I'm sure no crossfit coach would say they place times over form or injury or have bad intentions. I'm just saying that if you practice like the vids that are out there over time you're gonna get hurt. Maybe the regular workouts are different than people going for max time in vids.
I'd personally never do skill lifts (like olympic lifts) or more "dangerous" lifts (deads) in a high intensity style workout. Too much bad potential.
I'm almost sounding like an xfit hater which I'm not. I like their all round fitness philosophy. I've always believed in being strong but also able to run to catch a bus without having a heart attack. I just wince when I see some of the vids and hope it truly isn't what happens to regular joe's who go in to get in shape.

Have you tried Crossfit Yon? First sessions are typically free. I'd bet money there is one within 5 miles of your place. Give it a go ........... You'd make that spin class your bitch after a month of Crossfit. Those little sketches will get you into the best shape you've ever been in. Guaranteed.

The one thing I have noticed just perusing some of the sites is that it seems not every gym varies the weightlifting as much - meaning I see some gyms that only do high rep/low weight rather than changing methods more frequently? I imagine this simply reflects the desires of the gym owner? Some programs look SICK, others kinda meh.
