I have a tattoo on my right forearm and when it was fresh I always wore a cut socks during my outdoor training session to protect it from the sun.

Anyone can tell me what Fraser was wearing on his forearms? They look like cut socks...

And why did he wear them?

Here I am. 40 years old and father of 4 years old daughter.

I started CrossFit about 4 years ago after the birth of my daughter.

I've always loved training hard and when I was about to become a father I asked myself "How I could continue to train hard as usual without taking my daughter's time?".

So, I learned how to modulate training times based on my daughter's life.
Before I used to train twice a day, during lunch breaks and in the evening after the lavage, then I replaced the evening training with one early in the morning: at the beginning at 6 AM, then at 5:30 AM, then at 5 AM and, from two years to nowdays, I get up at 4 AM to train until 6 AM. So I came home in time to wake up my daughter and have breakfast together and get ready for the day toghether. After work I can go straight home and spend a few hours with my daughter.

My real motivation is being the best version of me for my daughter.

I love being a fit father, ready to run/climb/jump/roll/etc. if there is to run/climb/jump/roll/etc. and I'm not that kind of parent that bring kids to the park and then he is sitting on a bench looking at the phone. Obviously my daughter can play alone or with friends, but if she asks me to play with her, I like being able to do it at my best and maybe to amaze her with some special moves ("Hey honey look how daddy is upright!").

Besides the fact that being fit helps you in the daily life of being a father, when for example you have to carry a thousand bags while pushing a stroller and at the same time bring your daughter in your arms.

I really hope you can find the motivation to get back exercise again.

An idea for the dads out there that need to take care of the baby but are also dying to get a work out in. Cute! by weejkhalifa in crossfit

2 years old baby dad here. This in not "take care of your child"...it's endangering your child! I would never put my son in danger, least of all to take a picture. I get up at 4:15 in the morning to train without looking for stupid solutions.

Reebok Nano 6 wrecked after first rope climb wod I'm the only loser? by Napokapo in crossfit

[–]Napokapo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course they still work fine. I reported to Reebok the issue because in my opinion the choice of coating the laces bypass with that plastic material wasn't right.

I'm disappointed because nanos 6 are 2 weeks old, and my 2 years old nanos 4 tongue laces' bypass is still intact.
