CrossNot

We can call this accident from last year a “freak accident” or we can call it exactly what it is, carelessness. If one does not even understand the repetition one should not train alone. Weightlifting is a very technical activity. Lifters are in the beginner stage for more than seven years. This is not like bodybuilding where we can classify ourselves as advanced after one year. We must learn the nuances.

CrossFitters want so badly to be a part of some hard-core community that they bypass a lot of necessary stages. These stages are part of the reason weightlifting is one of the safest sports, look at the statistics. CrossFit is not weightlifting. CrossFit is not powerlifting. For someone to be part of a “hard-core” community someone from that community needs to invite/accept the other into the group. CrossFitters will never be accepted because they do not lift heavy, correctly, safely, intelligently, or properly in any category. The best CrossFit “lifter” cannot even qualify for a nationals in powerlifting or weightlifting. Wake up fitness community. Stop accepting new things as valid simply because they challenge the standards which are impossible for you to meet in the next six weeks. This is unrealistic.



If one thinks CrossFit is worth the risks involved injury is a certainty. We can no longer accept the all too common thinking that working hard causes injury. True hard work involves learning to avoid injury so as to allow more training. Skip the injuries. Train more frequently.
