Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Every 2 Min X 4 Sets
3 Power Clean + 3 Push Press

Every 2 Min X 4 Sets
2 Power Clean + 2 Push Press

Notes
This is the same exact structure as last week. Refer back to what you did and aim to increase the weights by about 2.5-5%, as technique allows. Generally, the bulk of your lifts should still feel very crisp, with the push press potentially slowing down a bit as we get to heavier loads.

As last week, take each power clean as a single, resting a few seconds between. If you can demonstrate consistent mechanics on your dip and drive, feel free to cycle the push presses today. Otherwise, reset at the rack position for each rep.

Remember if things start to fall apart, use what you learned in our “wave loading” last cycle. Don’t be afraid to come back down to a lighter load to clean things up before moving on to heavier weight!

PARTNER METCON

AMRAP 10 MIN
7 Power Snatches @ 75/55/35#
21 Double Unders

Notes
Intent is 8+ rounds total as a team.

Partners will alternate full rounds of work. Each individual round should be achievable in about 1 min or less. If you are new to snatching or cycling the barbell for multiple reps, scale reps, load, or both as needed to maintain the intent of the workout.

Scaling Option A
5 Power Snatches
15 Double Unders

Scaling Option B
5 Hang Power Snatches
40 Single Unders

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

A1. Back Squat 3×8, building
A2. Incline Dual DB/KB Row 3×12-15 @ 2011 tempo

Notes:
BSQ: Use your numbers from last week’s sets of 10 to guide loading today. Ideally each set is a bit heavier, and building to something that feels like RPE 8/10. Here is one example:

Week 1 work sets: 165, 175, 185#
Week 2 potential work sets: 180, 190, 195#

Rows: hold a 2 second down tempo and pause for 1 sec at the top of each rep. May load with DB’s or KB’s! This will be lighter than what you hit for last week’s single arm heavy 8.

METCON

For Time
1000m Row
200′ DB Suitcase Walking Lunge

Notes
Intent < 10 min

Strategize your row so you can finish, walk to your DB’s, and immediately get to work. It does not pay to go 15 seconds faster on your row if you end up being over your threshold and have to rest after 20′ of lunges!

Lunges will be completed in 20′ segments across the gym, 10 total. Start with toes behind the near line and finish with heels beyond the far line. Turn around and repeat. It might be tempting to cut your last few feet short, but hold the standard on each segment.

DB: 50/35/20# each hand

Scaling Option A
800m Row
160′ Suitcase Walking Lunge

Scaling Option B
650m Row
120′ Walking Lunge (bodyweight)

Workout of the Day

FLOATER STRENGTH

A. Back Squat 3×10, Building
B. 3 Power Clean + 3 Push Press x 6-8 sets
C. Deadlift 3×10, Building
D. Bench Press 3×10, Building

Notes
As always, you may superset your main strength exercise with a non-interfering DB/KB or bodyweight movement!

Tomorrow we have back squat, DB rows, rowing, and lunges.

Clean and Press Complex: Aim to do 1 set about every 2 minutes. The power cleans are not intended to be touch and go. Complete the 3 power cleans each as singles, resting 5-10 sec between them. From your third power clean, continue into the 3 push presses, focusing on a smooth, vertical dip with the weight in mid-foot for each rep.

PARTNER METCON

AMRAP 20:00
Partner A Rows 30/24 Cal while Partner B completes 4 Sandbag Pick Ups + 80′ Bear Hug Carry
Partner B Rows 30/24 Cal while Partner A completes 4 Sandbag Pick Ups + 80′ Bear Hug Carry
Partners A+B Run 400m Together

Notes
Sandbag Carry: 80′ = 4 x 20′ segments of outer tape lines. Choose a weight that you can carry unbroken for 80′.

The row should take 1:30-2:30 each time. Scale calories as needed!

For the rowing and running efforts, start with a sustainable pace you think you could hold for 20 minutes straight. You want to maintain consistent movement throughout, rather than burning out early.

Neither monostructural movement should be so intense as to hinder your ability to perform the sandbag work right after.

Breathe consistently and avoid overexertion.

Coaching alumni Nick Peterson with Sarah, Ryan, Matt and Cloyde hitting an Overhead Squat and Running workout back in 2009. When we were still based out of the Brooklyn Lyceum we would occasionally take the barbells across 4th avenue and perform workouts on the then desolate side street. Barefoot lifting and running in Brooklyn is not advised by the management. 

CFSBKer Matt A is launching a nonprofit called VoteDown

Hey! It’s Matt Abedi. My friend Chris Siragusa and I started a nonprofit called VoteDown. I want to tell you a bit about what we’re trying to do.

Then, I want to encourage you to sign up for a free account and maybe even chip in some money to help us take our project a step further.

The idea behind VoteDown is pretty simple. If you don’t like what a representative or senator does–on any issue–we give you the ability to put money up against them. Tell us what made you upset and our platform works to either get them to change their position or kick them out of office.

If that’s enough for you, please sign up here. 

There’s a major problem with money in politics.

Every major election cycle, over a billion dollars goes from average voters to political machines in the form of donations less than $200. When politicians break their promises to the average voter–tough luck.

That’s not how they treat their big money special interest donors.

In fact, on average, for every dollar special interests spend, they get back $22 from the US government.

The reason for that is when our politicians break their promises to special interests, big money groups start putting together funds to put them out of office. With that money, they can find a new politician with more flexible ideas about what is right and wrong.

Our system literally incentivizes politicians not to listen.

VoteDown turns this dynamic on its head. In some years nearly 60% of congress people could be toppled by just 6,000 donors making an average contribution against them. Popular candidates in non-nationalized elections spend 5-14x less than their opponents.

Your political contributions through VoteDown make it dramatically more likely that politicians face consequences when election time comes around. Instead of hoping to remember why you felt betrayed by another empty suit, VoteDown lets you act now.

Your work on our platform encourages grassroots politicians to challenge lifelong politicians, creates more engaged voters and mobilizes concerned citizens.

We hope you join us. An account is free. And, we only charge a processing fee to cover our costs.

If you want to help move our project along and help us reach more people, please consider giving to our kick starter here.

Free Dynamic Movement sessions with JMD!

Loooooooooong time CFSBK JMD (pictured above) will be hosting FREE movement sessions for CFSBK members! Each session will have a different focus.  However, there will be crossover from week to week.  Folks are encouraged to attend all three sessions.  However, if you can only make it to one, that works too.

All sessions are from 1:15pm-2:30pm. These are free for CFSBK members, limited to 10 slots and folks are encouraged to sign up for all three sessions.

September 21st: Lightness. footwork, agility, jumping and landing
Register Here!
September 28th: Balance. dynamic and stationary. absorbing input, two feet, one foot
Register Here!
October 5th: Sight. steady gaze, tracking, peripheral vision, convergence and divergence, differentiating between movement of the head/neck and eyes
Register Here!

What will we be doing?

During these 75 minute sessions we will engage with a variety of games, drills, tasks, and partner scenarios.  Generally speaking, the goal of these activities will be less about “getting good at them” and more about extracting awareness, skills and insights that we can absorb into our bodies and carry with us into other moments of our life.

Our time together will be informed by the world of ‘‘movement practice”.

What is a movement practice?

There are many ways to answer this question.  Below are a few ideas from people and communities that have inspired and informed my practice:

“A movement practice is a comprehensive approach to physical activity that aims to develop the body and the mind harmoniously.” – APECO movement school

“The goal is to be strong, supple, expressive, coordinated, to develop movement intelligence, and ultimately to thrive in any physical situation.” Republic of Movement

Similar to Crossfit, there are entry points for people of all abilities.Take a look at the instagram accounts linked above and below for a visual sense of the kinds of work we will be engaging with.

3-4 rounds for Quality and Load:
6-8 Kickstand DB/KB RDL, building
:45-1:00 Handstand hold
10-12 Single Leg Calf raises

Notes
On the RDLs, keep your weight in the middle of your front foot, with the knee staying slightly soft throughout. Do not shift to your back leg.

Handstand hold can be wall facing, wall supported, or free standing. Accumulate the time as needed. The movement can be further scaled to an angled wall hold.

Calf Raises can be done at wall or rig for light balance support. If 12 high quality reps to full ROM at bodyweight is no issue for you, add load.

Jen’s reflections on mother nature, her mind, body and the CFSBK community

This year, my annual solo trip was in Norway exploring their stunning fjords and mountains. For me, hiking and being in nature is one of the quickest ways to naturally reset my soul, feel deeply and access my whole being.

Reflecting on this trip, I feel deep gratitude.

For Mother Nature: how beautiful this world is (so many moments I whispered wow to no one but me)

For my body: how she carries me through each day (and up and down a mountain)

For my mind: how it protects (this is too hard, we should stop!) and encourages me (no, we can do this!)

For each experience: how I have a wide range of emotions in one moment, the ability to feel it all, and all of it be real. The good and the challenging.

Which is also what we do at CFSBK. Pushing our bodies and minds and celebrating each win, big or small. The difference is here, I’m not alone. I’m with my community. I believe there’s beauty in both. And yet again as I write this, I feel deep gratitude for my life and this community. 

Thanks!

The UpsideDown Class is now easier to attend than ever!

We dropped the 4 week cycles and now you can join coach Noodles every Monday and Thursday at 6:30pm and Wednesday at 11am for the UpsideDown Class. These classes area open to all CFSBK members with participation counting as one of your weekly classes.

What is the UpsideDown Class?
This class is a modern approach to hand balancing. We will learn rules, and then break them! Great for curious minds and bodies, this class will help expand your practice here at CrossFit. Come advance your capabilities through this inversion work deep dive. Experienced hand balancers and new students are equally challenged and welcome. There is no age limit, or weight limit. Please bring an open mind, patience, and the ability to touch the floor! Pet photos are also encouraged.

About the Instructor:
Suzanne-Michelle (Coach Noodles) is a Pole Artist, Aerialist, Hand Balancer, and Coach. She attended Berklee College of Music as well as graduating various training programs including the American Academy of Personal Training in Boston, MA. Suzanne-Michelle (Suzy) is a certified pole instructor and trainer with over a decade of teaching experience in all areas. Students can expect individualized constructive criticism on form and flow and a passion for their personal growth. As an instructor, she strives to create an all inclusive, uber positive environment. She would also love to see all of your pet photos.

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

A1. 4 x 3-5 False Grip Ring Pull Up
A2. 4 x 30 Sec Parallette L-Sit `

Notes
Begin each rep with elbows locked in a full hang. Notice how the athlete in the video turns the knuckles OUT at the bottom of each rep, which allows for easier lockout.

This is new territory for a lot of us! If you’re developing that false grip strength, it’s OKAY to use a high box near the rings and to reset your grip on each rep as needed. These could even be 3-5 singles with 10-15 sec rest between. Pull as high as possible on each rep. Whatever scaling option you use, it should be one that allows you to finish with the hands/rings in physical contact with your chest.

We’ll have several options available for the L-Sits.

PARTNER METCON

8 Rounds for Time
8 ea Single Arm KB Front Rack Squat @ 32/24/16kg
16 Abmat Sit Ups

*While Partner A completes a round, Partner B is rowing for max meters.

Notes
Athletes complete 8 rounds total as a team, 4 rounds each. Intent is < 12 min.

In this workout, both partners will be working the entire time. As one partner completes a round of squats and sit ups, the other partner will accumulate meters on the row. When the last sit up is completed, athletes switch roles. Partner B completes 1 round of squats/sit-ups while Partner A rows. Do not reset the monitor during the workout.

Score is two-fold: your time to complete the rounds AND your total meters rowed.

Choose a relatively challenging KB weight for 8 reps unbroken on each side.

Welcome (back) to CFSBK!

ICYMI here’s a short video we ask new folks to watch. It explains where to find the programming, (duh, here) how to track your workouts, what floater days are and how to keep in touch with the gym.

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

Every 2 Min X 4 Sets
3 Power Clean + 3 Push Press

Every 2 Min X 4 Sets
2 Power Clean + 2 Push Press

Notes
The intention for today is to work our technique! Across this cycle we will see a variety of shoulder-to-overhead movements coupled with the power clean. Use this first exposure to dial in your understanding and mechanics of each movement. Start at very light loads and build, using weights that allow for correct positioning, posture, and timing.

The power cleans are not intended to be touch and go. Complete them each as singles, resting 5-10 sec between. From your third power clean, continue into the 3 push presses, again resetting with a dead stop at the rack position between each. Focus on a smooth, vertical dip with the weight in mid-foot for each rep.

From Catalyst Athletics: “The push press is an effective supplementary exercise for the jerk that trains the same dip and drive, timing of the transition from leg drive to push with the arms, upper body mechanics for the push under the jerk, and builds upper body strength… The dip and drive of the push press should be identical to your jerk—this is one of the primary reasons it’s such an effective training exercise.”

METCON

Buy In: 25/20 Cal Bike

Notes
Intent < 10 min

The two cardio movements should be in the realm of 1:30-2:30 at a challenging pace. Anything longer than that, scale the volume back as suggested below.

Aim for perfect push ups today — body remains rigid throughout, chest and thighs touch the ground, elbows fully extended at the top of each rep. Do not allow the elbows to flare out to the sides or the hips to pike up or sag down.

Choose a heavy KB weight that you can complete 15 reps unbroken.

Another day in the office

Playing with Push-Ups

Impressive push-up variations from the 2007 CrossFit archives:

Workout of the Day

STRENGTH

A1. Back Squat 3×10, building
A2. Three Point DB Row, build to heavy 8 ea side @ 2111 tempo

Notes
Rest as needed between the two exercises, for example 30-45 sec after the squats and 60-90 sec after the rows. After 2-3 warm up sets, work up to a challenging but perfect 10 on the back squat in 3 working sets. Next week there will be 8 reps, followed by 6 reps, and 4×4 on the fourth week of this cycle.

For longer sets like this, find the balance of breathing and bracing to support good movement. Don’t rush through the set. Be deliberate. If your bar speed and mechanics are consistent, add weight!

On the DB Rows, use a @ 2111 tempo: 2 seconds down, 1 sec reset at bottom, 1 sec squeeze up, 1 sec pause at top. Starting with your weaker side, try to find the limit for an 8 rep count today.

ASSISTANCE

3-4 sets for Quality/Load:
8-12e Front Foot Elevated Reverse Lunges
10-15 Seated Bent Over Reverse Flyes
20-30 Tuck ups

Notes:
Focus on great positions and consistent tension on the assistance work. Rest as needed between exercises.

Lunges: Stand on a 2-4″ rise (plates work well) and load the lunges with Dumbbells or Kettlebells held in the carry position of your choice. They are not alternating. This should get HEAVY by the third set.

Use plates or DB’s to load the reverse flyes.

BIASES

In this cycle, co-written by Coach Erick and Coach Whit, we’ll see three days with strength training progressions, two days of variance, and two floater strength days. Building off of your strict upper body pulling work in the previous cycle, we’ll develop and challenge our gymnastic skill now with progressions on the rings! And after seeing the Snatch and Clean consistently for the past two cycles, we’ll switch things up and practice Power Clean and Shoulder-to-Overhead variations incorporated together.

We’ve got a bit of everything: squat, pull, hinge, push, move light loads long distances quickly, and strive for virtuosity in body control! Metcons and Assistance work will round things out and provide the CrossFit variance we know and love. Bring your best effort to the next 8 weeks and dial in your recovery (sleep, stress, nutrition, hydration) as best you can in order to keep training hard and having fun!

SCHEDULE

Monday: Back Squat/DB Row Variations
Tuesday: Power Clean + Shoulder-to-Overhead Complexes
Wednesday: Gymnastic Strength (Rings Focus)
Thursday: Floater Strength
Friday: Varied (with a Hinge pattern bias)
Saturday: Varied
Sunday: Floater Strength

PROGRESSIONS

Mondays / Superset: Back Squat and DB Row Variations

WK 1: BSQ 3×10
WK 2: BSQ 3×8
WK 3: BSQ 3×6
WK 4: BSQ 4×4
WKs 5-8: Repeat 1-4

Tuesdays / Power Clean + Shoulder-to-Overhead Complexes

We will start off the cycle with Power Cleans + Push Presses, using light to moderate loads and dialing in technique. Across the 8 weeks, you will see push presses, push jerks, and split jerks. While we will obviously train power and strength here, it’s also a great opportunity to improve our coordination, agility, and accuracy. One good goal is to develop as much consistency as possible in the mechanics of the dip for the shoulder-to-overhead movement, regardless of which variation you’re performing week to week.

Wednesdays / Gymnastic Strength (Rings Focus)

Body control, baby! Building off of the strict pulling strength we developed in the last cycle with Monday’s Chin Up progressions, we’ll practice pushing and pulling on the rings, super-setting with isometric holds. The goal for this day is to increase confidence and improve mechanics on the rings, with progressions and scaling options to make this accessible for every athlete.

Thursdays + Sundays / Floater Strength

You know it, you love it… can you handle it being on a different day than Friday? On our Floater days, athletes will have 3-4 options to incorporate strength work they might otherwise miss. If you’re not sure what to do, ask your Coach. And if you’re currently training 7 days a week… please stop and take a rest day!
