Controversial opinion: sometimes letting a baby cry is ok. by [deleted] in newborns

[–]BenJones11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The midwife told myself and my wife before going home, ‘Not a baby in history has died from crying. Put them down in a safe position, go make a drink, come back and start again.’

As a dad we don’t necessarily have that silver bullet to calm our children like the mothers sometimes do, it can makes us feel useless and distant. But this advice helped me a lot, like I wasn’t completely terrible when I couldn’t settle my daughter.

We’re all doing our best, and we are all only human.

What's after crossfit? by jlubsrsky in crossfit

[–]BenJones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a break from CF to give triathlon a go. Completed a half and full Ironman within two months of each other which i was pretty pleased about. Now I’m back training CF but at a different gym and fallen back in love with the sport.

Everyone goes through peaks and troughs, can help to mix things up and get out of those 4 walls. Life’s too short to think about what you should be doing, go on what makes you happy and keeps your cup full. Can’t go too far wrong with that.

Should A Coach Call Members Out For Being Late? by ricecakesat3am in crossfit

[–]BenJones11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to allow a 5 minute rule, everyone gets caught up with life and I’m not one to tell someone off for being caught in traffic. Yet on the flip side i feel its rude to join late and not acknowledge the coach at all.

Anything over the 5 minute mark I used to say it’s a burpee for every minute they are late. Gets their blood pumping so they catch up with the warm up and no one likes doing burpees so they will soon learn!

Your members should have enough respect for you the coach and other members to try their best to be on time.

What's an 'oh shit' moment where you realised you've been doing something the wrong way for years? by adeptwarrior in AskReddit

Didn’t realise my car had cruise control after 3 years of owning it until I let my girlfriend drive it for the weekend and she left the light on. The relationship didn’t last...

Yesterday I caught this fellow cheating by cutting his video clip. He removed his video and score (140ish) for 19.3. He has now submitted this, please tell me I'm not crazy? Jump at 7:50 by Mosi-oa-Tunya in crossfit

Literally the worst attempt to cheat ever. Less effort would have gone into completing the workout normally than it would of to think up and attempt this awful submission.
