Of what use are exercises like push press and overhead squats to anyone other than Olympic weightlifters? Isn't a push press 'cheating'???
Most of us experience a degree of Muted Hip Function because of our lifestyle. What would happen if you put one of your arms in a cast for several hours a day, every day, elbow bent at 90 degrees? Now ask yourself how many hours you are in the seated position during any given day, eating, driving, working? That is like putting your hip joint in a cast day after day.
CrossFit hits your functional weak areas, such as hip extension. It can take a long time to reach your full potential once you start working on 'opening the hip.' But that means you will also continue to make gains for a long time - you won't plateau as fast as you might with bicep curls.
