Speed Box Squats:
50% x 3 x 10 @21X1
Rest :45-1:00 between sets.
Percentage recommendations are based off of a recent 1RM, or a few pounds heavier than last week. These should be LIGHT and FAST on the way up. Note the tempo includes a 2 second descent and 1 second pause at the box. This is meant to help prevent you from crashing onto the box and/or relaxing on the box. The intent is to find the box under control and maintain tension there before exploding up.

Farewell to 5:30pm Short Circuit on Tuesdays and Thursdays
It is with heavy heart that we have decided to take the 5:30pm Tuesday and Thursday Short Circuit classes off of our schedule. Unfortunately, the time was a little too early to get enough traction, and there are scheduling conflicts that won’t allow us to push it to later in the evening. Today will be our final 5:30pm Short Circuit class. If this affects your membership or makes you unable to attend alternative classes, please contact us at info [at] crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com so we can find you a solution. Thanks so much for your support of the program and we hope to see you at other times and days
