There are a few problems with Crossfit - although you can do a great deal with limited equipment, it still takes equipment. And if you really want to participate, it takes a lot of equipment. You can substitute all you want, but when you're not doing the "Crossfit Total" or deadlifts or power squats or any of the things that require a plyo box, rubber bumpers on a $200 olympic weight bar (and the space to use it), or a set of rings with a place to hang them, eventually you're not doing Crossfit anymore.
It's cool if you have $120 per month to pay for a daily, 20 minute workout. Or an empty garage - but if you live in a small house, or an apartment, and you can't afford a monthly fee, you're out of luck.
It's worse if you can afford it, though, because you will inevitably work with some really heavy weights during a deadlift or something like that, and you will pull something out of whack. Then you won't be able to Crossfit for a while because you have to go see a doctor.
The solution to this is either to get proper weightlifting training, or find another alternative.
I'll post soon about how to adapt the safe exercises in Shovelglove to a Crossfit format.
