CrossFit for Health and Fitness vs. CrossFit for Points

Observing CrossFit Games athletes can be an inspiring and educational experience, offering insights into their techniques, pacing, and strategies. However, it’s essential to recognize the difference between competitive tactics and training for long-term fitness and health. Games athletes prioritize speed and efficiency, often sacrificing range of motion, tempo, or even safety to gain an edge. For general fitness, focusing on controlled rep tempo, full range of motion, sound technique, proper refueling with whole foods, and listening to the body to avoid injury is paramount. By understanding the context behind competitive practices, we can adopt the elements that align with our goals while leaving the extreme measures for competition.
