"CrossFit fundamentally missed the boat because they prioritized training abstracted, simple exercises over complex, concrete movement tasks." - very illuminating, I like it. In my own experience having good cross-fitters do some grappling starts to break that frame. It worked for me! GO RUCK (a pretty heavily crossfit involved Ruck sack brand) Had like a SUMO WRESTLING ESC ring where fitness competitors had to push each other out of the ring. When I saw that I was like: PLEASE CROSSFIT GAMES make them wrestle, that would be amazing. ------Great Post Rafe! Helpful Framing.
