CFSBKers carrying sandbags during the CMC

  • Team CFSBK is playing team Tumblr today at 3:00pm in soccer. CFSBK is way more culturally relvant than tumblr so an epic win is just about a lock.

Good luck, Jake and Brandon!

CFSBK wishes the best of luck to Jake L and Brandon R who are competing in the Rudy Sablo Memorial Weightlifting Open in Garden City today. Jake L is attempting to qualify for nationals in the 207lb weight class.  His current PRs are a 270 Snatch and 323 Clean and Jerk, he’ll need to hit 275 and 335 in order to qualify. Brandon is also hoping to hit some qualifying numbers. His current PRs are a 202.4 Snatch and 242 Clean and Jerk.

Best of luck, fellas. CFSBK is rooting for you!

  1. Quick reminder guys:

    The CFSBK FIghting Tacos are taking on Tumblr at 3PM at Brooklyn Bridge Park Pier 5 today!

    Take a break from football and watch some futbol! Come on down!

  3. Good luck today Jake and Brandon! QUAL-I-FY!!
    Jake post some videos on Instagram

    Great 9am class with Fox and Arturo. Squat clean breakthrough. Thanks, Arturo
    FSQ felt good today, too.
    Was feeling bad about skipping out on yesterday's wall balls, so I was grateful for the punishment cash out.

    Another gorgeous Sunday. Go Tacos!!!

  5. @David – From your post yesterday – I used to work on a cruise ship and there were barbells in the Crew gym. Maybe sneak down there when no one is looking? Haha

  7. Good luck Jake & Brandon!

    Heads up: Michael Fiore is standing in 4th place in the Pump Games as of last night! Good luck today man! Go get'em

    Good luck to my fighting tacos 🙂

  12. Nancy, thank you so much! And thanks to everyone who came to the Pilates workshop today. I had a blast teaching all of you and I hope you all had fun taking the class. Now scoop your abs!!!

  15. @KH are you going to do another anytime soon?

    Long time, no post/workout. Tried to get back in the groove post-Europe but the crazy work schedule has made that impossible. Now on a 4 week bender to whip my ass back into shape for premium FGB performance.

    Squat Cleans @ #85 which is very very light for me, but was concentrating on form and not killing myself.

    FSQ 3×5 @ #85 also very very light for me, but the same mantra went for these as above.

    Cashout 3×270 and thrusters 15# db's.

    Feels great to be back in the groove. I missed everyone.

  16. Good luck everyone!

    11am with Arturo and MeLo. Cleans were wobbly and slow at 75#.

    Front squats- I felt inspired by KH and Bethany and added 10# to last week's weight to make myself feel better about the cleans. 3 x 5 at 120#. Felt pretty good!

    Having done yesterday's workout on Friday , I felt I had no excuse not to do the thruster/ running cash out. Just about managed with 20# dumbbells, but not unbroken.

  17. Took 11am class today

    2 Squat cleans EMOTM for 10 mins:
    -did this at 133# again like last week but today felt so much harder. I swear my back is still fried from that heavy deadlift wod last week.

    FSQ:
    (135×2, 155×2, 175×2)
    185×2, 195×2
    -elbows definitely starting to drop. thankful for the belt though. my lofty goal for a 1RM is 215. I'd at least like to hit 210 though.

  19. After months of hard work…i didnt qualify, but i did have a great meet and I hit 2 PRs.

    Snatch
    Opened with 260, hit it, felt good.
    Second attempt went for 275# (5#PR)…Got it, fuck ya, that was my goal
    Third attempt, went for 282, just missed it….ok, still made a 5lb pr, was feeling good.

    Clean and Jerk
    This is where i knew i was going to have to be really strong. My current PR is 323, i need to make 335 to qualify.
    1st attempt at 335 missed the clean…ok, no worries just did pull hard enough.
    2nd attempt- hit the clean (12lb pr), stood up with it, but holy shit was it hard. I was seeing stars and felt close to passing out. just missed the jerk forward. I knew i had just emptied the tank on that lift and it wasnt to be today.
    3rd attempt-didnt even really go for it.

    All in all, it was a great meet. I hit 2 PRs, one being a 12lb pr, and came pretty close to my goal. I actually have until november to qualify so i am going to train hard for another month and do another meet. I honestly feel like i could have done more heavy (as in 95%+) clean and jerks. Also, I really need to train on some jerk blocks…I am going to need to utilize those at least once a week for the next month if I want to qualify.

    Even though i was unsuccessful in qualifying today, i had a great meet. Back to training on tuesday…

  20. Alan and Mike!! Sorry the pump games were off my radar when I was writing the blog! I know you guys killed it!!! Please send me pics!

    Jake, Overall a great meet. You're so close, no doubt you'll qualify next meet.

    Ariel, It's me! Thanks! I aim to please.

    Amy, Great tip. What line did you work for? I'll investigate.

    Day 1 on the Cruise with the family.
    A bit of a culture shock here… I kind of feel like I showed up to the wrong party…

    Gym inventory:
    Okay, so they lied about the Concept 2 erg and it's confirmed there are no barbells and there is no where in the gym to do pull-ups. I'll have to get creative with that on deck. Also, for the first time I'm grateful to be short since the gym ceiling is about 8" above my standing reach so I can at least put a dumbbell overhead. It's mostly a wood floor with a bunch of treadmills and recumbent bikes, then one little 10'x10' padded area with some dumbbells that go up to about 60lbs.

    This is not ideal with BOTE only 10 days away and I'll be on this boat for the majority of the time I have left to train.

    Warm-Up:
    3 Rounds NFT of:
    10 OH Rev Lunges, 30lbs
    10 Push-Ups
    10 Bent Over DB Rows 40lbs
    20 Janda Sit-Ups

    Then outside to the concrete track for some sprints

    10x158m Sprint

    Clockwise
    :38 (warm-up)
    :28
    :28
    :30
    :33

    Counter Clockwise
    :34
    :34
    :32
    :34
    :47 (cool down)

    Really hard to run fast on concrete. Once my form drifted at all I would feel myself crashing down on my feet and it running up my shins, had to auto regulate and not go all out. I did about 20 minutes of soft tissue work on my leg on one of the guard rails afterwards.

  21. OG session

    Clean and Jerk
    95×3 135×2 155×1 175×1 185×1 195xc,c,f

    Felt like I was running on empty, no drive on the jerks, couldn't get one up at 195. Dropped down to 155 and did the 2 squat cleans OTM for 10min. All pretty crisp.

    Then did a version of Annie with Julian, subbing 25-20-15-10-5 toes-to-bar for the sit-ups. Made an error in calculating the t2b volume, that was brutal. Finished in 7:52 and apparently had demon-red eyes for 30 minutes afterward!

  22. Also awesome job in the competitions across the board! Jake I was researching DIY jerk blocks. Maybe if we can find some space for them in the gym we can build a set!

  25. Clean work – 176×3, 187×4, 198×3. Front squat was the challenge here

    Front squat – was pretty tired from the squat cleans but got 235×2. First was probably a little shallow. Second was better. Matched a PR but I'll count that as progress given how fatigued I was
