it happens.....She fell wrong smdh but that's the crossfit cult for you....When you get to pushing yourself to the max accidents happens especially on the olympic movements.
That's why with olympic movements, I just weight that I know I can fully control. I rarely add more than a 45, on the end.

Improper breathing techniques and lifting too heavy when fatigued cause stuff like this, those movements make alot of blood rush out and can cause you to temporarily lose consciousness. That's why you see lifters faces turn purple when lifting beyond their limits.

me neither...But damn CF or what ever programming will have a person do an AMRAP of Clean and Jerks in a set amount of time and instead of people scaling down to just 75 or 95 they want to use 135 or 185 (just using examples) next thing you know rotator cuff injury and they aren't training for a few months. All because people are too proud to scale down and learn form or do a correct movement. I detest AMRAP vs Time.

It's always about form and technique >>>> weight.....

Ego lifting is why a lot cats are walking around with back braces and bad backs.

I've never been injured or had any major injuries. And I've been lifting for 11 years now. Also I know when I feel some type of soreness, that it's usually time to back off whatever I've been doing.

I only ever developed one issue in my wrist/forearms due to over usage but that could of also being tied to aging a bit as well. Had a breh wearing these dumb ass braces under my shirts.

I’m too scary to do those Olympic lifts. Looks like you about to snap those elbows doing cleans and jerks.

If you ain’t a pro athlete/Olympian, why would you do those pulls?
Because they are good lifts, you just need to learn to do them properly. People get hurt all the time benching yet no one ever questions why folks still do it:yeshrug:
