[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know the owner of a crossfit gym that seriously injured himself and ended up with surgery and in the hospital.  great guy, very knowledgable, but there are some things the body isn't supposed to do.  to each his own, but some of the stuff is really over the top.  it does give self esteem to complete some of these things, but that doesn't mean everyone should do it.

i dropped a weight plate on my foot at my regular/non CF gym last week. Does that mean I should no longer lift weights or exercise? I also knew a guy in high school who was injured and hospitalized in  a  soccer accident, does that mean soccer is dangerous and no one should play it? You can get injured doing any activity. Heck I pulled a muscle in my neck when i turned it too fast getting up one morning. I am not saying that there aren't some dangers to crossfit. Olympic lifts can be dangerous and you can get injured if you don't know how to properly bail on a lift. A top left CF competitor was recently paralyzed performing a snatch at a competition. At the same time I don’t think it means it is inherently unsafe or that everyone will get injured doing it. You need to know you limits and  know when to say when. You also need to educate yourself on the moves and find a gym with trainers who know their stuff- beyond just having passed the general CF certification  [/quote]

All of this is true. Some things put you at greater potential for harm. Performing lifts in the manner that CF encourages is reckless. And CF has a disturbing attitude towards all of it's members that suffer from Rhabdomyolysis after performing their WOD's. I was ambivalent towards CF until I came across "Uncle Rhabdo". What a bunch of assholes.  [/quote]
