The first Open WOD last year was burpees and double unders — a much more forgiving WOD for newbies as far as injuries go — so I thought lessons had been learned. 13.1 tells us they haven’t learned. Thanks for keeping an open mind and feel free to share the article. Let’s hope Coach Glassman is listening!

Some people will still not understand or think an injury can’t happen to them. Glad you enjoyed the article and feel free to share it! Thanks!

I’m a 54 year old Crossfitter (for almost 5 years now). I took one look at that WOD and said “forget it”. I was thinking what the first 135# snatch would be like, and decided it would be pointless (my 1RM snatch these days is only about 130# – hey, I didn’t say I was a GOOD Crossfitter!). But you expressed what I felt far more elegantly, and rationally. Mr. Glassman, are you listening?

Dude you “Get it”! I appreciate the knowledge and guts to say no to potentially sloppy form and injuries. :)

A basic squat rack doesn’t really cost that much: http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21103163664799 We started with that one and worked our way up. You’d be better saving your money for that and a basic barbell than buying something else IMO. Hope that helps.

I workout at home now and I can’t afford a squat rack in the present conditions. How can I barbell-squat in that case?
