Old CFSBK Videos
- Here is a video of a Group Class from 2008. We were in the basement of the Lyceum, had very little equipment
- Here’s Jeremy at the 2009 North East Regional tearing off a callus and finishing the final workout of the weekend
- Here is David talking about starting CFSBK for an old CrossFit Journal article

wish I could see these videos. I get the heisman.
Everything felt good last night, chins, repouts on presses and deads, and even the C2. Off to Pittsburgh to beat up some Penguin fans. See you this weekend.
6am with Coach Jess. Line drills and other fun warmup. Farmer carried two 2 pood kettlebells twice around the block with partner Mike. Broad jumped onto the leader board at 9'6". That's a nice way to start a day.
PS 100 banded good mornings produces serious hamstring soreness.

I feel sort of wrecked today. I've been getting really jacked up at night after lifting the past 5 weeks, but last night I was wiped out and actually sleepy after our workout. I also had to force myself to eat. Slept late today and could probably go back to bed now. : )
Corbett is about to embark on the best month of Strength Cycle, where you lift like an animal, eat everything in sight, and then hibernate for 12 hours. Good times, and good effort last night to all the Strength people, seriously intensity on the platforms!
Reginal Workouts announced: WOW!!

Awesome videos, love the classic material. Especially of course Jeremy's ultimate man up.
84.5" broad
2 poods w/ Sameer, 20 burpees.
Line drills are good times.
Utterly crushed this morning as I pulled Le Groin Muscle when doing the first round of lateral mini-runs inside. I think my mistake was "oo.. that felt weird" and not stopping as the second round was "holyshitow." Rest of class was spent hanging out with ice and attempting some stretches. Thanks Lady Fox, and coach Fox, umm Foxes for the advice. Totally jealous of the playtime 7amers had as everything looked so fun! Polar WOD was not.
Box Squats last night, worked up to 325 for a double and had more room. Felt better than expected. Piña coladas apparently might be a PED.
Great vacation down in Rincon, PR. So great to be back though. I missed you all!
Also, Black band Good Mornings…Phewey, good morning indeed. My hammies and low back are SMOKED!
This is the worst week ever!! MGMT Left my Sigg yet again, will grab tomorrow. Graphite with the CFSB sticker on the bottom, but y'all prolly know that by now. Sorry.
I was wondering if I'd done the good mornings incorrectly because my low back is pretty sore today. I feel it somewhat in my hammies, but low back much more. Was I perhaps rounding out too much?
Jules – check the lost and found bin next time you're in.
Stella – nope. It's a low back and hammie exercise. If you felt it more in your low back it could indicate a weakness there…it's why we'll be doing them!
partnering with noah was fun again today. farmers carry was a pain when our fellow crossfitters blocked the road! curse you. =)
2pd, 20 burpees.
90.5" broad jump
why does the web page say unable to post sometimes?
Sameer: Don't know — it seems to be unrelated to whether or not you have a link in the post.
that post i just made failed 3 times, finally on the 4th try it worked.
Stella, just make sure if you do again it's big chest and really focus the bend at the hip.
It's much more hamstring burn.
Got talked into Jerry cans w/ Vincent & DMak–didn't totally suck!
82.5" Broad jump. Had an 88 incher that resulted in a complete back splat.
