Crossfit needs to add a longer ramp up time before putting newbies in with the more experienced crossfitters. My personal opinion is 6-8 weeks. The training is intense and the pressure to keep up with the rest along with the inexperience of the newbie with training leads to injuries, many of which I see in my office. My patients say they've spent 1 week learning then they're ready to train with everyone else. Let's not forget that ligaments and tendons take longer to strengthen than muscles. I totally agree with your statement on quality vs quantity of exercise. This isn't emphasized enough in their program and should be made a priority. As I always say, your last rep is when your technique breaks down. At that time, you just stop. If you are too fatigued to use proper technique, then it's on to something else or you're done for the day. I love the passion crossfitters have for their new found workout regimen. But I can tell you that I get more crossfitters in my office with more injuries than any other specific sport. I've also had 2 patients that have had non-displaced metatarsal fractures.

You got some air time..nice. I do agree crossfit has good intent but when you train like a ferrari but function like a jetta bad things are going to happen eventually. SAID principles apply. Many of these injured persons deny that crossfit caused their pain but as they get more intense pushing higher and heavier they continue to use the same strategies in survivalmode which lead to activity demands exceeding functional capacity=injury. for some reason the injured person don't get it!!! Oh well, I'm preaching to choir. “shouldn’t we all just get a(long)…. movement screen” way to go celeb. You got some air time..nice.

]]> Comment on Do I need orthotics or special running shoes??? by Turbage007 http://www.rehabchiropractor.com/2011/07/do-i-need-orthotics-or-special-running-shoes/comment-page-1/#comment-362 Turbage007 Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:20:29 +0000 http://www.rehabchiropractor.com/?p=16#comment-362 I started running on the five fingers and loved them, but I do a lot of trail running so I started looking for a show with a thicker sole but still maintaining the minimalist feel. I found these on line and loved them! I have put about 200 miles on them and no issues they are the best shoe I have run with. The have a good free feeling to them and they are very light on my feet. I am personally not picky about whether or not they are snug like the five fingers I like that they feel like wearing a slipper. I am usually a 9.5 and that is what I purchased and I had no issues with the sizing they fit very nicely.
