#943 - Will Ahmed - The Downfall Of CrossFit & The Future Of Fitness

And I just didn't enjoy it. And by the way, in my free time, I was, you know, doing research on the fitness industry or the wearables industry or the sorts of things. And, and then, you know, when I would go play squash practice at Harvard or whatever, like I would love working out and love like pushing myself. And, and through that, I also was somebody who used to overtrain.
