Happy Birthday EJ!

Hey everybody!
So let’s go to BROOKLYN BEAST this weekend! It’s a parkour gym offering classes in capoeira, tricking, tumbling, and of course, parkour.
They have lots of different classes, and open gym hours, where you can just try out all of their cool stuff, like their 20ft warped wall, trampoline and trampoline wall, foam pit, and more! Their calendar is here: https://bklynbeast.com/classes/calendar/
Email me at [email protected] if you’re interested and what day/session you’d like to do. And hopefully we can get a big group together! I’m good either day but maybe the Saturday 8p parkour class would be best, and anyone who wanted to stay for open gym after could do so.
4p tricking and 5p tumbling sound good to me too, Saturday or Sunday!
GusFerg
Nicely EJ, very nicely…
Paige
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EJ! Your compassion, dedication and strength is what makes CFM stand out in a crowd!
Tweaked back mid snatch this AM and self-diagnosed (AKA Amy, Rolf and Mike diagnosed)as sciatica. Googled it-seems right. Hurts like hell so I’ll be there only in spirit until this is resolved!
WOD on people!
Alicia
@Paige – make sure to rest that back A LOT! Not resting will make it go from bad to worse really quickly!
Melissa T.
@Paige – I have a sciatica issue as well. Definitely rest and avoid any stress to it for a good while. You can take up to 800mg ibprofen for the swelling every 4 hours.
**HAPPY BIRTHDAY EJ! Thank you for all your support, great coaching, friendship and dedication to all CFMers! Hope you have a great day and enjoy!
Jared
I have a few things to say:
Happy birthday EJ!
Congratulations to Vikram for destroying it this morning and coming in first place!
Brian, I hope your stiff back feels better soon. I’m sure a quick massage would do the trick.
Paige, you aren’t injured. Don’t rest because you will fall behind. Keep coming in and push it harder than you normally would. If it still hurts after, you know it’s actually hurt. If you feel better, you know it was all in your head.
Carmen
13:02 @ 113# jumping pull-ups (plus a kip or two per round) All rounds unbroken on the DLs so maybe a little heavier next time?
Happy Bday EJ!
Paige
LOL you people are nuts!
PJ
I think my kipping days are over too.
Next week, experimenting w/ a low(er) bar back squat.
