Barbarians at the gate: into the breach surged battalions of converts,
Emerging from swamps and backwoods,
To blow up everything held most sacred,
They sweated, roared and swaggered to the limit,
The tore down the temple and razed it to the ground.
Thursday is “Ladies’ Night” here in Brooklyn, but that doesn’t mean men aren’t invited. Everyone’s welcome to come down and test their luck with one of CrossFit‘s special “Girls.” The Girl workouts are benchmarks which we use to test our athletes and measure our results against other CrossFitters around the world.
Why girl names? Coach Glassman says, “Anything that leaves you flat on your back looking up at the sky asking ‘WTF happened to me?’ deserves a female name.” Adjust your expectations accordingly!
Ladies’ Night

Happy b-day Rupa!
And I finally got on the board! Karen: 11:45.
Hi team. Anyone been secretly dying to do Warrior Dash?
I have a spot for 9/18 but can’t use it now because apparently I have a labral tear. Which sucks. But can be good news for you if you want the spot!
Let me know. Must transfer name by 9/7
Apparently the secret to kicking ass is taking your shirt off, last time was Angie w/ a 12 minute PR…
Today:
Karen:
7:35
6 minute PR
Thanks Noah for being right next to me through it, nice job!
Note to all paleo challengers:
We will be running the required benchmark workouts (1RM deadlift; 21-15-9 air squats / burpees) as the WOD all day on Tuesday. The registration deadline will be extended to Tuesday for this purpose!
If you haven’t done the benchmarks yet I recommend you wait and just do ‘em Tuesday!
6:46 Rx’d, this is a negative 35 second pr, but I’ll take it since my shoulder is still in tact and actually didnt hurt. Some reps were not below parallel, look forward to doing this one again soon to make sure all reps are clean and trying to beat my old pr!!
10:14 – PR by over 2 minutes
still couldnt come close to good sam! gotta work on growing taller
Grace I think OT is looking for a spot in warrior
Had to protect my turf! 10:57, 2 min PR. Yay!
Chris D- I seriously think ‘shirts off’ is the way to a PR…
