 As a CrossFitter, one of the most important things you can do to decrease your risk of injury is focus more on your recovery.
It doesn’t matter if you train once a week, four times a week or 14 times per week. Training is stressful on the body. If you’re not recovering from the stress you’re putting on your body, eventually, it’s going to start breaking down. With Crossfit, many injuries are due to overuse or improper technique.

 Having a strong and stable front rack position is vital if you want to perform well in CrossFit. So many exercises require that, well, your front rack doesn’t suck.
How do you know if your front rack position is lacking?
These are all signs that your front rack position needs some work. They show that either you lack the mobility to get into the right position, or the stability to be strong in that position.

This makes sense, almost 30% of CrossFit injuries are shoulder-related.

Bilateral movements include almost all of the seven primal movements:
 EVERYONE HAS ARTHRITIS!
Osteoarthritis is a form of degenerative change in joints. It's a matter of load vs. capacity. When the load in a joint is too high, for too long, the joint wears down. Simply put, it's the wearing down of the protective tissue in joints.  Have you ever been told you’re ‘quad dominant’? Ever wondered what that means? It typically refers to those who have well-developed quads, compared to other muscle groups or that they use their quads for everything.
Injury prevention is one of the most controversial and highly debated topics at the moment. Many healthcare practitioners, personal trainers and everyone else in between claim they are an ‘injury prevention specialist’ or that by ‘performing these exercises’ or ‘this program’, you can prevent injury.
