Both are inspirational, but unlike the guy in the second video I am not a fan of CrossFit. In fact, the very thing the guy likes about CrossFit, I dislike. But, hey, if it scratches his itch and keeps him going...
The momentum, which is a ticking timebomb for joints, especially older joints. Either not training to momentary muscular failure or being goaded by other CrossFitters to go well beyond that point: arbitrary limits. Some senseless movements, and variety for its own sake. Also, its cultish nature: https://www.salon.com/2014/10/22/cr...ny_of_its_defenders_are_so_defensive_partner/
Ah yes. I am looking through long time perspective as well. If he started this during at my age, who knows how long his joints would have lasted.
