Photographer Needed for Sectionals this Weekend

All of our resident photographers are booked this weekend.  If you're free 12:30p-4p on Saturday and comfortable with a digital SLR camera we'd love to have you document Sectionals WOD #2.  Don't have a camera? No worries, we'll provide one.  If you're interested, please contact David at David(AT)Crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com

Saturday Schedule Change Reminder

Remember there is NO 12pm class, Active Recovery or CF Kids class due to the Sectionals.  All other classes run as usual.

Set up before a clock, and every minute on the minute perform 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats. Can you continue for thirty minutes? Twenty minutes? How about 10? Post results to comments. If you fall behind the clock keep going for thirty minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.

If you've finished the workout before this time add +1 to each exercise, i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute, and see if you can go the full thirty minutes. We've seen +3. Any +4's?

Post rounds completed and Rx to comments.
