They're calling these guys the fittest men on the planet.
LOL at a bunch of dudes all lined up on the beach to do bodyweight squats.

They are significantly better at climbing ropes than me and thus must have it all figured out.

Yeah it's all about being fit enough to perform real world tasks. It just so happens that I often encounter the situation in which I need to climb up a rope as quickly as possible. Guess I need to start CrossFit.

Yes. Compound movements performed with barbells offer no real world application. Doing burpees however makes you really good at doing burpees.
