PRIMAL QUEST
Because we're going to be moving equipment out of the lyceum on Sunday, January 10th, the first meeting for the Primal Quest has been moved back one day to Saturday, January 9th at 1pm. We will be meeting in the Cafe of the Lyceum (no gloves required).  Please RSVP to Margie(AT)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you plan on attending.

Anyone who's expressed interest in helping with the move on Sunday, the Lyceum asked us to move the big stuff after 3pm so we're not disrupting Cafe hours too much. 

Anyone who ordered Jump ropes should pick up their rope. They will be located in a large box by the pull-up bar with a clipboard listing everyone's order details.  After taking your rope, please cross your name off and put the money into the envelope.

5 Rounds for max reps of:
Push-ups
Pull-ups

There  is no time component to this WOD.
Have
you ever tried "Lynne" with strict pull-ups?  How about ring push-ups 
or dips instead of push-ups?

Post reps per round and style to comments.

Shree warms up on the Erg

Today's classes are at 10am, 11am and 12pm

The CRASH B's are fast approaching.  Remember that Coach Nick has provided supplemental Erg workouts to help build capacity on the rower. Check them out here.

Our last day at the Brooklyn Lyceum is Sunday, January 10th.  Our Degraw Street location is near completion and awaiting its final inspection.  If all goes well, we are expected to be in our new home mid January.  A worst case scenario would put us reopening on February 1st after a 20 day black out period. Should that occur, we'll freeze everyone's accounts and provide at home workouts and some opportunities for everyone to get together and train.  Thank you so much to all our members for their patience during this transition.  We're all very excited to offer a significant upgrade in our program once we get into our new space. 

Our last day is Sunday the 10th.  Would anyone be available to help move equipment over that afternoon/evening???

Calling all SBKers: We challenge you to join each other for 6 weeks of clean eating! Take advantage of your "new year, new start" motivation to dial in your diet with the support of the community. All those interested in participating should attend the kickoff meeting on Sunday, January 10 at 1pm where Coach Margie will discuss the "rules of engagement," help set personal goals, offer advice and (optional) take body measurements.

The Quest will run from January 10 to February 21. Those of you who stick to the plan will be eligible to enter a raffle for some sweet prizes.

Thank You
2009 has truly been a transformative year for CrossFit South Brooklyn.  Thanks to our unique community of coaches, athletes and friends, we've managed to substantially increase our member base while maintaining the spirit and integrity of our community and training.  As we move into a new home and continue to expand what we offer and who we are, 2010 will represent a major shift in our history.  This transition will, no doubt, come with challenges,  but given the team we have put together, there’s no doubt that the new year will yield an even stronger community, more fitness and most of all a whole lot more fun.
