    Let’s talk about an Advanced Olympic Weightlifting club/class… Who’s interested? How do we make this a reality?

    God knows I don’t want to go all the way out to the Lost Battalion Hall in Queens. 

    Rego Park (not nearby) Queens!!!

    • Asegal04

      I would be interested in Olympic lifting classes. I don’t know if I fall into the advanced category, which is exactly why I would like to see this implemented.

      • Steve Slo

        I suppose I chose to use the term advanced as a more socially acceptable placeholder for “exclusive” because I imagine that resources are limited and demand is high. I think the ideal situation would be less of a class, and more of a coach-supervised club for those who have already effectively internalized the cues that are offered in the regular WOD classes. (This is a class of participants that I might not yet be qualified enough to join, but it would give me something to work towards). Perhaps coach-approval is a condition to participating? Perhaps there is an added fee? (although I hate the idea of pricing out eager participants). I’m just brainstorming here… and there are no bad ideas in brainstorming!!!

        [tangent] The dude sitting next to me on the N train just polished off 4 Mc-Fish-Fillet-Things just now. I’m in awe. He’s kind of my hero. He doesn’t give a shit… [end tangent]

        But yeah…I’ve seen this discussion raised and then left to wither on the vine a few times now… I guess my primary question is for Josh/Hari/Court: Is this is even a possibility? Is this a discussion worth having?

        • Funny enough, was trading emails with Kevin about this just yesterday. Stay tuned.

          • Dickie

            Ha!

    • I am actually fairly close to the lost battalion hall, I didn’t know they had a weight lifting club, that’s awesome! I would be interested in more oly training but I’m unsure of how to fit it into regular crossfit training… 

      • Steve Slo

        Yeah… It looks pretty great.

          I’ve gone before and the coaches there are great but I was the only woman in the whole facility which made me feel a little awkward, plus the times of the classes are limited. The Oly lifters are surrounded by old ping pong players too which makes it interesting.

        • Swilsonjm

          So weird I was just doing some research into this club last night…I would definitely be interested in some extra Oly classes

    • Anonymous

      I’m in!

    • Mikesenft

      I’ve trained with Greg Everett (USAWF coach) out in CA, and had considered joining Lost Batallion team for competition but for distance myself. I have relatively extensive Oly experience – happy to be a part and/or help out, as time permits.

  • For those of you who are doing Cleans tomorrow (or today since this is tomorrow’s blog post) – this vid which I stole from the CFNYC Facebook page is super helpful – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9zaajrJpLI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

    • Kevin

      Hey guys, I started the weightlifting team here at crossfit. It is an offical team that can compete at USA Weightlifting sanctioned events. I want to keep it relatively small so people can really get good coaching regarding the lifts. I will discuss it further very soon. Thank you for chiming in!

  • Just a quick reminder about our CFNYC Happy Hour TONIGHT!

    Please join your fellow athletes, coaches, and +1’s for an evening of fun at Lucy’s Cantina, located at 1 Penn Plaza. 

    We have semi-exclusivity to the back patio from 6p-8p and from 8p we will continue to party but we have to share with non-CrossFitters. AAAAAANDDD…they’ve made some awesome drink specials for us as well.

    $3 Coors Light and Corona Draft
    $3 Blue Moon
    $4 Michelada
    $4 El Jimador Tequila

    So – grab your lifting buddy and come play. I’ve received over 100 RSVPs so we’re in for a great time!

    NOTE: If you didn’t get the original email invitation last week, that means we don’t have your correct email address in our system. Please email myself (will@crossfitnyc.com) or Kristina (kristina@crossfitnyc.com) and we will update your profile so you don’t miss out!

      Excellent work Athlete Dickie!  And it would be remiss of me not to mention your cameo appearance at 26th street this morning at 6am!

      • But *I* saw athlete Dickie at 28th St. this morning!  Damn, Dickie, you’re sounding pretty serious about this CrossFit thing…  🙂

          Allison wins.

      • Dickie

        We preserved that stimulus. Then beat the sh*t out of it.

    • I feel honored to witness the power, focus and determination of this beast PRing this morning. Well played Excalibur.

          • Naveen

            You’re doing wendler front squats and back squats?

          • Jamie F.

            Yes … it is the king of all movements.

            #insertrelevantandsnidehashtagcommenthere

          • Naveen

            I agree.  Front squats and back squats is king.

          • Rory

            Jamie F.’s posts of his daily werq remind me of those long ass receipts you get at the supermarket…just goes on and on

          • Anonymous

            The first WOD is suspect, as you didn’t put a time, and 30 presses @ 95#?  Isn’t that your 1-rep max?  That would be quite an “accoplishment” (using your spelling).

          • Avery

            Reis the presses were a sub for hspu as they were bothering Jamie’s elbow this morning. Nope not his 1rm – I wouldn’t let him do that, but his time wworas the one posted below the world’s longest warm up ever.

          • Anonymous

            Oh…I thought he did Sage RX’d. Misunderstood.

            I haven’t been posting my workout log, but maybe I can beat you at this dick measuring contest:

            A. Snatch heavy single – work up to 75kg

            B. Front Squat 3×3 – 265-275-285 (felt like I could have done at least another 10#)

            C1. Barbell Row 3×8 @ 165#
            C2. Single-arm Press 3×8 @ 45#

      nice work, Andrew.  As close to RX’d as you could possibly be…i guess, you could have 130#

    • Hey Reis, do you swim at all? 

      • Anonymous

        Only for recreation…not in an athletic way.

        • there’s not that much different between rec swimming and “athletic” swimming. AMRAP “ground to overhead” or for time is the same as move x meters for time or AMRAP laps. technique is not that important, the resistance of the water and having to use all of your muscles in your entire body is the main idea. 

          You mentioning running made me think of swimming 🙂

          • Anonymous

            Most of the time when I swim I throw my son through the air like 50 times, so if the water resistance makes this even more elite then great 🙂

            There has to be some accounting for your excellent time.  800# less in total weight with an 11-minute time is still a valid crushing.

  • BenS

    Sage: 15:26 @ 100#.  Felt like I spent the whole time looking at the floor.

  • Totally underestimated it because “It’s only 2 rounds”. But I do love burpees!! 

    13:30 something ? with 75 lbs. Thanks Mel for counting I had no idea where I was at any given time. 

    Big shout out to Sarah for never letting u do anything less than what you are capable of. We need a little swift kick every once in a while. 

  • Dickie

    Can we as a box get a discount code for SFH products?

  • 12:09 with 75#..

     I came close to doing 80, but considering my form with 75 was atrocious, I guess I made the right choice.   I may have spent 90% of my time on thrusters here.
