Crossfit

Is it really as dangerous as people say?

Ive been to a few training classes at a crossfit gym, learning how to do the barbell movements like squat etc before i embark on a membership.

All i hear about on the internet is how likely you are to get injured doing it, i was looking forward to starting it but now im a bit dubious?

The coach seemed to speak a lot of sense, talked about using hip muscles for squats and talked about keeping a straight back during deadlifts etc.

Well i never want to do competitions, just use it as an all round motivational group class way of building strength/fitness while hopefully have the coach keeping an eye to make sure im not doing anything incorrectly.

The coach was drilling it into us about numbers and targets but im not really wanting to do that

I may just stick to doing the workout but as slow as i need to to keep my form coreect, i.e. do proper pull ups instead of that kipping type

Most of the hate you hear is upset gym owners pushing stories because it pulls people from their offering. I know of one company that pays tens of thousands a year to seo/bloggers to slag it off.

Pretty sad isent it, im doing it for the community side of it aswell, hate working out alone
