Fuck Crossfit. I won't deny that it's a good workout.....it's also a good way to get hurt.

Eh that's kind of shallow. I go to a CF gym and the two trainers that own the gym have degrees in kinesiology, and they preach form, as for anything else physical anyone does. Any power lifter can get hurt too without the right form. I've been doing it 2 years with zero injuries, and that's the same for the people in my class. My wife is in a different time slot, and no injuries.

People knock CF about "form" and you can get injured, well, you can get injured doing anything.

Generally, people who want to be fit and athletic are the ones that risk injury. You never see a fat ass at the grocery store wheel around to pick up a package of Oreos and blow out their knee.

So your telling me that nobody, ever, not once in yours and your wife's class for 2 years has ever injured themselves? Not once? Really? Crossfit isn't a hot girl you are trying to fuck. You don't have to rush in to defend it.

Never once in my reply did I see no one has been injured. I said from what I have personally seen, or from what my wife has seen no one has been hurt. So you're saying no one has ever been hurt lifting at all that you've seen? Not once? Really?

No runner has ever rolled an ankle either, right?

Well, you might not "see" it happen, but isn't that why they're on the rascals having their grandbabies reach over into the frozen meat case pulling out an array of Jimmy Dean sausage for them?

That time of the year for me. After two weeks of some intermediate work and lightweight supersets I'm in my 3rd week of S&C.

Don't let anyone kid you, after a while the workouts aren't even the worst part, the eating (initial bloated feeling with the increase in caloric intake) the meal prepping,
getting enough water (especially when you're cycling a good monohydrate) and trying to fit your fitness goals in with your
daily work is the true chore. By Friday's I'm completely spent, asleep by 9-9:30. On the flip side, Saturday mornings have become quite a bit easier.

Already seeing early returns, my cravings for junk food have vanished with a steady and solid diet. It's just a matter of discipline, intensity and patience now.

Still, it doesn't make it any less suck-tastic.

CF is huge right now in the military. I tried it for a while but it's not for me. My take on it is that it's very, very easy to get injured if you are a beginner going it alone. If you want to get into that crazy shit then go to a well reviewed CF gym and leave your pride at the door when you walk in. I've seen some relatively experienced CFers do some crazy shit, shit that would put me in a hospital.

I'm about 5 weeks out of surgery on my shoulder for a "Mumford Procedure" and have been going through therapy that has been progressing well. I'm slighltly worried that there are more problems as I have developed pain on the backside of my shoulder, nowhere near where the surgery was done. Hopefully the doctor suggest more therapy when I see him next week, because I don't feel that I'll be where I want to be physically if he releases me then. I'm still rather week with certain movements.

Just hang in there. It could be just a niggle. Big thing with shoulders is to take it slow in rehab...don't push it to pain...you don't want to get frozen shoulder, which can last for years and there's nothing you can do.

We're all thinking good thoughts for you!
