Kids imitate what they see around them. Hence, the 8-month-old attempts to power clean at CrossFit Huntsville. (No, she didn't make it. And her form needed work.) Sometimes, in our passion for CrossFit, we forget that there could be things more important than CrossFit. (Maybe?) Quick, name two. Trey W. of CrossFit NE Georgia focuses on what he can do, and not on what he can't: Video. Posted by Lisbeth at May 21, 2009 12:05 AMComments
my God and my beautiful wife Comment #1 - Posted by: jay_saint at May 20, 2009 9:19 PMMore imnportant than CrossFit? My marriage, my family. Comment #2 - Posted by: Craig Massey at May 20, 2009 9:29 PMGod should be the center of all our lives and when it's something else (even CrossFit) it is idolatry and sin. I've learned this the hard way over the last year. I love CrossFit but it needs to remain out of the top 3 priorities to achieve life balance, just how CrossFit helps us all achieve fitness balance. Comment #3 - Posted by: Ryan Hudson at May 20, 2009 9:54 PMGod and family are automatic... After that: 1. Snatch Trey - Awesome work, more inspirational to me than any of the fire-breather videos out there. Comment #6 - Posted by: Franz29 at May 21, 2009 1:47 AM1. CrossFit Greg's answer wins, hands down. And Trey - way to rock it, man! I, of course, thought of my girls first... but then, well, nothing else really rose above CrossFit. We're all addicts, here, though, right? Isn't that what the "A" in "A-blog" stands for? Comment #8 - Posted by: Adam Kayce at May 21, 2009 4:05 AM1. Knocking boots Amazing video! Truly inspirational. More important: Hi gang, Saturday JUne 6th we're having cookout/wod/movie night here at Crossfit USA in Ct. Moonwalks and popcorn for the kids and wie will be showing Every Second Counts on an outdoor inflatable movie theater that is 16 ft wide and 9 ft high. Your all invited! Just email me so I can get a head count! Pray it doesn't rain! 3..2...1.. go! Comment #11 - Posted by: merle at May 21, 2009 6:23 AMWhat's more important than CrossFit? 1. The Dreaded Rest Day Gotta go with Family number one. Number two would be trying to maintain some sort life OUTside the gym, though it's difficult when you're IN the gym 12 hours a day. Comment #13 - Posted by: Joe at May 21, 2009 8:13 AMlove, humor Comment #14 - Posted by: JB - CrossFit SS at May 21, 2009 8:20 AMmerle I responded to your MS question yesterday but it was held up in the filter. It's there now. Wish I was closer for movie night! Cody Comment #15 - Posted by: PXT Cody at May 21, 2009 8:26 AMMy initial response was husband and family and then I checked the comments and realized I should have put God up there too (oops). 1) Grace 1. Family and Friends I'm not religious, so I didn't put God up there, though I can certainly understand those who do. Maybe Faith would be a better word for it, since not everyone is a Christian. Comment #18 - Posted by: steve at May 21, 2009 10:58 AM1) Family Great Photo! My boy hops on the erg everytime I get done and starts trying to get some..Its awesome! Comment #19 - Posted by: Leftridge at May 21, 2009 11:35 AMI love comment #3. God and family are my #1 and #2. I love CF but it won't mean anything in heaven. I missed Qualifiers this year due to those reasons above but I wouldn't change it. We'll get there next year. The price of obedience is far worth the sacrifice...even if it means missing a training day or 2. Comment #20 - Posted by: Angie at May 21, 2009 12:08 PM1. God #3 Ryan - yeah, I've found that to be true as well. Comment #22 - Posted by: leah at May 21, 2009 2:17 PMLOVE IT, DONNA! :D 1. my family and then.. Hey, I LOVE CrossFit with a passion but if I can help people and possibly save lives as a nurse AND a CrossFit Trainer, why not? Comment #23 - Posted by: sakura @ crossfit solano at May 21, 2009 5:34 PM#25 That's hillarious!! Comment #24 - Posted by: Reno at May 21, 2009 11:34 PMYou need to keep both heel down. Comment #25 - Posted by: Mike Lampley at May 22, 2009 11:15 AMFamily and family. Comment #26 - Posted by: Adam Stanecki (CrossFit Victoria) at May 24, 2009 3:48 AMJust wanted to comment on how awesome the picture is! And it'll be a crazy cool day when all the CrossFit addicts (like, the spike in the past couple of years of certified CF trainers worldwide) have CrossFit babies and make CrossFit families... a new generation of fit people - kindof a cool thought.
