Babies Need to Harden the Fuck Up


A baby learning to overhead squat and throw a softball at the same time. Fucking Elite.

I hate kids. The younger they are, the more I hate them. Babies are the worst. When they’re not crying like whiny little brats, they’re shitting their pants, demanding to be fed, and in general being massive attention whores. If babies could do handstands and get their friends to take pictures, they totally fucking would.

What’s worse is that babies are totally fucking useless at the box. They can’t spot you, they can’t count your reps, they can’t even hold a stopwatch and keep track of your killer Fran time. They just want to be held and loved. Selfish fucks.

But as it turns out, I was wrong. Earlier this week, CrossFit HQ set me straight. Fuck your weighted vest, just strap a fucking baby to your chest. Serves the same purpose, but making a baby is way more fun than making a weighted vest. Besides, what if you’re out with your baby and the unknown and unknowable happens? You gotta prep for that shit.

Then all these fucking Haters started piling on, just read the comments. What the fuck? Pussies. That baby is totally fine. The soft spot on its head would absorb any blunt force trauma caused by this dude not being Elite enough and bailing forward. Besides, 135 pounds is pussy weight. If you can’t handle that shit, you have no business procreating anyway.

And thank God for CrossFit HQ, who once again bucked the trend and gave the middle finger to the naysayers. A lesser fitness cult would have taken that shit down, admitted a gross mistake in judgement, and called child protective services on the parents. Fuck no. The babyvest is here to stay, already being further integrated into CrossFit. Just check this shit out:

    • Mitchleary

      That guy is showing that baby what elite is. If you cannot survive 20 times your weight being dropped on you, your genes do not deserved to be passed on.

      Pictures of Khalipa and Spealler throwing a softball will never get old. With or without a baby makes me laugh every time.

      I’m more upset about the guys jorts than him OHS’ing with a baby strapped to him like dynamite.  Now, if the baby was ALSO wearing jorts?  Well, that’s just bad parenting.

      My 13 year old crossfitter can strap a 7 year old crossfitter to her chest with an infant crossfitter strapped to the 7 year old and still air squat all their weights.

      His stance is to wide. He should at least use the proper form. What kind of example is this setting for his kid???

      Yes, but do you have sharks that shoot lasers?

      Ha! I am a baby lover and I still think this is hilarious. I would probably still yell at my hubby if he did that with my baby, but it’s cool when it’s someone else’s…. Haha! I love this blog. :)

      This guy is almost as retarded as all the “elite” pregnant ladies going for Rx.

    • know your shit…

      This is Josh Wagner… I’m sure he can manage 135 OHS.

      You mean this guy: http://games2009.crossfit.com/competitors/athlete-profile-josh-wagner.html

      According to his profile, he can squat a whopping 315 — that’s three whole plates (if you don’t use collars, and we know he’s not big on safety), and he can shoulder press 175. 

      Based on those numbers, I would say that 135lbs of iron overhead plus 20 or so pounds of future organ donor on the chest is a solid effort for the man.

      I found this blog from a link to this post and my productivity at work has gone down the toilet.  I have read all of the blog posts back through December of 2010 and keep laughing out loud (NOT lol).  Keep up the awesome work of putting all of this in perspective and putting us in our place.

      Calm the fuck down dude, there is plenty of room between the bar and baby when dropping the weight from overhead

      my wife and will be strapping our 17 week old twin girls to ourselves tomorrow for a WOD.  and to think i wasted $150 on a vest last year.  only if i waited it out.

      Good thing I hadn’t worked out yet today because i just got a fabulous workout laughing my ass off. You really summed up babies. I can’t stand them either! Too bad you’ve got to have a baby to have a kid. I wish I could just skip that part.

    • Awyds

      Serious: This is the most immature, idiotic thing I have seen or read.  Glad no one at my box is like you complete morons.

    • Brad S

      Hallelujah.

    • Ross Walline

      Hell yeah, BamBam and Clark Kent were f***ing shit up as soon as they could walk!

    • Tgray

      Funny stuff, that peaked with the Khalipa comment! Poor guy, even Chan and Spealler are laughing at him in the pic.

    • Big Jim

      Parents can be such pussies.  Three hundred years ago 12 year old Indian kids were scalping grown men in war.  Dude does some overheard squats with a kid on his chest…in a rack…with 135#…, and everyone’s all “OMG, that guy is such and idiot! If he burped and farted at the same time, it would totally be game over for that poor child!” Pfft.

    • Big Jim

      Go ice your vag.  Lol.

    • Hey Reebok! Pick me!

      Functional Fitness teaches you to absolutely suck at throwing a ball. Drywall, you were ahead of your time. 

    • Coker

      Scrolling through the classics, and just now realized there is a Reebok flag behind the baby squatter. Too bad this didn’t have after the ‘Reebox’ commercials, it would have been an even bigger sensation.

    • Mipenga

      Picture before the last (By the way, how the fuck did I end up here?) Anyway… Picture before the last — People go to the gym, to swing a sledgehammer….. WTF. People that do physical labor all day hate the shit, and these stupid fucks do it for no reason!?

    • Starchildbt2

      You Crossfit guys are all a bunch of underqualified fucking idiots!!!!!!! Who the hell you think you are trying to do a snatch with a baby on your chest ??? What are you trying to prove? Thats the problem with our industry are fucking morons that invented and exploited cross-fit. Amazing how many followers people can be.
