Have to be honest, guys. I'm getting burnt out on CF. Constant nagging minor injuries and intense WODs .. I find myself dreading going unless it's a lift heavy day. Any of y'all run into this and have advice? It's been slowly creeping in and I've been ignoring it, but I'm finding motivation harder to come by.

Yeah, sounds like the programming needs an over haul. I think if CF'ers are honest many boxes have had this happen. I got my Level 1 and 2 so i could help program. But my box owner lets me run my own individual program just for me and as couple others. Its still CF but I have changed some things that has me feeling pretty good. Unfortunately if u push yourself physically, you are will get nagging aches and pains.

You could look at others boxes or try something new. Read the Greyskull LP thread. It has a strength program as well as conditioning workouts.

Just a thought. Good luck

I have some days I love it. Some days I hate it. I do t mind the nagging stuff. I have had a heel issue that has hung around forever.

I don’t like the idea of programmers changing once a month. I think that programming should be more consistent. I also think you could get into some of these coaches trying to out do each other.

But I also like scaling things you know will give you trouble. For me it is running and dubs and box jumps. I can do one in a wod but not two or my heel will be in agony.

Nothing is more demoralizing than a long break and going backwards. So at the very least you can go in to open gym and do a few lifts, row, and some kettle bell stuff. Add in a few pull-ups and you will maintain and be able to heal

What kind of injuries are you dealing with?

Re: intensity is totally based on how hard you are going, and that is a good thing.

Are you more talking about then putting things in the WOD that you have to scale? I could see why that is frustrating. But dude are you seeing progress in these movements? Are you dropping weight? Are you getting stronger. If the answer is no then you need to find a new gym, cause based on your posts you go frequent enough.

A guy your size should be dropping weight pretty quickly, or at least seeing a significant change in your body composition. That alone would keep me coming back but everyone is different.
