Traveling to CFSBK?

If you’re coming to CFSBK for the first time, you might consider the following:

Parking: Look for parking on Degraw street and in the avenues and side streets around 4th avenue.  Everything above 4th ave is residential and trickier to find parking in.

Subway: The closest Subway would be taking the R  to “Union Street” or  2 3 4 5 B D N R or Q to Atlantic Ave.  Check us out on Google Maps here

  2. Good to get in and press after my depressing 13.5 attempt at open gym.

    Press: 45×5, 95×5, 135×3, 160×3, 165×3.
    I was gonna call it at 160 since I barely got it, but with 5 minutes left I took a shot at 165 and barely got it. The left side was lagging hard on the last rep but I got it locked out with a fight.

    WOD: Had 9 burpee box jumps left when the cap ran out, I started on kb swings. I did it rx'd with American swings. I could have finished if I did Russians but that feels like taking the easy way out. KB swings were all unbroken, the bell felt light. BBJs were pretty steady but slow.

    It was good to have class with DO for the first time in a while and his impressive attention to detail.

    13.5 at OG last night was a fail. I did the 15 set of thrusters no problem and good. But doing them in the correct rack position for once bothered my wrists and after about the 7th chest to bars I was missing the bar and couldn't get my chest up there. 3 or 4 no reps. Luca, you're supposed to be my bro. I resorted to some chin ups and finally got through the round in time for 7 more thrusters. 37. Lame. On the bright side thrusters are much easier in the rack position. I must improve my kipping skills.

    Good luck today all.

  3. Press: 140#
    WOD: 8:25

    From yesterday: Kung-fu but if not martial arts of some sort it's a tough call between climbing and yoga

    Here's an interesting counter-question: if you could choose one sport/physical discipline you could have started in at a young age what would you pick. For me, gymnastics.

  4. Wait, does that mean C2B chinups are allowed? Because I have a much, much better chance of getting one of those than a C2B pullup tomorrow.

  6. Any grip is allowed for 13.5. Also Jerks are acceptable as well.

    Very exciting event today!! I loved it! I love CrossFit!! Bummed I missed the afterparty
    Also, 8 and 9 were a hoot.

    DAY4
    Snatch: Worked up to 171 (PR)
    Clean and Jerk: Worked up to 176
    Oly Shrugs: Worked up to 365×5
    Jerk Supports: Worked up to 315×5

    That took forever. I'm very tired.
