The Black Box (Manhattan) will be closed for classes this weekend (Feb. 27th & 28th).
We will be hosting CrossFit Mobility and Recovery Certifications (which most of our coaching staff will attend). Originally, we had planned to host only a single one-day certification on Saturday, February 27th. When we made this decision, we expected that February 27th would be a Rest Day, and that attendance would be at its lowest.
Subsequently, CrossFit HQ altered the normal 3-on/1-off routine by having an unprecedented four WOD's during a single cycle. (The fourth WOD was in honor of the soldiers killed at Fort Hood.) Because the Saturday, February 27th certification sold out so quickly, we agreed to hold a second certification on Sunday, February 28th, which will be a Rest Day.
We make nothing for hosting. The complementary slots we receive are all donated to our coaching staff.
If you are interested in doing the Saturday WOD at Black Box Brooklyn and/or doing a Rest Day WOD on Sunday, please post to comments, so we can decide whether to add extra classes in Brooklyn. Thanks.

As a service to CFBK members, we are providing a color-blindness test; can you spot the color red?
Got a quick call from Torch tonight, he was on his first liberty and horse as hell. Says he's lost about 20 (?!) lbs, and they are already doing the advanced obstacles, so away we go...most of the food they're eating is crap but they need the calories. Therefore, we are organizing some major care packages for Torch; he says things in bar form would be great but I'm sure that items both paleo and haute cuisine would not be turned away. We get his address in the next week or so, so start thinking of things you would like to send to him.

On SDHP's, pull the bar to make contact under the chin. On pulls to inverted hang, keep arms, trunk, hips, and legs as straight as possible, both up and down. This is not for time.
The SDHP is a "pull" that is really a "push." Can you elaborate?
