I'd respectfully disagree....on the first bold. Moving massive weights, at any body weight, requires great tendon and ligament strength.

But the second bold...

Really occurred to me the other day while "practicing" crossfit. The single biggest hurdle I have right now (other than I've never done reps in 27 years of training) is wrist pain and discomfort when doing things like cleans and front squats.

Sitting there just racking my brain about it because the weight I'm using isn't an issue for me to do (A whopping 135 lbs lol) but ugh my wrists. Stretching them doing mobility drills for them, my forearms, etc...

Then it hits me about the wrist wraps which out of 27 years of training I've been in for probably 20.
Move your hands out a little further on the bar and work on getting your elbows up and in.
