Elijah Muhammad is a CrossFit Games athlete and founder of Project Onyx. Elijah shares his goals of being known as one of the fittest and his view on the current CrossFit space. The title "life heavy often as in every day" is a metaphor we hear about in this episode. It represents that lifting is not all about the weight on the bar but what we carry in all aspects of life that will show our true strength. The goal of Project Onyx is to fight against systemic racism by eliminating the disparities that black Americans and other POC face in the health and fitness world. The link to Project Onyx is below!
