Brooklyn Elements Workshop started this week. Our next workshop is slated to begin Oct 28th. Yeah, you can sign up but why not come out to one our free classes. Let's see what you're made of first.
Aerialista, Juliana Neves of Cirque du Soleil is in town teaching her craft.
Court W. teaches our Elements Workshops.
This just in, Happy Birthday Tiffany!! When are you going to come visit us already?
yo moon-
can meredith and I swing through at 845 again?
Aw man...normally I would be happy to stay open but on this particular day, I just can't. It's Tiffany's birthday + I've got 2 houseguests coming in to town at some point tonight (+ the one that's already here). So I need to bolt ASAP after the 7:30 WOD class. But maybe another instructor can stay to do a later stay-open. Anyone up?

4 rounds +4 as rx'd (full squat cleans and push jerks)
Did drop the weights which did slow me down. I really wanted to have good form on these but when you are being timed and need to fit in the reps, your form goes to sh#t fast. It becomes a "from the floor to overhead anyhow".
Worked clean and jerks with focus on skill/technique after the WOD.
WOD @ home

pull ups
burpees
double unders (doubled-up on these: 42-30-18)
~11:15
I've been doing chest-to-bar pull ups for almost a quarter of the year now. I'm not seeing any improvement in my ability to do chest-to-bar pull ups. They are still as hard as ever.
The horrible time was due mostly to the double unders. It's really hard to get into a rhythm when you're constantly distracted by the fact that each rope swing is close enough to snag on or knock over something in a cramped Manhattan apartment. My longest string was 15 (on my last set when I finally found the 'sweet spot' centered between obstructions). Aside from that, I had more than a fair share of false starts and singles.
5 ugly rounds (+4 reps)
135# power clean and push jerk
