Dinner and a Movie – SBK style
As some of you know, the documentary Food Inc is opening soon at Film Forum. The film "reveals surprising—and often shocking truths—about what we eat, how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where we are going from here." For those of you familiar with Michael Pollan, this is basically Omnivore's Dilemma plus. It has been getting great advanced reviews.
For our next food/nutrition experience, we'll see the film and then have a paleo(ish) potluck at Margie's new digs, co-hosted by Malcolm and Laurel. The added twist on the potluck is that everything must be locally sourced – detailed rules to follow. The potluck will take place on Saturday, June 20th at 6pm.
Please email Margie(AT)crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com ASAP to indicate whether you prefer to see a late afteroon/early evening showing on Sunday, June 14 or an evening showing on Tuesday, June 16.

We're starting a new MEBB strength cycle today. We'll be rotating Mid Hang Power Cleans, High Bar Back Squats and Bench presses over the next three weeks as well as some skill work and Posterior Chain moves. Some of you may remember the TREMENDOUS gains people were making at the beginning of the year when we did an "Effort CrossFit" cycle. Check out the calendar for more info!

In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike's favorites and he'd named it 'Body
Armor.' From here on it will be referred to as 'Murph' in honor of the
focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than
to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what
it is. Read more…

This Sunday at 11am, we will finally be getting our Murph on! Regular 10am, 11am and 12pm classes will be canceled, so that we can all do this workout together.
The workout consists of the following:
1 mile run
100 pullups
200 pushups
300 squats
1 mile run
The pullups/pushups/squats can happen in any order and combination, but the workout must begin and end with the runs.
For those of you less accustomed to very high volume workouts, please consider scaling to:
1/2 mile run
50 pullups
100 pushups
150 squats
1/2 mile run
Afterwards, we'll head to Prospect Park, Grand Army Entrance for a picnic/BBQ to refuel and celebrate Laurel's bday. Some food will be provided, but everyone should bring whatever they want for grilling and chowing down. We should get there by about 1:30pm.
Happy Birthday Laurel and Allan!!!

South Brooklyn versus NorCal
It's a well known fact that CrossFit Norcal's athletes and trainer's are a bunch of chumps. Lets prove it to them with the first of many SBK/Norcal affiliate challenges. Our first competition will be "Jackie" on Saturday, June 20th. Athletes will perform one round of: Row 1K, 50 Thrusters at 45lbs, and 30 pull-ups for time. The affiliate with the lowest cumulative time wins! More details to come.
