Diapers & Dumbbells: Lift, Laugh, Learn, Love
Crossfit South Brooklyn is excited to offer Diapers & Dumbbells, a postpartum fitness class designed to help new mothers and their partners safely return to exercise, connect with other parents, and develop the strength they need to support their growing babies.
Diapers & Dumbbells is a one-hour class that focuses on postpartum rehabilitation, restorative exercises, strength training, and conditioning and includes time for socializing with other parents and their babies. It provides a supportive and educational environment and is appropriate for individuals with or without previous CrossFit experience. Classes are open to mothers (and partners) of all fitness levels and their pre-crawling/pre-walking babies. Scaling options are available to allow anyone to participate and progress. Bring your baby and enjoy an hour of fitness and community.
Classes are led by two coaches to ensure close attention to each participant and help parents manage their babies so they can get the most out of class.
Diapers & Dumbbells takes place at Crossfit South Brooklyn’s 597 Degraw Street location, between 3rd and 4th Avenues. Our facility includes new changing rooms (with showers and towel service) that may serve as a private nursing, pumping, or diaper-changing station.
We encourage new parents or parents-to-be to contact us with any questions at Melissa [at] CrossfitSouthBrooklyn.com

Congrats Dan! Mighty impressive.
Diapers and Dumbbells is seriously the cutest thing ever. On days I have been lucky enough to be able to take 10 AM class, I stay around mobilizing afterward just to get a look at all the cutie-pie babies.
Confession: I have a cold and I would probably have decided to come to the gym and work through it if it weren't Crush Week. #crossfitguilt
6am w/lady Fox and McD
Worked up to 155 for the PS + OHS
Nancy – 14:41 Rx
OHS all unbroken. Did not push the runs today.
A nice improvement compared to last year's 18:49 with lots of smaller sets. This morning felt great.
I am going to post a note in the CFSBK classifieds but figured I would mention it here as well. Does anyone have a spare baby that I could borrow on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 11am – 12 pm. I am not planning on going to Diapers and Dumbbells, it's for something else. Hit me up offline. Thanks.
Power snatch + OHS: Worked up to 103#.
Nancy: 13:51 Rx.
Last time we did this, I remember hating every moment of this, dying a little bit inside trying to keep up with Ellie as she shouted encoragement on the runs and the extra push by Fox to go unbroken. Today felt much better (and on an added ironic note, was with McD and Lady Fox).
Runs slowed down a bit each round, but tried to be relatively consistent. Extra push by Dan G at the end at keep moving. OHS unbroken. Surprised myself with how this went. 6am was filled with lots of big improvement on this workout – great morning!
Monique made it out to Diapers and Dumbbells yesterday for the first time and LOVED it! She was so excited to be back, totally raved about it afterwords. She was still a little nervous with having Nia out the house by herself but the class made her feel at ease, said at times during the class she forgot she had a baby. I am going to take that as a good thing meaning that she knew and felt that Nia was well taken care of that she could focus on the workout.
I plan on attending when I go on paternity leave!
Management: Are certain classes cancelled this weekend bc of Starting Strength seminar?
Joy, there is no need to ask mgmt for excuses to drink more this weekend.
Power snatch + OHS: Worked up to 155#
Nancy: 13:46 Rx.
This was way better than last time. All unbroken and felt pretty good. Spotted Kayleigh and James about 75 ft on the first run and spent the rest of the workout closing that gap.

"Nancy"
17:13 As Rx'd
OHS all unbroken
I wouldn't use the word run to describe what I did when I left the gym each round. "trot" sounds more appropriate. I had two goals this workout:
1. Do all the OHS unbroken
2. No walking or stopping between the runs and OHS. So… "trot" into the gym right to my bar and immediately get my hands on it and put it overhead. Kept me honest about my transitions
Cashed out with some crossover symmetry TLC
A. 5 min bike, easy. xover symmetry circuit. shoulder soft tissue work (low lat, armpit, post. shoulder, scap, t-spine)
B. 3x:
100' OH carry (40#, 45#, 45#)
5 ring swings, regular grip
lower body: lunges/hip mobz, OHS pause, etc.
did 2 sets of 2 MU regular grip at some point during all of this. still need more lat/patience.
C. Snatch…
3-position snatches @ 35kg, 40kg
45x1x3, 50x1x4-5?, 53x1x2 (88%)
feels a little rusty. bumping out a bit..
D. Snatch Pulls
55×3, 60×3, 63×3, 66x2x2 (110%)
I think I've done snatch pulls (over 100%) maybe once in my life before. I can see how this could be very helpful for me in the long run… might need some straps!
E. 6 sets:
:20 max cal assault bike
2:40 rest
CAL / MAX RPM
8 / 86
9 / 88
8 / 88
9 / 89
8 / 87
8 / 87
I felt like absolute hell after this. First just leg failure. Then got the blackout feels.
cool down: 2 min quad smash, 2 min lying on floor, 3 min row (sort of moving my arms and legs), 10 eccentric knee flexion.
I don't always read the blog, but when I do I find hidden treasures.
Great article Whit!
So that's your secret….. give zero foxes and BEAST the Open.
noted. 🙂
Jay, as we've told you many, many times before, members may only use their *own* babies for sandbag runs.
10 a.m. w/Jess & Brett.
Nancy: 20:01, Rx'ed. Slow slow slow. Not enough sleep and not enough thinking it through. Legs just didn't want to cooperate on the runs, then lost my grip in the third round on the 13th rep after thinking I'd go 8-7.
With that said, I owe a huge debt to Pierre D. for his offhand tip about overhead squats when I struggled through a similar workout last year: resist the urge to spread your arms as wide as possible when you have the bar overhead! Go a small bit narrower than a typical snatch. You may feel less certain at the start but you'll settle into it.
May not work for everyone but it worked wonders for me. Thanks, Pierre (and Jess for reinforcing this a.m.)!

thank you
Andre – tell Monique there is nothing to worry about as long as she avoids Jay-Star.
A big welcome to those of you who came right out of Foundations and into Crush Week this week, and a special shout out to my pal Nora!
18:24 or 44. The OHS were all unbroken at 42#. I let it down on my head after the first round. Has anyone else ever done that? Beforehand, I worked up to a 62# snatch/ohs which is just off my pr.
Sad I'm missing Nancy!!
Dropped into The Foundry Printers Row Crossfit here in Chicago. VERY fun WOD, nice people, meh coaching.
4RFT, 28min cap
8 hang power snatch (65/95)
10 strict presses (65/95)
12 burpees with a bumper plate (25/45)
600m run
Scaled to 55# and came in from the last run about :30 after the time cap. Practiced some good self-talk and pacing again, and kept pace through the last two rounds. Snatches unbroken the first round then 4/4. Presses 5/5, 5/5, 4/3/3, 4/3/3. Just kept counting mini sets of 3 in burpees but didn't stop moving. Run was rest. Shoulders phew!
Worked up to 73 on the power snatch OHS combo.
Last time I did Nancy: 18:51 RX
Tonight: 16:49 RX
A little improvement 🙂 Broke them up 8-7 while resting the bar on my back. Next time, I'd like to be able to go unbroken.
Cashed out with some really nice AR. Very sore!
7:30 with Brett.
WOD RX in 15:33. I can't remember how I did on this in the past but I'm fairly sure I've done it?
Question of the Day *PR* We got THREE questions in 7:30 class with Brett it was one of the best classes of all time.
Decided to skip Nancy bc I didn't want to overdo it with my shoulder which is STILL feeling good after some tender PT care! My thumb however is not after yesterday's grippy workout. In addition to scaling down From American to Russian swings, I also should have scaled weight.
Did Short Circuit today and I absolutely LOVE this class! Hoping to work this in once a week.
