Why do and should we care about nutrition? Isn’t it enough that we come to CrossFit and work hard?

Attend this Look Feel Perform Better Q&A Info Session, the first in our bi-monthly Q&A Info Sessions this year. These sessions will function more as a support group setting than a true lecture, though they will begin with a lecture. In this particular session, we’ll discuss how and why what you feed yourself with has direct impact on your performance and body composition. An open Q&A will follow.

Where: CFSBK’s second floor Annex
When: Thursday, January 7th at 6:30pm

Snatch | WOD 12.31.15

Posted on Thursday, December 31, 2015

Snatch Balance + Overhead Squat

Bar comes out of the rack. Work up a heavy load on the complex for the day. The Snatch Balance should be received near the bottom of the squat. If it’s caught higher there should be no discernible pause in the squatting movement. Fully recover the snatch balance before completing the overhead squat. 

Review the Snatch Balance here.

Post time and Rx to comments.


The CrossFit Open starts on February 25th. This is the first phase in the CrossFit competitive season and lets you rank your fitness against the rest of the world. Last year, over 272,000 people participated in the open! The LFPB challenge is a great opportunity to jump start your ability to perform better in this year’s events. If you’re an Open veteran or a first timer curious as to how you stack up, NOW is the time to start refining your inputs and skill work to help you give it all come February. For many of us weekend warrior CrossFitters, this is an exciting benchmark to our year and uses a little competitive fire to help you get the most out of your training, nutrition, and recovery.

Coach DO has been the competition director for the North East/East Regions for the past six years and on top of helping run the Regionals, he leads a crew that helps verify video submissions for the North East and Canada east regions. Here is his video submission for 14.2, the second event in 2014. In 2015 we saw this same exact workout come up again. Coach DO was able to get 14 more reps which according to the comments section required him to “stop feeling sorry for myself and bust ass to get to the next round.” Will we see Overhead Squats in the 2016 Open? Undoubtedly! Get after it today people!

Want to Work at the Front Desk?? 

CFSBK is looking for new talent to staff our beloved Front Desk! Responsibilities include handling inquires from walk-ins, managing basic membership issues, light cleaning/organization, and other miscellaneous duties. Ideally, we’d like to hire from within so that candidates are already familiar with CrossFit and CFSBK, but we are open to talking to new folks if they’ve got good people skills and are committed to joining the gym.

On top of an hourly wage, Front Desk staff will also receive a comped membership. We are looking for people who keep a consistent schedule and commit to six months of work with us (barring extenuating circumstances). Preference will be given to candidates with the flexibility to change shifts in the new year. 

We will be interviewing this month and hiring a new staff member for immediate training. The shifts we are looking to fill are below, so before applying, please make sure these openings fit with your schedule: 

Mondays 4:15pm – 9:45pm
Saturdays 11:00am – 4:15pm
 

Email Janelle [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com to inquire and include Front Desk in the subject line.

Rest Day

Posted on Tuesday, December 29, 2015

Tom S. shredding the gnar at Alta Ski Area, an old-school skiers-only place (no snowboarders) in Little Cottonwood Canyon, about 45 minutes from Salt Lake City, Utah. Tom reps the CFSBK sticker on the bottom of his skis, and says that sticker is all over this resort, even on his kid’s helmet!

Tom has been skiing 35+ years (!). In his words: “My parents took my sister and me on a trip to Stowe, Vermont in the late 70’s, and I was hooked. In the last decade or so, I have really applied myself, and taken advantage of the terrain, especially in places like Utah, and Wyoming—both beautiful and gnarly! I love the fresh air, the challenges on the hill, making friends (skiers are that way, especially apres) and getting my sons hooked has only deepened my love for the sport. And CrossFit helps!”

Before 608, before the Annex, before 597, before the Brooklyn Lyceum, there was St. Mary’s Playground. Here is a flyer from 2007 when CFSBK was just David Osorio in a park with a handful of people meeting on Sunday mornings. A little reminder that nothing beats persistence, hard work, and love for what you do. Thank you to all of our amazing coaches and the rest of our community for carrying the torch!

A safer way to do high box jumps! If you remember Coach David’s Inside the Affiliate article, “4 Common Exercises That Could Hurt Your Members,” we said we weren’t fans of max height box jumps onto hard boxes and stacks of bumpers. Our new foam plyo boxes and using go mats for variations less than 6″ allows for safer jumping and missing.

Are you participating in the 2016 Look Feel Perform Better Challenge? Complete the following steps by January 5th in order to participate and be eligible for prizes:

  • Sign your name on the big list in the community area of the gym.
  • Buy-in of $30 cash, given to Front Desk staff. 
  • Answer a few brief questions and submit your “before” photos here. These entries are private will not be published or seen by anyone other than us without your consent.
  • Perform the Test WOD and record your results. This WOD will be programmed on December 30th, but can easily be performed on your own at Open Gym.
  • Begin tracking points earned daily on the spreadsheet (which will be live soon!) based on how well you’re complying with the guidelines and submit 4 and 8 week check-in submissions.
  • Optional: Attend the bi-monthly LFPB Q&A Info Sessions at CFSBK. Each one will have a brief topical lecture and a Q&A. The dates for these sessions are 1/7, 1/21, 2/4, 2/18, 3/3, and 3/18. The first discussion on January 7th is titled, “Why Should I Care About Nutrition Anyway?“

Want to Work at the Front Desk?? 

CFSBK is looking for new talent to staff our beloved Front Desk! Responsibilities include handling inquires from walk-ins, managing basic membership issues, light cleaning/organization, and other miscellaneous duties. Ideally, we’d like to hire from within so that candidates are already familiar with CrossFit and CFSBK, but we are open to talking to new folks if they’ve got good people skills and are committed to joining the gym.

On top of an hourly wage, Front Desk staff will also receive a comped membership. We are looking for people who keep a consistent schedule and commit to six months of work with us (barring extenuating circumstances). Preference will be given to candidates with the flexibility to change shifts in the new year. 

We will be interviewing this month and hiring a new staff member for immediate training. The shifts we are looking to fill are below, so before applying, please make sure these openings fit with your schedule: 

Mondays 4:15pm – 9:45pm
Saturdays 11:00am – 4:15pm
 

Email Janelle [at] CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com to inquire and include Front Desk in the subject line.
