Christine (FGB Style)

In this version of Christine, athletes will work in teams of 3.  Athletes will go for max reps in 1 minute at each station.  After the completion of all three stations there will be 1 minute of rest.  This cycle will repeated for a total of 3 rounds.  The stations are:
1. Row (for calories)
2. Deadlift (135#/65#)
3. Box Jumps

Post individual & team reps to comments.

Accessory Work:
When was the last time you worked an L-sit or Ring Support?  Don't remember?  Well, bust out the parallettes and/or grab a set of rings.  Hit 2 or 3 minutes (cumulative) in an L-sit or Ring Support.

Accessory Work
3 Rounds NFT
12 Ring Rows
12 OH PVC Lunges, each Leg
1:20 Plank

Perform the A/W with a small team.  If someone has to rest during the plank the clock stops while everyone else stays up waiting for their partner to come back in before time can start again. If your team completes the first 1:20 unbroken, add :30.

Celebrate the living legend at his house with max consumption of BBQ and Beer in one day.

“To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other.”
-Carlos Castaneda

Remember that we are starting at 11am and running through the 12pm class.  There is no 10am or Teaser today. Enjoy the Storm.

JacintoStorm 2009
The Storm will kick off at 11am tomorrow.  We're going to run it like one large class and have it spill over the 12pm class.  There will be no Teaser or 10am class so that we can set up the space and focus our attention on Jacinto's Birthday WOD.  Try to get there at 11 for the group warm-up and heat assignments, if you get there a little late please warm-up on your own and see us about placement. It's going to be a great day!

SBK on the Farm
As many of you know, there's been talk of a trip to Grazin' Angus Acres in Ghent, New York. Farmer Dan at Grazin' Angus is excited to have the help and has offered us a chance to pitch some tents, work the farm and then send us over to his neighbor Farmer Dante at Milk Thistle Farm. It doesn't get more functional than farming, and just think of all that beef and milk...

Dan is at the NYC markets over the weekend, so ideally we should go up during the week: perhaps a Wednesday - Saturday. If that's not possible, we can make it a weekend only trip, but Dan and Dante will not be around to host us.

If you are interested in this trip, please email Margie(AT)crossfitsouthbrooklyn.com about your availability either July 29-August 2, or August 12-16.
