Is CrossFit dangerous?
CrossFit has a stigma…it’s meant for elite athletes and is dangerous for anyone else. I’d like to reassure you that it’s not.
Why would an injury occur? Doing too much too quickly, and with poor form is the main culprit. Some main points to keep in mind is maintaining your weight on your heels, and ensuring a lumbar curve in your back for many of the movements.
Mechanics and consistency is needed before intensity.
Another factor is when a load is outside of your area of base. Your area of base is defined as the imaginary box that surrounds your feet on the floor. Imagine doing an overhead squat with the bar 6 inches in front of you. That’s a shoulder injury waiting to happen. So, keep that load over your area of base and lock it in.
Now, let’s put CrossFit injuries into perspective. Take the New York City marathon. Every year, one person dies from running this grueling feat of endurance. Also, 1 in 7 people don’t finish the race due to injury, dehydration, etc.
Can you imagine if we did Fran and had to carry two people off to the hospital? We’d be in a lot of trouble if that were the case.
So keep that chest up, back tight and heels down and give it all you got! You’ll see if you follow proper mechanics, you’ll have little to worry about.
It’s time for the Bear!
