Programming Note:
We've been really happy with the progress everyone's been making on their Power Snatches.  We'd like not to lose momentum on all this technique building so the "Pull" variant on our next cycle will be Power Snatches again.  Please remember to put your training in perspective and make conservative jumps.

Our next Mobility and Recovery Intensive is just around the corner!
For many athletes, mobility and soft tissue restrictions are one of the biggest barriers to performance and reasons for injury.   While you won't put a clock to it, everyone should be attacking their body work with the same intensity they attack WODs with.  Our MRI is designed to give you guys the tools to do personalized movement prep work before and after workouts.  Plus, you leave with your own Foam Roller and Soft Tissue Ball!

Get all the details here or register here

"The diagnostics were great. They put me in touch with mobility issues I never really knew I had.  Learning the ways to cope with those issues was huge…I'd take it again." – Chris A

Congratulations to everyone who competed at CRASH-B's yesterday.  A big thank you to Coach Nick for all the time and effort he put into preparing our team for the event.  Coach Nick has had a huge influence on our community and training since he's started with us and we couldn't have done this without him.  Thanks also to Dan R and Asta F for taking pictures and everyone who came out to support our athletes.

Mobility and Recovery at CrossFit South Brooklyn
Want to be more flexible?  Move better? Perform better? Just feel better? Have you been "kinda stretching sometimes, sorta", but making little if any progress? Many folks recognize that they have range of motion deficits but are not sure how to go about getting results in reducing them.
…We can help!

We're rolling our next Mobility and Recovery Intensive.  It will be held at 12pm on the following days:
Sat 2/20,  Sun 2/28,  Sat 3/6  and  Sat 3/13

We're excited about the new format for the MRI which now also includes a Foam Roller and Self Myofacial release ball for all attendants. For more information on the cycle, click here or Register Here!

Have you taken the Mobility and Recovery Intensive before? What did you think of it?

Upgrade!
We installed some storage shelves and a coat rack in the room by the espresso machine.  When you get in, please put your stuff in that room instead of on the benches. Does anyone have any extra coat hangers they're willing to part with?  Please post to comments if you do, we only need like 5-8 more.

Lost Ünd Found
We have a very large container full of clothing, ice skates, glasses and more water bottles than we know what to do with.   The LÜF will be out by the small desk all week, please go through it before you leave and see if anything is yours.  Most of the items have been there for more than 3 months, whatever we don't clear out by next Monday will be donated to charity.  Get it!
