Cons of Crossfit
Injuries
Some of the proposed exercises can be highly damaging to our joints and even to the tendons.

Not in all the gyms are adapted for a Crossfit job. Depending on the city, it will be difficult for us to find a gym that allows us to teach Crossfit modality. If your goal is to train Crossfit, you should go to a center that allows you to develop your routines with a full guarantee.
Non-Specialized Assistants
In many centers, it is not usually practiced how to perform basic weight lifting exercises such as clean & jerk, and when they perform incorrectly, they can be highly harmful to the spine, so try to put yourself in the hands of an excellent professional.
Over Training
If we do not monitor the workloads, or who directs us does not take them into account, it is easy to fall into overtraining, that is, we have exceeded the exercise load limit that our body can assimilate.
Wear and Danger of Breaking
By taking the body to the limit, in the last minute of training, our intramuscular and intermuscular coordination will be reduced. This leads to poor execution of movements and exercises, therefore a danger to our back, muscles, and joints. Try to put the heavy load exercises at the beginning of the training to avoid this inconvenience.
