It's a Rest Day on the main site, so I thought we should revive a CFNYC-created WOD that's an oldie but goodie:
Monday 081027
For time:
50 Back Squats, 135# (men)/95# (women)
15 laps* Double Overhead Waiter's Walk with Kettlebells, 2x24kg (men)/2x16kg (women)
Post time to comments.
Compare to 071019.
*Please note that one "lap" is down the length of the gym and back.

Zach, mid-burpee, is kind enough to model his Black Box t-shirt for us:
Also, a very happy birthday to one of the Black Box's founding members, Ewen. Sorry you can't see his face in this pic but that's a bad-ass squat and I felt the need to share it. (Here's another pic of Ewen where you can actually see what he looks like!)
I'd like to be able to make-up Elizabeth. It only takes a little over 9 minutes, so I won't tie up a bar for very long

I'd love to make up Elizabeth as well, if possible :)
The Second Annual Black Box Manhattan Christmas-Hanukkah-Kwanzaa-Kabbalah-Scientology-Non-Denominational-I-Just-Like-To-Drink Party.
As my calendar is rapidly filling up with various holiday festivities, I noticed no date has yet to be set for the above mentioned event. Nothing quite says holiday cheer as tabata and burpee shots.
1. Are we having one?
2. When?
I suggest Thursday December 11th, Friday December 19th or Saturday December 20th.
Anyone have halloween plans for Friday or Saturday? I might make it up for the weekend.
Hey Gabe (and everybody else),
The Black Box Brooklyn will be hosting a Halloween party on Friday the 31st. Come check out our super-spooky haunted basement! Hang out with the frighteningly fit! Show off your costume in our pull-up-cage photo booth! Eat, drink, and make merry!

made up elizabeth at nysc
subbed regular dips - 12:10
Alison, that sounds great. My friends are going to some big blowout $100/person halloween party that I want nothing to do with. Now to find a costume.
Made up Elizabeth today, as rx'd, 5:50 (powercleans cause I can't quite squat clean yet)
16:49 135# bs, sub 16kg kettle bells
16:47! (take that Steve!) 135# sub 16kg KB's
Brutal WOD...
Did Elizabeth in 10:13, with full squat cleans, PR by 1 minute+
fatigued really fast on the ring dips
did elizabeth for first time ever. um not sure i want to post the score but well-its going to have to count for something later on
used 55lb
actually did the squat cleans. yuck
did ring dips. yuck
spent a few minutes during wod lowering rings and doing cat cows bc my lower back hurt after the first 21. i hope next time not to do any extra curricular activities DURING THE WOD! thx for letting me do that allison. Gabe u could have done about 5 elizabeths in my time. cripes.
duh- 29:40. yep thats why i did not want to post it.
ugh stupid wod its squat cleans!
28:22 as RX'd
I have to say, walking around with 2 24kg kettle bells overhead was not my smartest decision today.
Michelle, if I had done the full squat cleans, it would be a lot closer to your time. I was able to smoke the ring dips after taking three days off and that helped my time, ALOT.
Happy Birthday, Ewen!
