HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEB!!! SBK LOVES YOU

If you were stuck on a desert island and could only bring one piece of equipment with you, what would it be? (Unfortunately, all the barbells and bumpers fell overboard too)

21-15-9 reps of
Mid Hang Power Clean or Snatch
Knees to Elbows

135 is Rx'd for the clean and 95 for the Snatch

Accessory Work
Bent Over DB Rows 3×12
1500m Pace Row
While keeping your stroke rating below 25, see if you can hold consistent splits dropping :10 every 300m. This pace row is less about intensity and more about control and technique.
For example:
0-300m 2:30pace / 300-600m 2:20 pace / 600-900m 2:10 pace / 900-1200 2:00 pace / 1200-1500 1:50 pace

Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful responses to yesterdays rest day question.  It's obvious there are many reasons why we stay fit beyond the mental and physical benefits.  I think success with CrossFit requires dedication, integrity and a strong sense of personal responsibility.  These traits are common in our athletes and responsible for the strength of our community.

CrossFit Virtuosity finally gets a home all it's own.  Congratulations Keith, Sam and everyone else from the CFV Crew. Keep your eyes peeled everyone, this program is gonna spread like wild fire.

Remember that on August 1st Tushar is hosting a CrossFit Movie screening at his apartment.  Please email David(at)CrossFitSouthBrooklyn.com if you are interested in attending.  It will be an informal potluck, beer and paleo snacks would be appreciated.

Please remember that even if you're registered with Mind Body Online, you must still sign into the book every day before class.
