Hey Gang,
A recent discussion on the CrossFit Games site was sparked by this question: “rank from 1 to 5 the importance of: Nutrition, Athletic background, Programming, Heart, and Genetics in terms of importance for success at the CrossFit Games”.
The full gamut of responses resulted and people got pretty into it for sure… So what do you think?
Is success in crossfit most related to getting your nutrition dialed in or is it having “heart” and giving it your all? Where would you rank these relative to one another?
Let’s hear your thoughts!
