Ed sits down with Marcus Filly, A 7-time CrossFit Games Athlete, and the man who coined the term ‘Functional Bodybuilding”. In my opinion, I believe that Marcus, in many ways, saved CrossFit by making bodybuilding style training ‘acceptable’ in a community that was previously opposed to the idea. In this episode, Marcus shares his physical and mental challenges of being a CrossFit Games athlete; Burnout and Injury; Retiring as an athlete; Exploring Functional bodybuilding; and going ‘all in’. We also explore insecurity, fear of judgement from others, identity and self-worth, and body image. This is one of our favourite episodes to date!
