Unless you're competing the only person you should be comparing yourself to is you. If you want to pick an exercise and say "I'm stronger than the strongest woman", for one you'll probably end up...
As above, go see your doctor. There are loads of reasons why it could be happening, whether blood pressure, blood sugar, dehydration and so on. It could be related to your anxiety or any number of...
Without seeing you squatting everything is just guess work. You could swap a back squat to a front squat, this will shift the centre of balance. You could also try box squats so that you know that...
Crossfit isn't bad per se, but the issue is that the competitive element, compounded with poor attention to form leads to people doing exercises that are either sub optimal or downright dangerous....
We're not doctors or physios, so we can only give general advice. Focus on rehabilitation, you're injured shoulder, what ever the injury as you don't say, will be weaker and less flexible than the...
