Ladies of the Competition Class
CrossFit South Brooklyn Competition Team!!
CrossFit South Brooklyn is proud to announce the launch of it's newest class, SBK Competition Team. This class is for the advanced CrossFitter who has an interest in competing in CrossFit on the regional and national level. Programming is challenging and focused. Attention is paid to the more esoteric aspects and full squat versions of the Olympic lifts, advanced gymnastics skills, team workouts, and WODs that hit harder in general. Scaling options for these WODs are little to none and srtict ROM standards are enforced. We’ve invited a few athletes to join the beta version of the class based on either previous participation in competitive CrossFit events, an expressed desire to compete, or the ability to do most if not all WODs Rx’d (and with competitive results). We’re stoked to put together a team to represent South Brooklyn at the CrossFit Games and other events this year! The class currently meets on Tuesday at 7pm and Sunday at noon and is by invitation only. Email Christian@CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com or Jeremy@CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com for info.

I…um…cheated…on the Paleo Challenge…now what?
by Chris Fox
So, you were out to dinner/lunch/brunch/drinks/whatever with family/co-workers/significant other/friends/enemies/whoever, and in a moment of weakness had a big plate of pasta/pizza/bread/potatoes/whatever…now what? Are you a failure? A loser? You had a burger WITH the bun? Seriously, do you have zero will power? Why can you not follow through with this thing for 60 days?
Fret not, folks. This is but a road bump on the highway to better living. You “cheated”, so what? The mountains will not crumble, the ground will not open up and suck you in, and, you are NOT destined to keep repeating the same pattern. What do you do? Pick it back up right where you left off. Simply make sure the next meal you have falls within the guidelines you set for yourself. Remember those goals and photos? Take a look at them. Reassure yourself that you are doing better now than you did before then, and you will be doing better in the future. Keep doing the best you can. The biggest mistake you can make is to tell yourself you “fell off the wagon” and are back into old habits. That is a self destructive though process and an excuse to keep “cheating”. Just get right back into your groove. Bad habits are hard to break, and (News Flash!) you’re gonna mess up every so often. The good news is that all habits are hard to break, and the more good choices you make for yourself the more you are ingraining yourself with good habits. There’s a whole bevy of cohorts and coaches in your corner cheering you on to do well.
The CFSBK Olympic Weightlifting Cycle!
Want to spend 8 weeks improving your olympic lifts? Check out our upcoming Olympic Weightlifting Cycle. The class will focus on mechanical efficiency and technical proficiency emphasising proper position, tempo and finally load. The program is comprised of full squat variations of the lifts, squats and a selection of basic plyometrics and assistance exercises.
Whether you are looking to be a better Olympic lifter or Crossfitter this class will help improve your numbers and cut your WOD times.

A testimonial from John J:
"Today (12/28) two young guys snatched my phone on 7th ave. and ran for it up Lincoln Pl. I typically never talk on the phone on the street, but it was blizzard-transportation-coordination-related, so a rare exception.
Dan H3 concurs the Muscle Up last friday!
Due to a filming segment for ABC's Nightline with Robb Wolf and Art DeVany, we will not be holding Open Gym tonight from 5:30-7:30pm. Wish us luck, everyone!
The Paleo Potluck is tomorrow! We've got almost 50! people attending. Huzzah!
Tough Titsday is fast approaching!

Mitch Gaylord: Olympic Excellence
I hesitated for a moment, figuring it was a lost cause, giving them about a 5 second lead. Then I thought, "lift heavy things, sprint occasionally…" so I gave chase. Realizing I'd catch them in a half a block, they ditched the phone, crossed the street, and walked away.
I'm not at all sure what I'd have done had I caught up with them, so I'm really glad it turned out the way it did. But I'll admit it was fun to run down fleeing thieves. I'd say this was the first real-world high-adrenaline situation where I felt the benefits of Crossfit profoundly. (Note I would not have done this if it were not the middle of the day with plenty of witnesses…)"
Potluck Tonight!
Tonight is the Paleo Potluck! The event starts at 6pm and we're hoping to wrap things up by about 9pm. If anyone could stay after for a bit and help clean up it would be greatly appreciated. We've had a tremendous amount of people respond and we couldn't be more excited about getting everyone together to eat and socialize. Also remember that Erica and Greg N are hosting an after-party at their apartment. If you'd like to attend, please email erica.nofi(at)yahoo.com
See you all tonight!
