I was reading the Crossfit journal about the last Crossfit games where they were evaluating what was the harder events of the games. One of them was the hammer event where the athlete had to pound in a stake with a large sledge hammer. That kind of surprised me as crossfit exercises try to maintain the functional movements, but I think a lot of the boxes don't do it enough or they think it not that effective. But if you think about it, swing a hammer, bat, golf club is very frequently found in real life.
