From late 2018 until mid 2021
Professor Kilgore was commissioned by Greg Glassman to produce illustrations
and the accompanying explanatory text to provide all CrossFit trainers
and coaches, trainees, and the general public an introduction to anatomy
in action ... for free. He was about two thirds through what he wanted
to do, but CrossFit sold, project funding ended, and the illustration and
text series will now go unfinished. What is published, 93 installments
with 4 more sitting at corporate, remains freely available. This philanthropy
for the industry's benefit, once again, makes CrossFit an anomaly in the
fitness industry, a provider of a massive amount of quality educational
and practical content, available to anyone anywhere for absolutely no cost.
