Luke B... rep or no rep? You decide!
"Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty."
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
We are all competitors in one way or another. It's human nature to be competitive, and if we weren't we would find ourselves taking more steps backwards than forward. Having that want to be great is something that drives us and makes us the amazing individuals we are. We all want to be great and make strides and gains in our workouts, but when did we start sacrificing quality in our movements and integrity within ourselves to reach that end point faster? We didn't...
The CrossFit community is unique in that it provides each of us with the opportunity to come together and participate in a sport that is intense, yet fun. There are workouts that call for one to be intense, but never become so overwhelmed in the intensity that they lose sight of what they truly want their end result to be, which is long-term, constantly improving results. We are always aiming at ways to improve, so why would you cheat?
At CrossFit Impact, we have all come together to build an amazing family-like community. We have created a diverse, well-rounded team of athletes who share the same passion for the Sport of Fitness. Even though some workouts may call to be "scored" as an individual workout, at the end of that hour the fact remains the same; we are a team. The same people that you sweat, laugh, cry and sometimes even puke with, are the very people that help you get through each and every one of your WODs. When you cheat on your workout, not only are you lying to yourself, but you are being dishonest with all of the people who helped you push through that 20 minutes of hell. How does skipping reps become a measurable standard for your workouts long-term? It doesn't...
In less than 2 weeks the Open workouts will begin and you can bet we will be cracking down even more on your form and we will be counting your reps...every. single. one. You wouldn't go into work 30 minutes early to go on Facebook and say you were "working", so why would you skip reps on your met-con?
We will be watching...
