I think part of the problem is that the human body wasn't built to be as "athletic" as some of these trainers are making it.

This is true. Dr Chao was talking about that on XM a couple weeks ago. Basically said an ACL is an ACL. A world class athlete doesn't have any bigger or stronger ligaments than any other person and add in the ridiculous stress these cuts and pure strength put on the joints/ligaments.

Granted there are of course genetic exceptions, and athletes probably have more flexibility in them from stretching/etc. But at the end of the day, ligaments are only so strong.
