Modify the Push-Ups to elevated as needed today to be able to complete at least 10 perfect reps. If you can do sets of 20 perfect unbroken Push-Ups then scale up to Ring Push-Ups.

Want to set new PRs under the watchful eye of Coach Frank? A late morning cycle of Next Level Weightlifting Club Starts this Wednesday, April 17th! 

Late Morning Next Level Weightlifting Cycle: Register Now!

Next Level Weightlifting Cycle is an Olympic lifting program focused on the development of the Snatch, the Clean, and the Jerk. Think of it as an Olympic lifting version of our popular Starting Strength Program cycles. During this 8 week cycle led by Coach Frank Murray, there will be a heavy focus on strength and technique. Outside of the Olympic lifts, we will train the Squat, Press, and Deadlift to develop the prerequisite strength required to lift big!

Weightlifting is more than just technique. It is the combination of strength, mobility, coordination, and power. We will work to enhance all of these abilities to maximize the Olympic lifts as well as overall fitness.

The benefit of Next Level Weightlifting Cycle that it trains a wide range of modalities. The skills and strength developed over these 8 weeks will transfer directly to CrossFit and your overall fitness.

News and Notes

• A note from CFSBKer Adam Scher: “My company was nominated for a Webby (the Oscar’s of the internet)! The Believer, a website we designed and built has been nominated for Best Magazine Website. The nomination has two parts, a critic’s choice and a people’s Choice. That’s where CFBSK comes in. If the community could vote it would be so helpful as we are up against a little old magazine called The New Yorker. Thanks for the help! Voting takes 60 seconds and can be done here.”
