Is CrossFit Right About High Rep Olympic Lifts?
Disclaimer: I respect CrossFit, this article is not me hating or taking disrespect to their system. This is my honest reaction, take what I have said as a grain of salt.
From my experiencing coaching weightlifting, coming on just over 8 years it has shown me where weightlifting is relevant and where other tools are required. Weightlifting exercises are just a tool for coaches to produce a specific response. As coaches we will use a number of tools to develop our athletes and clients.
High Rep weightlifting is by no means 'dangerous', although the desired response of improved performance comes down to how these exercises are performed.
