last 5 min., be sure to mirror the same splits you had for the first 5
min.

Ken sets a new CFSBK Handstand record at 1:12

As you know, Malcolm and Laurel's wedding is coming up very shortly. It's going to be a fantastic night and they are super excited to celebrate with you all. I've been having fun helping them to plan and execute the festivities and I am in need of your help! We've got to turn the gym into a badass but beautiful space to party in, so I am looking for 7-10 volunteers who are willing to hang lights, move jerk blocks, relocate barbells, make ice runs and pick up ice cream.

Most of the set up will take place from 2pm to 8pm the day of the wedding, Sept. 5, though we may need to do some preliminary stuff either fri the 3rd or sat the 4th.

If you are interested and able to help out, that would be incredibly wonderful! Please email me with your availability at margie (at) crossfitsouthbrooklyn (dot) come before Wed Sept 1.

Thanks!!

  4. Dude, Samir. My apologies. I seriously typed “Sameer,” I don’t know what happened. Can we blame Linus’s recent 5am wakeups?

  5. Charlotte: No worries. There are people in my family who can’t spell my name right!

    I wouldn’t blame poor Linus. I suspect The Management[tm] did it. Just to keep it “unknown and unknowable” – you know what I’m sayin’?

  6. Fun noon class with Marge.

    2,550m on the row.

    Zercher Hold50/1:4595/0:4495/0:45

    Zercher hold not as bad as it sounds. Fun actually, as you squeeze your cheeks and shake like a leaf.

    @Charlotte: Thanks for posting the rebuttal to the Times piece. It’s an interesting debate. Less people in the world would help. Didn’t stop me from having a kid.

  8. Grace @ 95# = 3:19.I think that’s a PR. Nice way to blow off steam after a stupid day at work.

    SDHP @ 65#:30 work, 1:00 rest x 219 reps, 17 reps. One minute is going to be a very long time.

    95# keg holds = :55 sec, :25 sec??? Jess made me laugh and I dropped it.

  9. Day 2 of Strength Cycle 2 and the heat is already on for me.

    Struggled to keep chest up on the squat, and took 3 or 4 steps backward on the chin-ups, which were the big surprise success from last cycle (jumped THREE bands in 8 weeks.)

    Searching for reasons why, I remembered the 12 hours I sat in the same position at my desk yesterday. That shit screws with my next workout more than doing an illegal “rest” day WOD.

    Thanks Nick for the impromptu rowing advice. I really appreciate it.

  11. A nice 5 PM class with Margie.

    2655 meters for the row pyramid.

    SDHP practice. Then three rounds of :30 AMRAP with 75 lbs. Did 12,12,12

    Keg holds. 11 seconds on the first one because I think I just dropped it from the wrong position, then 37 seconds, then 45. All the ladies were mighty strong as was my FGB team-mate Sean B.

  12. Keg holds: didn’t write down but something like 30 seconds, 1 minute, 30 seconds with the 50lb keg. Way fun, and want to try again and play more with the positioning because Marion pointed out I was holding it entirely on my shoulders and not my chest.

    Rowing ladder: 2372m

    SDHP: around 11 reps for each 30 second round at 42lb.

    I love back-off weeks, so much fun and variety. 🙂
