Primal Quest's first meeting is today at 1pm.  To better health!

Crash B Rowers are meeting at 11am today.

We'll start the move tomorrow at 1pm after the last class.  With enough help, it shouldn't take too long and we can all go out to eat afterward.  Everyone will be assigned to small teams with specific tasks. More information to come on tomorrow's post. Don't worry if you've got to cut out early as all help is appreciated. If you've got some tools (wrenches) to help disassemble the pull-up bar, please post to comments.

What workout or kind of workout do you think will come out of the "hopper" tomorrow?

Metronome Push-ups

Congratulations to all the PRs on yesterday's belated CrossFit Total. Thanks again to Coaches Jeremy and Margie for staying late to run it.

Tomorrow at 1pm is the first meeting for our Primal Quest Nutrition Challenge.  We'll be meeting in the Lyceum cafe to discuss the rules of engagement.

Sunday at 1pm is our big move to Degraw Street! We'll need as many hands on deck as we can get. Please email David(AT)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you can help out and if you've got a vehicle we can use. Also, any thoughts on where we should go to eat afterwards?

(E4/4) L1 5×3 Sets Across/L2 Max Effort

In order to accommodate for the final workout on Sunday, we're Deadlifting today.  If you pulled on Monday and at the previous Total, don't attempt another max. You've already gotten a recent heavy single so pull a 5×3 with moderate weight and perfect technique.

Conditioning
Row 2-3 five minute pieces on the Erg.  Your goal is to maintain a consistent split and stroke rating as accurately as you can for the entire piece. This emphasis here is not intensity, it's about control and technique. Choose a low stroke rating (18, 20 or 22) and drop :10-:15 each attempt. Coach Nick can help advice on choosing your split. Rest approximately 5 minutes between attempts.

Privates are individualized sessions designed to address your specific needs. Your Coach will work with you to assess those needs and help you establish movement competency while building a base of strength and conditioning. This is a great option for anyone who has specific concerns or wants to tailor their training to reach a particular goal. You can also use Personal Training to individually prepare you for our general Group classes.  Additionally, we also offer semi private and small group training.
