Hi Josh, thanks for this video. I think it's important for people to see that everyone - even Games athletes - can have certain movements where they decide, "Nope, that one just isn't for me anymore."

Thank you for putting this video out. I’m in the process of returning to CF training after a knee injury, that occurred outside of CF. I’ve been worried about returning as I’ve felt this unspoken pressure that I will ‘have to’ return to these movements. Hearing from you, as an ex games athlete, that we can enjoy CF, in a way that suits our bodies as they age/deal with ongoing injuries, has been so helpful. Thank you!

For me it was such big freedom to stop trying to become a CFer where you "have to" practice HSPU, Ring Dips, Pistols, Muscle Ups, Butterfly Pull Ups... which you do not need if you want to be fit. High Intensity Workouts are great but CF in general is not my thing anymore.

Good conversation! Think CrossFit community needs to better understand competition versus training for life. Definitely not the same. Even competition is changing to acknowledge some of the risk versus reward concepts discussed here. 1) people will definitely have their individualized list, which is what I love about CrossFit training is we encourage modifying to fit individual needs and focusing on desired stimuli. 2) agree on pistols 1000%. Cool party trick but much better ways to train this, and any functional scenarios I come up with can be trained for by the other exercises mentioned. 3) sumo deadlift high pulls: I feel CrossFit has moved away from these, and I know many CrossFit trainer and Physical Therapist (that’s part of what I do for a living) also discourage this BUT I don’t see the risk. (Disclaimer: doesn’t mean that some individuals may have issues but that’s true of any movement. Some people have issues with different things.) It’s very functional. The close grip actually avoid extreme internal rotation. Having hands out wider would require more internal rotation. Some Physical Therapist make the claim a high pull is the same position used to assess for impingement but this just isn’t true. Very different positions. 4) HSPUs. Agree. Fun but I don’t see much of the point. 5) if someone enjoys a movement and does it safely - go for it! If you have a movement you enjoy and gives you issues - find a Physical Therapist who’s also a CrossFit coach and get your stuff fixed. Oh, and I might add high volume bounding box jumps to the mix of things most should avoid.

Really appreciate hearing this from such a high level CF athlete. I have long argued that Pistols were the least valuable exercise for general physical preparedness. They always seemed more like a carnival act than a measure of fitness. (My opinion), to be generally fit as an regular human being you'll be just fine by eliminating all those movements that you highlighted. I have the same argument about the snatch, in any variant, when it comes to actual real-world utility for the average everyday human trying to be fit. There are not many, if any, empirical or anecdotal examples of "Bob" needing to take an object that is heavy off the floor and hoist it all the way up over his head in one singularly fluid motion. Basic movements like the pushup, situp, burpee, deadlift, squat, overhead press, etc. are the cornerstones of being "prepared" for everyday life, and they cam all be easily incorporated into a CF or HIIT style training program.

Sandbag cleans and carry Heavy KBSwings Strict HSPU Step ups/step overs I’ve always done strict pull ups now I just try to increase the weight and volume.

Thanks for this. Fully agree about pistols. At very low volume, they feel great. 5-10 reps per leg, done as singles and doubles, once a week is plenty to get the benefit. But if volume is higher, they expose all my old back, hip and knee issues. Generally not doing any maximal deep squats of any kind. Front squats seem the most friendly to my aging frame. Also focusing on low volume and quality. High volume tends to lead to burnout super quickly.

I am a PT and sometimes I use the exercices you said to avoid in Rehab cases. To my experience, the issue is never the exercise itself but the wrong combination of skills and volume. If you can provide an adeguate stimulus with any of the exercices you mentioned (i.e. right level and right number of reps) rewards outcome risks in any scenario. The issue you have is not with the movement, is with the competition. And I agree with you that competition is insanely risky.

I’m a menopausal woman, and I can live a full life w/o walking on my hands, lolz. Handstands on the wall are fine-no real risk for me there. And I feel very stable in a headstand away from the wall. But trying to walk on my hands these days just seems not worth it, lolz.

Some of my list is different because I'm not doing CrossFit for competition (haven't mastered gymnastic movements yet) and I'm a master's athlete. I was going to say double unders because of left knee pain thinking that nobody else would say that!!!! So cool to relate! Jump rope can sometimes cause my quads to flare up which then causes knee pain and makes it harder for me to squat. If I have high volume singles, I split them up into sets and overall I perform better on my workout and my body feels better and my knees recover and my quads don't flare up I love power cleans But do not like squat cleans. I avoid the overhead squat or snatch because my body doesn't have the best shoulder mobility for that with my scoliosis. Sciliosis with rods in my back makes it hard to do a Kip's swing Now I have had some training with a split snatch and I'm going to see if that helps and be very careful and work that in gradually when we get to an Olympic lifting strength cycle. Power snatches seem to be okay for me. Sumo dead lift high pull has been one of my favorite movements and hasn't given me much issue. I'm currently doing step ups and want to get my strength back on those before attempting box jumps again. I'm doing CrossFit for fitness and not competition. Doing CrossFit off and on for quite a few years, I have learned what my body can handle and learn when to push and when to rest and when to hold back. It's been hard that my body's been aging and I can't do what I used to and I've had to dial back and embrace where I'm currently at. But it's cool that with holding back, starting to see some areas where I'm moving forward and even creeping up towards some lifetime PRs at my age!!! I turn 49 this week. I still have a goal of getting my first strict pull up. I still have a goal of getting my first wall hold. I'm not good at gymnastics and I have mobility limitations but I've found ways to overcome it and get great fitness. I have long legs and long arms and I'm thankful for coaches that have helped me to figure out how to make squats work better for me. I need my toes pointed out a little bit more with a wider stance and really wished I found a coaches earlier in my journey that found that out for me.

My list is almost identical; but for different reasons. At age 58, I have an unfortunate amount of arthritis in my right wrist. (Not from CrossFit injury, I might add.) My home gym is extremely limited, so I add pistols once in a while (maybe once per month), just to change the load for my squat movements. SDHP - I don't have a bar at home, so I have to do them with dumbbells. I agree, the movement is more comfortable. HSPU - These absolutely kill my wrist. On the occasion that I'm having a "good wrist day", I'll mix a few in--strict at home, kipping with a pad under my head at the gym. DUs - I still enjoy them, but can't do them at home on carpet. I usually "simulate" DUs by holding 3-lb dumbbells in each hand, and "imagine" a rope passing under my feet twice while I rotate my hands. It's surprisingly effective. When I do DUs at the gym, I don't see much drop off. Squat Cleans - The front-rack position is not wrist friendly--especially if I squat clean and end up catching a little forward! Like HSPU, if I'm having a "good wrist day", I might throw in a few power cleans and/or front squats, but rarely the combo... Thanks, Josh, for reminding me that CrossFitters are actually human. 🙂

Hi, why doesn't Josh fix his ACL ? How can you lose your lateral ligaments ? Normally they can be stitched together or heal on their own. I mean, there are skiers who break all their knee ligaments and still come back to competitive racing. I see no issues with strict HSPU and no head bang, it's the kipping HSPU that got many under the knife.

One-legged squats are an injury risk for a medial meniscus/ligament tear. Do two-legged squats instead, and only go down to what's considered legit powerlifting depth; any further, and I've found out that it's too hard on my medial knee structures. Personally, explosive cleans (e.g., sumo high pulls, Olympic cleans (i.e., squat cleans), etc.) and snatches are too hard on my cervical spine and brachial plexii. Explosive handstand pushups are dumb, and so are kipping pullups. My cardiac rehab therapist told us not to do overhead movements of any sort.

For me, big advantage training on my own at home, I almost never do burpees. I know they are functional, nice skill. But they are a pain in the lower back, literaly. Other than that I avoid Headstand-pushups (yes, that‘s the correct name) because it‘s a limited range of motion compaired to any shoulder pressing. I bought some paralletes and plan on going full HSPU (here Handstand-Pushup), but with full ROM, you wouln‘t do more and more half pull ups, would you.

Getting older and having achilleas issues for years now, DU's are out, can't walk right for a day or two after and split jerks are out. No pistols either. With age comes a little wisdom. It happens to all of us. I LOVE DU's but I have grown fond or walking properly up and down the stairs so they are gone. I can't run right either because of my achilleas. I will run for Murph but that's it. It is more of a fast walk but that's what I can do. Lots of machine work now and my body isn't as beat up. HSPU I will do strict. Pullups are mostly strict now. I always am telling the younger crowd, mind your impact. It adds up over time. I see allot of workouts programmed with DU, running and cleans in them in the same workout. That is allot of impact on the body. Break them up. Unless you are going to a higher level of competition this amount isn't necessary in my opinion.

It's the dynamic nature of some of these movements that causes trouble. Some are simply feats of strength and balance (pistols, strict HSPU) that aren't better than other much simpler movements. SDHP in competition tends to be fast and light, far too dynamic. Slow and controlled would be fine, but that defeats the point. Kipping HSPU are a complete abomination and should never be done by anybody anywhere at any time. Double unders, if you train them often, will definitely wear on your feet, ankles, and calves, and manifest in various ways (plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel bursitis, and so on). The general idea of mixing strength, calisthenics, gymnastics, and cardio is a good one, but the implementation in practice can be the problem.

Bruh, I mean this as a compliment, but you could totally pull off being Andrew Huberman’s half cousin.

Same when I lost interest in CrossFit was all the gyms focus on getting you to do the fancy movements over the work capacity and intensity. Yes you can scale and change numbers but then why am I with the class for 250 a month if I’m in my own world

I LOVE pistols! I find them to be the best bang for your buck for lower-body bodyweight exercises

Personally pistols are great. It always gives me a great challenge as long as I perform them correctly. The form I see CFs have for pistol squats is awful. They purely go for speed no matter how sloppy the form is.

Common sense my friends. Do classic weight lifting for strength, speed training and aerobic like running plus some basic plyometrics and youll be fit and ready for whatever life may throw at you. Crossfit is a very silly and dangerous thing

I think strict HSPU are fine. Kipping HSPU are just unnecessary.

I agree, Double unders are gay. So many other things you can do with way more benefit. Complete waste of time. It should be illegal to use a jump rope anfter you are 7 years old.
