Hyrox vs. CrossFit vs. Bodybuilding: Which Should YOU Do?

Should you try Hyrox? Is CrossFit actually good for you? Should you just run a bodybuilding split? With a hundred ways to train and only a few hours a week to spend, the hard part isn't effort — it's choosing where to put it. This episode cuts through the noise.

Jesse grades the biggest training styles — Hyrox, CrossFit, traditional bodybuilding, and hybrid training — with actual letter grades across four things that matter: convenience, building muscle and aesthetics, community, and longevity. You'll learn what each style is genuinely best for, where each one falls short, why over-specializing is a trap, and which approach the longevity research keeps pointing to. Plus a Health Hack on the farmer's carry — maybe the highest bang-for-your-buck move you're not doing.

If you've ever stood at the gym wondering whether you're training for the right things, this is your roadmap.
