CrossFit NYC: The Black Box

For all you crazy myspace kids, I've now given the "CrossFit NYC The Black Box" myspace page its own easy-to-remember URL:

www.myspace.com/crossfitnyc

So if you haven't already myspaced us, do so now. (Thanks again to Allison2 for setting up the page in the first place.)

I can't believe how much I would have rather done Mugging Gone Bad in the Park than wake up at 6:30 am for a soccer tournament in Crown Heights that finally got started at noon, with half my team not showing up and the other half wussing out and leaving before the last game.

I felt like carving 'Don't be a pussy!' on their backs with my cleats.

Crossfitters rule.

Looks like it was a great time!

Big ups to those members of the CrossFit Karaoke Team who rallied from closing Sing-Sing last night to making it to the park today!

7 Rounds: Sub 45% BW OHS, 25 lbs Weighted PU's

Inspired by the video I decided to try the infamous kettlehell workout. Um....who was the sadist who came up with that? I finished it, but it was u-g-l-y and I forgot to start my stop watch. Then I did a 6k row. I sometimes wonder if we are sane.

Allison & Josh- I don't know how you two got up and out this morning. I decided it was best to lay around and nap with my baby Boo most of the day before taking him to the park.

Inspired by the nice people who called to tell me I'm lazy and I suck - I punished myself by doing 2 rounds of 30 burpees in front of my house. My 15 year old neighbor and his friends volunteered to count for me.

I want a brownie..

God damn I am pale.

i was thinking the exact same thing. (not about u jeff-about me) all day. and now its up there for me to look at just in case i was kidding myself.

oh well fit and fair is better than fat and tan.

I hope.

I can't wait to do the WOD tomorrow!

I'll be back on Wednesday

Since yesterday's park excursion went so well, I decided to take the gang out to Bryant Park this morning for some sprints and kettlebell juggling.

Thanks Keith. I can't wait to sit down and read this when I get some free time today.

Keith, the link is no good.

wod from yesterday, bwt 205lbs, scaled way back...

135lbs OHS
35lbs Pullups

8 rounds in 20:06

All ohs unbroken, should have gone heavier, Pullups were pretty weak today.

Prediction: Wednesday's WOD will involve Handstand Pushups (e.g., Diane).

Hey everyone. You guys look great in those pics.
Did yesterdays WOD.
Scaled big time cuz my OHS sucks.

7 rounds + 4 pullups in 20 minutes
Weighted pullups with 53lb kettlebell on thick bar
95lb OHS

Getting over a cold that I got while on my Memorial day excursion(figures). Great job everyone, and Adam, your a beast.

Good news. Saw my doc today and she cleared me to climb - easy! No presses, no sumo, no pullups. But I can deadlift. She says it takes a true 6 months to recover from a CV join sprain. So I'm half way there. But my relief is that I haven't lost my summer. No 5.10, but 5.7 ain't bad.

Best, Kim

PS: I like this sports medicine doc. Because she's a DO rather than an orthopod she doesn't believe surgery is the answer to everything. Lastly, she takes insurance unlike my other DO who was so good he could afford to be out of everyone's network.

great news kim!

Tonight's 6pm class, since it's too crowded to sprint in Bryant Park at this hour:

AMRAP 12 min.:

9 deadlifts at your choice of weight (then clean the bar, so you can do...)
12 thrusters
15 burpee box jumps

Great Kim--maybe we'll see you in class soon. Had a great workout today

1 min work each exercise then rest 1 min/repeat 3x:
45#thrusters
16kg KB swings
I lost count, am sure Keith wrote it down in his book though.

Then I did:
10 95# DL
10 pushups
Repeat 5x: 6:17

Boy did I bitch and complain but I sure felt euphoric later!
