Dont' forget that this Saturday is JacIntoStorm '09, to celebrate Jacinto's 70th birthday.
Check out this post for some pictures from last year's storm. We will be doing the same workout with the exception that one rep will be added to each movement. Jacinto will be hosting a BBQ at his house afterwards. More details to follow.

MEBBBK: Max Effort Black Box (Brooklyn!)
Today is the last day of our Mid Hang Power Clean, High Bar Back Squat and Bench Press strength cycle. We're going to encourage a back off week from tomorrow until 7/4 when we'll kick things off with a STORM.
The next cycle's movements are:
Total Body: Push Jerks
Lower Body: Front Squats
Upper Body: Weighted Chin-Ups (Overhand).
For those of you unfamiliar with the MEBB, we choose three movements and cycle them through a descending rep scheme over four weeks. The Max Effort days have been posted in the CFSBK Calendar if you'd like to see how it breaks down through July. Much thanks to Coach Michael Rutherford for developing the MEBB. program.
Notes:
Jerks are following a 5×3, 5×3, 5×1 rep scheme
Foundations Graduates will be doing strict Presses instead of Jerks and follwing a 5×5 rep scheme throughout the entire cycle.
Happy Travels, Margie. We'll see you after the Games!

You don't put the bell down at all – any rest is going to be done in the rack and overhead positions. This complex is a variation of the clean and squat combo that Dan John introduced in the thread Kbell Dbl Clean to Dbl Front Squat.

Congratulations Team NorCal
So the results are in and it seems that we've been bested in our first CFSBK vs. CF NorCal monthly challenge. Both teams put up some great times but NorCal pulled ahead with some super impressive numbers. Needless to say we had a lot of fun but are now focused on next month's Squat Off! Thanks again to everyone who participated on both coasts.
