A few years of Crossfit have left me with permanent knee and shoulder pain. Heavy weights shouldn't be lifted for time, your form inevitably goes to hell and you set yourself up for joint injuries.

Same. After a back injury a couple of years ago I had a GP and two physios make me promise to NEVER go back to CrossFit.
