DO I just want to hug you right now. Incredible timing. I'm bringing my kid brother to the box tomorrow to watch my noon class. I sent him that video. I hope CrossFit can give him that positive space to choose his life over heroin.
CFSBK LOVE!

I've been on vacation down the shore this week, so I spent a few days at CrossFit Toms River. Great place, nice people – but I have missed SBK! The programming is a bit different in that at least one movement from the warm-up or strength training is always included in the WOD – which makes it really tough (especially on the snatch day!). I did get my bench press comfortably back to 70# and hit 50# on the snatch, though.
Last night's beach WOD – I was expecting a fun, lighter workout and this is what I got:
Beach Murph Partner WOD
400m run or 50m swim
100 Burpees
200 Push-ups
300 Sit-ups
400 Walking lunges
400m run or 50m swim
beach burpees = enough penance for 2 cheats on the paleo challenge!! My partner and I finished in 34:40.
Looking forward to being back at SBK this weekend!

Okay, I cannot be the only SBKer who is obsessed with Clueless. (In fact, I know my Wonder Twin is too…but there have to be others.)
A week from Tuesday there's a Clueless trivia night in Billyburg: http://bkwinery.com/event/clueless-trivia/3276
I'm trying to get a team together. Email me if you want to come. stellavision, gmail.

C'mon Rob, singlet at open gym, just do it.
Laura Mc says
@Stella GOD ELTON CAN'T YOU SUCK??
Can't make it Tuesday, but I'm with you in spirit.
Courtney says
Work travel is ruining fun life stuff. @Stella, I 100% would've been in, but I'll be on a plane to go to California.
Miss CFSBK, so going to OG tonight because my buns, they don't feel nothin' like steel.
In the meantime, gotta go. I can't find my Cranberries CD. I need to go to the quad before someone snags it.
Dan L says
Did yesterday's WOD
OHS 95×5, 135×3, 155×3, 165×3, 175×3, 185×3 – 20# over my previous 1RM (which was from quite some time ago) Very happy with that
Got through 4 rounds of the NFT work. Best DUs were 98, best weighted chin-up set was at 70#
michele says
another plea for someone to return my heavy black umbrella, with annoying corporate logo, taken from the gym tuesday night
Mel says
That picture just made me spit coffee up. It is so amazing. Cannot wait to yell for CFSBK tomorrow — whoot whoot!

8am with Noah.
OHS with Cliff:
45×6, 75×4, 95×3, 115×3, 135×3, 145×2
I remember the last time with did OHS I missed at 105, so I was happy to hit two at 145 today. Need to focus on pushing up into the bar more.
2 rounds at BW, one at +15 for the chins, about 45 double each minute. The shoot-throughs I needed a box for.
Followed up with Whitney's yoga class, which I highly recommend. Excellent change of pace from regular group classes.

lindsayksilva@gmail.com says
HA! Exactly what I was thinking Stella. I hope there is a video!
And I wish I could go to Clueless trivia but I'm front desking it that night…so I leave you with this:
It's like that book I read in the 9th grade that said "'tis a far far better thing doing stuff for other people." (like covering FD shifts!)
Steph P says
I have a spot in tomorrow's Subway Series event if anyone can take it!
Alan O'D says
Press: up to 130×5. I finished the last cycle at 110×5, so yeah, apparently doing lots of HSPU work helps?
I think I more or less got a couple unassisted back levers; they were a major goal for the summer, so I'm pretty happy. I'm going to wait for Ken to confirm they actually count though…
Finished with three sets of blue band iron cross pulls. They felt much stronger than last week.
Fox says
