Join the team SBK Support Staff this weekend!

We're looking for a few folks to help with the room set-up/break down this weekend at the CrossFit open sectional event.  If anyone was planning on coming anyway or perhaps taking the 11pm class, we'd love to have a couple extra hands to build some barbells, clear the equipment and stage the workout stations.  If you're staying for the whole event or coming later, we'd also appreciate a hand breaking everything down. We will dole out some CFSBK swag to everyone helping out!

Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you're able and willing!  We'll need about 2-4 people total.

Also, if anyone has a photography background and can photograph the event for us (we'll provide a camera) please let us know!


Calling all Level 1 certified CrossFitters
Got your L1? We're looking for some people to volunteer as judges for the event on Saturday. You'll be judging athletes compete in the Deadlift, Push-up and Box Jump triplet.  

Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you'd like to help.  

Additionally, please watch this video (link to games video) to see the rules and standards for the 2nd Open Sectional WOD.

  1. Fun 6am class with Madame Fox. Was psyched to see my press come back after the shoulder injury.

    WU:Drills w/ 45#55×5, 65×3, 75×1

    Work: 77x5x3Last rep of last set was a little ugly in the ribcage department but otherwise these felt good. I’m very happy with this, as 77 did NOT go up in February.

    WOD: 6:09. The push presses got real heavy real fast.

    Great to see McGrath and Ariel on team 6am!

  2. Whew, kinda hard to be “on” at 6am but thankfully I had a good crew to work with. Nice job 6am!

    Snuck in my own workout after class and before work.

    Press:(45×5, 55×5, 65×5)work: 70x5x3-superset with 3 strict chins, and 2 negatives each round.

    WOD:4:06 @ 70lbs.-felt good. that is all.

  8. I tweaked a little piece of my back under my right shoulder blade last night, slept on it funny and woke up feeling a fair amount of pain.

    I tried to make an appointment with my friend’s acupuncturist, but they were full. I looked on Yelp and made an appointment with Dr. Thomas at Community Chiropractic and Acupuncture– it was local and seemed to have great reviews. I wanted nothing more than a little pain relief through some needles.

    Well, that was a very bad idea.

    1. There was so much dirt and dust under the table that had I not been in acute pain and just filled out a ream of paperwork I would have walked out.

    2. She really pushed chiropractic on me. I just wanted some needles, but she insisted that a couple of adjustments would be best to relieve the pain.

    3. She asked how much and how I work out. I told her I did CrossFit. It became clear to me that she had no idea what that was when she suggested that I be diligent about doing twenty minutes of cardio before I even think about touching a weight, and that if I need to do weights, I should do no more than TWO POUND weights, and I should use those while walking on the treadmill. I thought if I told her I squatted 155# last night, her silly little head would have spun clear around.

    So. It felt moderately better when I left, but anyone got any better plans than this? Anyone use acupuncture to relieve acute pain? Should I have just taken some ibuprofen and called it a day?

  10. press(5): (45, 65) 80x3with 2 chin-ups and 3 negatives in between

    WOD @ 80# = 3:57apparently i jerked some of those push presses in the first round. i really don’t feel it when i’m trying to cycle fast–gotta work on that. i was surprised how quick i was able to get the jumps done. fun!

  14. Robin – that sucks. I’ve been to Karen and was super happy with the results (she dd chiro and electro-stim and some heat). Then again. I’ve also been to Dr Michael Annicelli for ART and had great results. I’ve referred many a folk to both, (including Nino via other SBKers).

    ———-

    Press125x5x3

    WOD @ 1154:19FUN!

  15. robin – i’ve done chiro, acupuncture, lots of flavors of therapeutic massage, and ART. for me, chiro worked best for acute-ish pain.(ART was the pain-cherry on my pain sundae… i was not a fan.)

    here’s my chiro, i luv him:

    drpico.com (he takes insurance if you got it.)

    for acupuncture, i went for a while to the low-cost Clinic at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in Manhattan. super-affordable, highest-calibre clinical treatment… you might not be able to get an “ASAP” appt, but if you are a fan of acupuncture and want to invest the time to get into their system, it’s an absolutely unbeatable value. once you are in treatment there, you would have a better chance to get seen in an acute scenario.

  16. I didn’t know I was looking for acupuncture until I started reading the blog, thanks!

    Did the sectionals WOD tonight;6 rounds + 9 deadlifts + 6 pushups Total points 231Push ups were definitely the limiting factor here but the box jumps took more out of me than I was expecting.

  19. 5×3 @ 100 lbsw 3 sets of strict chinups (10 reps each)

    WOD in 7.59 (switched box jumps for lateral jumps) & 100 lbs push press

  20. So, I wasn’t too happy with my 6:11 at #65 last night. Redid the workout today at lunchtime. Did WORSE. 6:17. Hahahaha.
