More proof that CrossFit scales everything to the member. If you’re a baby and you want to CrossFit (and, every baby does) what are you going to do? You can’t walk yet. You can’t even sit up. How the heck are you going to lunge?
Well, here’s your answer — we get somebody to carry you during the walking lunges. With good form, so that you get proper muscle memory right from birth.
And we’ve heard that babies have the grunting and throwing up thing nailed, so they’re natural CrossFitters!*
*Jest! Nobody’s thrown up since Kirk, many moons ago — although we still have a good chuckle about that one now and again.
And a reminder about why we should drink chocolate milk post-WOD. (We’re making a Costco run this week, but if anybody wants to bring in a case of chocolate milk, feel free!)

Go melissa & jackson!!
Inverted burpees?? What?!
November 10th, 2008 at 12:01 pm
Wow, todays main site workout is wrong on so many levels…can’t wait to try it out! Not so sure I’ll make it 5 rounds…maybe Jackson and I can tag team and split it up =)
November 10th, 2008 at 12:06 pm
I don’t know if Jackson can help you with splitting up – spitting up I’m sure he must be good at though!
November 10th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
@ melissa, its amazing how quickly you’ve dropped the weight post jackson – if you weren’t carrying a baby it would be hard to tell you were ever even preggers
does anyone know a decent sub for the inverted burpees?
November 10th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
MELISSA! YOU ROCK!!! you look amazing!!
@ Lis- Let us not 4get John’s puking. I’m reminding you because I’m sure he will read this lol
November 10th, 2008 at 1:16 pm
Melissa- you skinny bitch….
November 10th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Please please tell me we’re not doing the main site WOD today.
November 10th, 2008 at 2:03 pm
@ Dan- If there somehow was a sub for the inverted burpee I can’t imagine it being less vomit enducing… lol
Happy vomiting everyone!
November 10th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Well, the main site WOD is definitely intriguing . . . but we all need to practice our handstand kick-ups before we ever do them in a WOD.
Lucky for us, our gymnastics mat just arrived, so we get to practice forward rolls, headstands, and handstand kick-ups this week!
Then, maybe in a few weeks, we’ll tackle the inverted burpee main site WOD.
So, no main site WOD.
Instead, we pick from the Hopper Deck or do Tabatas. Yeah!
November 10th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
And Yentl — yes, I did forget John’s puking! Kettlebell swing-induced, I believe?
And there are also many of those green-faced “I think I need to sit down” moments out there . . . the latest one being Dan’s buddy (victim) the other night! When’s Jason coming back, Dan?
November 10th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
I’m starting to get scared…Melissa’s ramping it up and soon we’re all going to understand what crossfit is really about. She’s relentless!!!! Watch out everyone!
November 10th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Don’t let that baby in her arms fool you. She’s vicious.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
We have to at least try to do some inverted burpees? Those look awesome!
As far a puking, I don’t want to mention Caitlins name, but I once saw her “hugging the bowl” so-to-speak…. No product though.
I have had more “tasty burps” than I care to remember though.
Good stuff this Crossfit is.
November 10th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Nate… I’m right there with you lol
November 10th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Funny you should mention “spitting up” instead of splitting up the workout Becky…because that is EXACTLY what jackson did today…3 times…all over me. I guess baby thrusters were not such a good idea after all. Thanks all for the encouragement, I hope to be back in full action ASAP!
November 10th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Oh, certainly we’ll try some, Nate!
You sounded like a kid who found out there’s no Santa! (Oh wait, I didn’t just ruin anybody’s Christmas, did I? Becky, are you okay?)
I just don’t want them for time in the WOD until we can do them right.
November 10th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
aaawwwww Becky… I’m so sorry baby… It’s ok- if you feel it in your heart- It’s real
November 10th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Oh, tasty burps. I hear you Nate. But how better to finish a WOD than spent on the floor with a throat full of acid. Don’t ya just love CrossFit.
November 10th, 2008 at 9:58 pm
@Sue, Greg Amundson is on Crossfitendurance.com Fri 11/7 post.

Inverted burpees!
Inverted burpees!
Inverted burpees!
I love ‘em!
Sorta.
November 11th, 2008 at 1:23 am
Um, Nate did 3.
November 11th, 2008 at 10:16 am
Wait if there is no Santa…who is that big man sneaking around my house all the time??
November 11th, 2008 at 11:07 am
Um, Becky, that’s your husband, Barry. Maybe you should go introduce yourself.
And don’t let him tell you that kids leave beer for Santa. He made that part up.
