying to build one.http://www.trails.com/video_267_bachar-ladder-indoor-rock-climbing.html
OH! And a HUGE jolly roger flag that we can hang from the gate when it is up!
OH! OH! And how about a Paleo BBQ on the roof for the 4th of July?!!!I will bring wine and, by then, a baby!
Hey all of you pull-up monsters, how did you get from the land of sets of 5, 3 and 2, to ripping off 10’s and 20’s in WOD’s? Did you do any specific accessory work to gain that capacity?
Showers!
Crossfit Endurance/Running/POSE classes!
Go-Go Dancers!
Go Go Dancers lmao. That image is crackin me up.
We need other sports equipment to toss around outside on a nice day.
I think I can get us a football.
Skin embedded barcode and scanner so we don’t have to sign in?
I can implant everyone with RFID tags!
Y’all didn’t happen to find a pair of black workout pants, did you? Those were nice, and I wish I could find them 🙁
I second endurance/running classes.
A cat.
I suggest we have a premanent rack to hold water bottles for people who tend to be…forgetful.
maybe a microwave for that PWO sweet potato. If you get a cat, I’ll have to work out in a hazmat suit.
I wish I wouldve remembered before I threw out my microwave. i was thinking about it last week. It wasnt operating at 100% but it still wouldve worked fine for our purposes.
Joe: We only really need Go-Go cages–we’ve got Fox and Shane!
jim: theres a microwave in house already. i brought it in yesterday. it’s under the espresso machine.
tam: i informally let the bottom of the counter become that but it’s gone totally out of hand and we have upwards of 20+ unclaimed and forgotten bottles.
joe: showers are eventually coming.
footballs etc are a good idea. i really want a volley ball net.
benjamins in my g-stringwhat?!
Mirrors! Mirrors on every surface! Mirrors on top of mirrors!
Re: BBQ, there’s also Memorial Day!
Peeing in the left-behind water bottles may have also gotten the message across. But I guess asking people to take them home is fine too, if you like taking the straightforward, non-passive-aggressive approach.
I’d be happy to man the grill anytime. I work a homemade rub for steaks. I make burgers that can leave you addicted. My lamb chops are the main event. It would be a pleasure.
Jim: Cookoff!
oh man….don’t make me break out the espresso mustard rubbed ribs. I don’t want to hurt anyone. Shawn, it’s game on!
Oh, and Shake Weights. I demand a rack of Shake Weights.

i will smoke all y’all in the meat and general cookery category.
step off.
gym improvements: is there soap in the bathroom? i would like soap.
also, i noticed in the link to the crossfit startup guide posted for “beginners” today, that the guide itself contains mostly links to articles from CrossFit Journal that are available to paid subscribers only. One, it would be nice to state that upfront in the reco to read the article. Two, if those articles are available to read at the gym, that would be great.
Finally, re: go-go dancers: speaking as an actual dancer, I have to say I have never seen a group of men so eager to take their clothes off in public, and in front of a camera, as Crossfit men. So, if there are to be go-go dancers at CFSBK, in a cage or roaming free like Go-Go Groks, let it be our crossfit boys, wearing nothing but those annoying knee-highs.

has anyone noticed that laurel looks completely the drill instructor on the teaser class page?
BELOW PARALLEL NOW, MAGGOT! DO YOU WANT ME TO COME OVER THERE AND SQUAT FOR YOU? THIS IS NOT YOUR MOMMA’S CROSSFIT!
I made up yesterday’s squat clean/pull-up workout at noon today.3 RFT10 155lb squat cleans25 pull-ups
9:59I didn’t have quite the intensity I wanted today, but happy enough to finish under 10 minutes.
As for gym suggestions, I would love some slam balls for WODs. Slam balls seem to be to the West Coast what ERGs are to the East Coast. Also, I’m hoping to see the ropes and rings hanging again from the ceiling soon.
While playing Russian roulette with the barbells has been fun on occasion, I’d really love to see barbell racks. And of course stripper poles. Where else would we be able to practice flag poles???
Made up Bench Press today:
Warm-up: 45×5 75×5 95×5 135x5Work: 165x5x5
That’s a 20 lb jump over last exposure, and a Crossfit PR for the lift. It was nice having to chase Tushar.
Looking forward to the debut of Chris and Shane’s go-go routine.
Bike rack right out front would be nice. I’m afraid, come full summer, I’ll be roaming far and wide for something to lock to.
On the fanciful side, I went to a pricey-posh gym that used wine fridges for cold damp eucalyptus scented towels you could use. I admit, that rocked when gasping red-faced and overheated for air.
