5 Rounds Not For Time or 15 Minutes:
30 Unbroken Double-Unders
10 Dumbbell Bench Presses, as heavy as possible
3-5 Strict Chin-Ups, as heavy as possible
Post rounds/time and Rx to comments.
If you cannot perform 30 unbroken doubles then practice for a minute and score how many you can link successfully. Work up to a heavy 10 on the dumbbell bench and a challenging 3-5 on the chin-up. That might mean adding weight on one end of the spectrum or using a thin band or light partner assist on the other end.
Check out Matt U.’s video from Fight Gone Bad 2012. We’ve got 2 days left, CFSBK! We’re way past our goal—which means that Brooklyn Community Foundation’s Board is going to match every dollar you’ve put in past $15,000. How can you get weird and up your game in the next couple days?

Dear ______ [insert name],
I know you probably think I’m bananas for doing CrossFit, but I love it so much—largely because my gym, CrossFit South Brooklyn, is so freaking awesome and doesn’t just care about getting “swole” (defined by the Urban Dictionary as the state of being very muscular and/or buff and in good shape), but we also care about helping our neighbors in Brooklyn.
That’s why I need your help! Through this fun competition we’re doing on Saturday, we’re raising money for a local organization called Brooklyn Community Foundation. BCF supports tons of great and important programs in Brooklyn.
Donate here, and I promise to send you a photo of me drenched in sweat after I crush this workout on Saturday. Also, I’ll love you forever!
XXOO _______ [your name]
