I Wish CrossFit Did Not Hurt So Much

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit

Lately, I’ve been battling a shoulder “injury.” The problem is that it’s not truly injured. It is having problems because it’s insanely tight.

I went to my massage guy and told him I needed my lats and shoulders worked on. Let’s just say every moment hurt, and it’s still tight. My chiropractor is working on my shoulders, too. You know it’s bad when you roll out and can feel the knots rolled over, and they don’t leave.

This is the crappy part of CrossFit — the physical toll it takes on your body. And, as you age, this toll does not get better. 

I love CrossFit, but wish it did not hurt so much. I truly have no idea what a normal massage feels like; mine always hurt like hell. I’m sore almost every day of my life. Or, something is tweaked. And, to top that all off, I don’t even like the way my body looks any more cause I think I’m too chunky.

So, why I keep doing this, I don’t know.

Here’s where I get massages in case you are interested, and subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more great content today!

It’s Always Something…

As a CrossFitter, you have aches and pains.  You’re sore.  Your mobility is compromised. Your shoulder hurts.  You have a pulled muscle.  You name it.

For me, it’s something different every week:  shoulder, calf, bicep, knee, elbow, a random huge bruise, etc.

But it’s always somethingcrossfit-sore

Which I’ve accepted.

I’ll always have something tweaked. Something sore or strained.  Something tight.  Some movement I have to back off of because of that tweak.  One day I’ll do strict pull-ups because my shoulder is off.  Another day I’ll row instead of run because my leg feels off. Or I’ll go light on dead lifts because we just did 30 dead lifts in a WOD.

Sometimes I’ll think Why do I put up with this?  Why deal with this?  Why?

Because CrossFit is my addiction.  It’s my outlet.  It’s my passion.  It’s what I do.  It’s a part of me.

Because of that I’ll deal with anything.
