Is there too much emphasis on strength in general and Weightlifting in particular in the Crossfit Opens workouts?
@dsypherme By saying that the WODs contained exercises that professional weightlifters won't do, I didn't mean they can't but simply that they don't do sets like that in training. -

@katiejean Thank you for taking time out to reply in such detail. Some good insight. Just one thing: By saying that the WODs contained exercises that professional weightlifters won't do, I didn't mean they can't but simply that they don't do sets like that in training. -
