The fun starts at 7pm and will continue until around 10. This event is open to everyone and all are encouraged to come. Bring your friends and family!

We’ll vote on the top 3 dishes, so bring your best recipe! You may, of course, opt to bring a healthy dessert that limits the use of sugars and refined grains.

• The gym will provide some alcohol, but feel free to bring whatever else you’d like. If you’re not drinking booze and want to bring a drink, seltzer is great, too!
• If your food needs to be kept warm, you’ll need to provide your own crockpot or other method for keeping it at serving temperature. We’ve got surge protectors and extension cords.
• We’ll provide notecards so you can label your dish and list its ingredients.

Reps & Sets Abroad: Some Thoughts on CrossFit and Travel

By David Osorio

Editor’s Note: This is a great chance to repost this fun piece by Captain Osorio on CrossFit and travel. If you’re traveling to Austin, you can now visit CFSBK coaching alumnus Noah Abbott’s gym, CrossFit Lumos! “Reps & Sets Abroad” was originally published on 5.10.16.

An important aspect of CrossFit that often seems to go unnoticed is the fact that it offers a readymade community pretty much everywhere you go. Traveling to Paris, France or Austin, Texas? There will be a gym there full of like-minded people that you can hang out with. Moving to Rome, Italy or Rome, Georgia? It’s a safe bet that you’ll be able to find an affiliate that will make your new home feel more like, well, home.

I recently traveled to Austin and wanted to check out some affiliates. First I dropped into CrossFit Central. I got there a little early, so the owner Jeremy let me do some Power Cleans and Push Jerks at their Central Athlete facility with some other folks who were training. Afterwards, I took the 4:30 group class back in the CrossFit Central building. We started with some line drills then a 15 minute EMOM of three gymnastics skills: Hollow Holds, Ring Dips, and Handstands. We finished a metcon called “Waterfall” which consisted of running, Burpees, Kettlebell Swings, and Double-Unders. CrossFit Central is an OG affiliate that has been around at least as long as CFSBK, so Jeremy and I chatted about the evolution of things and a little bit about their history. As an affiliate owner, I’m always interested in talking to other coaches and owners about their journey. CFC had a nice vibe and everyone was very welcoming. Running in that Texas heat is no joke!

I also had the opportunity to drop into CrossFit Jääkarhu as well! It was a huge space with leveled classes and lots of equipment, including some slugs from the CrossFit Games. We did some line drills, then an every-other-minute-on-the-minute workout of heavy Clean and Jerks for 7 sets. The class finished with “Diane,” which I PRd at 7:41 doing strict Handstand Push-Ups! CFJ had a nice mixture of a relaxed atmosphere and a well-organized class. I stayed for about 30 minutes after class to talk to a few of the coaches about what it’s  like to have just opened 18 months ago, how they do leveled programming, and how they use their space. They have a successful team and a big competative element, but they also have plenty of programing for beginners and intermediates. They run seperate classes for their “Fitness,” “Sport,” and “Competition” programs, often at the same time in different parts of their massive gym. I really liked the vibe of this gym and highly recommend it!

I can’t think of another fitness pursuit or activity that offers this kind of global community. Most people don’t have the luxury of being able travel to a place where they don’t know anyone and still be able to easily train with people who share the same ethos. CrossFit has, of course, exploded over the past few years, so we’re at the point where you can go to almost any major city in the world and check out an affiliate. The people there will almost always be really welcoming and just as stoked to meet you, and it’s enlightening to see how other people in other parts of the country/world express the CrossFit culture. It’s a rare thing and something worth taking advantage of!

Have you dropped into another affiliate while traveling? If so, what was it like? Any advice for first-timers?

CFSBK Kids Birthday Party Testimonials

Did you know that our CFSBK Kids program offers birthday parties? We offer hour-and-a-half events for kids of all ages! Each party consists of an hour of age appropriate activities, followed by a half-hour during which the parents can do food/cake and kids can do a little controlled free play afterwards. While we have refrigerators for drinks/beer, tables, chairs and plenty of room for parents to hang out, birthday cakes and any other food you’d like to serve is to be provided by the parents. Our parties are a blast!

Don’t take it from us. We’ve gathered some recent testimonials from parents:

“Coach Lynsey and the entire CrossFit South Brooklyn Kids team did the most amazing job hosting my daughter’s 6th birthday party! They took her theme (Rainbow Girl Superpower!) and ran with it, making my life as a parent as easy and stress-free as possible. The coaches did a fantastic job of incorporating plenty of exciting and age appropriate activities and had all the girls laughing, running and playing throughout the entire party (bonus points for how ready my kids were for bedtime after the party). I can’t say enough amazing things about CrossFit South Brooklyn and their awesome Kids program and would plan a party here every day if I could (wait, can I??).”—Courtney S.

“We threw our daughter’s birthday here—for the second year in a row, at her demand—and it was fantastic. The kids are challenged, exhilarated, and exhausted, the coaches are fun and encouraging. The parents love watching their kids learn how to conquer complicated but age-appropriate obstacle courses while hanging on the sidelines. Each year we’ve heard from other parents that it’s their favorite birthday party. Love CFSBK kids parties!”—Rebecca G. 

“CrossFit South Brooklyn made the best birthday ever! They are GREAT with the kids, and the kids have a blast with the activities (obstacle courses, bouncy house, rope swing). They even customized the activities to my daughter’s party theme, Star Wars, which she can’t stop talking about. It’s also nice that you can bring drinks and food for parents, and the large open room accommodates groups well. I would definitely recommend CFSBK for a birthday party.”—Stacey

Go HERE for more info and to book a party. Feel free to send today’s post to any parents who might be interested!

The 3 Laws of Muscle Activation in Resistance Training Breaking Muscle
The N.E.A.T. Way to Exercise Blue Zones

A1) Front Squat:
3 x 5 @ 3011

No pause at the bottom but the turnaround should be controlled with little to no “bounce.” Add a few lbs to last week.

A2) Chin Up:
3 x 5 @ 3011

No pause at the bottom but the turnaround should be controlled with little to no “bounce.” Add resistance or use band assistance that allows you to perform the reps at the prescribed tempo. As an alternative, perform Tall Kneeling Band Pulldowns. In either case the goal is use a more challenging variation than last week. Keep your neck neutral and avoid “chinning” yourself over the bar. Instead, keep the focus on the lats by pulling the elbows back and down toward the hips. The cue to “pull the bar/band to your sternum” may be helpful here.

CFSBK: helping you jump off cliffs since 2007

1000 Days of South Brooklyn

Eduardo C. recently reached 1000 classes at CFSBK and sent this message to Coach David on the occasion:

I’m sure you hear this often but I wanted to shoot a quick note to say once again THANK YOU. The other day I was checking my payments in Zen Planner and happened to notice that I’ve taken 1000 CFSBK classes (!!) and I really want to thank you and the amazing coaching crew for each one of those classes.

It is not an exaggeration to say that joining CFSBK has fundamentally changed my identity: I used to think of myself as someone who was “good at math” and simply a lost cause regarding anything physical. I was the kind of person who would shy away from most physical activities (e.g. zip lining or jumping from a small cliff) because of embarrassment or fear that I would be the one in a million person that would NOT be able to coordinate a couple of steps and die a sure death 🙂

Since I joined CFSBK, I have not only learned “CrossFit” (starting with Air Squats which I was NOT able to do at first due to poor ankle mobility) but also learned how to swim in open water; I have done triathlons and trail races; played some volleyball and some tennis;  run a marathon, tried Brazilian jiu jitsu, among others. I have also jumped from cliffs! Not to mention other things I have tried/started to learn (e.g. improv classes, Precision Nutrition coaching), which are not necessarily “physical” but I believe still related because what 1000 CFSBK group classes have truly taught me is that there is nothing I cannot improve/learn if I confidently put my mind and heart to it. All of that is even before considering the amazing CFSBK community which is now part of the fabric of my life.

For all the above, many many thanks. See you around.

Congrats, Eduardo. We’re so proud of you and all the other CFSBKers who have become more confident, more adventurous versions of themselves!

Perfection Is the Enemy of Good Enough

By David Osorio 

Editor’s Note: The 2020 Look, Feel, Perform Better Challenge is now in full swing, so today’s we’re bringing you these words of wisdom that we haven’t reposted in quite a while. Even if you’re not doing the Challenge, you’ll probably find it useful. “Perfection Is the Enemy of Good Enough” was originally posted on 1.11.16.

As the Look Feel Perform Better Challenge enters full swing, many of you are diligently working to count your macros and make better decisions at the checkout line and in front of the fridge. We commend your diligence and are here to support your efforts in the online forums, during the bimonthly nutrition lectures, and in person around the gym.

But a public service announcement, perhaps even a warning, is warranted at this early stage of the Challenge. This Challenge is three months long—about as long as a college semester—and the reality is that motivation can wax and wane over a period of this length. The New Year finds everyone on their best behavior, feeling impervious to temptation and carefully planning each and every meal. And then you know how it goes: things get complicated. Life happens. You’re starving after a long, brutal day at work and end up grabbing a couple slices of pizza on the way home.

Remember not to lose sight of the forest for the trees. What’s important is your cumulative effort. Overarching trends—not any particular day, night, and certainly not a single meal—will be the key to making sustainable changes and ultimately looking, feeling, and performing better.

Changing your nutritional habits is like practicing free throws. On different days, because of different circumstances, your success rate will fluctuate. A bad day where you missed 30 shots out of 50 doesn’t negate the next day, when you creep up to a 90% success rate. If you’re out there, practicing and putting in the work, the sum of your efforts will add up to a higher average success rate, which is what we all want.

Maybe you didn’t get any points today. Maybe you had a few slices of pizza and a couple of beers with your friends last night. The world won’t end! There are far more important questions to ask yourself. Are you eating cleaner overall and making more intentional decisions than you were last month? After a couple of weeks, is it getting easier to look at meals and assess how they’ll fit into the bigger picture of your goals? Do you have more “go-to” healthy meals that you enjoy and have become staples of your diet? Do you feel better than you did before you started the Challenge?

In these first couple of weeks, take a moment to remind yourself why you’re doing this and what you’d like to say you accomplished three months from now. It probably won’t be something like, “I didn’t eat a single grain of sugar.” It should be something more like, “I learned how powerful nutrition can be and can confidently say that I’m healthier and happier than I was before I started.”

Are you doing LFPB this year or have you done it in the past? If so, what was the biggest challenge and how did you deal with it?
