Tendonitis (Tennis Elbow).

• This is an important condition to mention as many
  beginner crossfit enthusiasts report this as an
  injury in their training. While this condition is
  most commonly caused from repetitive wrist
  movements, it has also been caused from strenuous
  chin-up or bar activity when their individual
  trains too hard in the early stages of the
  crossfit career or comes back after a long period
  of time off.
• The good news about this type of injury is that
  (if managed correctly) it will rarely cause any
  kind of permanent damage or serious problems, but
  while it persists it will be big impediment to
  your training and the discomfort and pain caused
  to the sufferer will be generally unpleasant.

• If you suspect that you have this injury you
  should follow the following steps
• Stop all training immediately and apply ice to
  the injury.
• Rest for a few days and see a medical
  practitioner. Diagnosis is important.
• Follow the advice of your medical professional
  for recovery and rehabilitation. It is still
  possible to engage in some exercise while this
  injury is recovering, but it should be done so in
  accordance with health professionals. There are a
  lot of very effective treatments for this injury.
  In certain circumstances it may be necessary to
  seek the help of a physiotherapist to find the
  most effective treatment for your own individual
  situation.
• After recovery, engage in your training
  gradually. Introduce the exercise that caused the
  injury slowly.

Lower Back Pain.

• Most commonly caused during strength related
  workouts when the person training does not use
  correct technique or if they are applying
  excessive stress to their workouts. Obviously the
  most effective combatant to this injury is to
  focus on using correct technique. This will also
  help prevent any serious back related injury. If
  you are suffering any kind of mild lower back
  pain during your workouts, you should have plenty
  of rest.
• You should use correct weights (do not overdo it)
  and apply increases at a sensible rate. If you
  still suffer pain, then you should probably
  discontinue these exercises altogether until you
  have isolated the root cause of the problem or
  build up the core strength in your body to
  support your lower back properly.

Sprains

• The most commonly reported accident related
  injury (according to Sydney Crossfit trainer Karl
  Robertson) was a sprain when dismounting from the
  bars or ropes, or sometimes an awkward movement
  during the exercise. Crossfit trainees learn very
  early on that landing properly on your feet is
  important and to ensure there are no obstacles on
  the ground that will cause you to roll your
  ankle.
