Summary of 3 Studies
Yes, there are plenty of idiots that do crossfit as there are in any other exercise regimen. Those are usually the guys who just go to open gym so there is no one there to correct them. However, any quality crossfit-type gym will have quality coaches who will instruct the members in movement standards and how to scale weight, reps and range of motion. It's a whole different thing than it was 10 years ago.

That's not what I'm arguing. Once you get past instruction, and start doing AMRAP work, for instance, the coaches can't watch everyone. EMOM deadlifts, etc. I'll pulling when I'm good and ready, when I have my breath right, etc. Most people are run by the clock. They get injured, I don't (mostly.)
