Maybe because it's easier to relate to? Or maybe because the actual lifting of a weight is an effort that takes a couple of seconds while running 15K takes god knows how long

Just wanted to emphasize the balance between looking good, and being well.
I know I've been focussed too much on the former, and neglecting the latter.

at gym today a buddy saw me setting up the barbell for some pendlays, and assumed I was about to do deadlifts.
2 sets of 3 reps @ 221 pounds. Weight is definitely moving up slower than with lighter weights, but still hitting my chest.

hehe i suck at overhead - can't get my arms far back enough. Next time I go to physio I'm gonna get them to figure out why. So frustrating. I've been told its due to tight lats, someone else told me its due to tight pecs. Need to figure this out!

Indeed the article is
Why do you think CrossFit is retarded, out of curiosity? Always interested to hear what someone with genuine knowledge of fitness and training thinks

The coaches let people train with bad technique and let them get away with it, resulting in injuries. Do whatever you want in the gym but do it right.
