I’m so tired of hearing “it’s not like they’re going to the games...”

@devonian and those people are being completely unfair not only to the competition but to EVERYONE in their gym. most cheaters are getting the "best" or one of the "better" scores in the gym and will be having other gym members looking up to them if they cant see that they are cheating. how dare they set that example! i dont give a shit what your score is, as long as you are safe, having fun and getting better. and to all the cheaters out there, its not hard to see that you are shaving reps or no repping the shit out of a workout. do better! SMH!
 
@devonian People laughed at me when i said "You have to keep your shoes on during The Open"

It's in the rulebook.

And what happens Friday night? We have 4 TOP athletes all take off their shoes.
 
@acts2416 If you'd like to further your reading:

"1.13 - OPEN WORKOUTS - FORMAT AND APPROVED EQUIPMENT/ATTIRE

medicine balls, pull-up bars, gymnastic rings, jump ropes, dumbbells and other equipment commonly found in a CrossFit-affiliated gym.
CrossFit Inc. will not supply or make available any equipment.)
• Required amount of weight (NOTE: All weights will be released in pounds. It is the athlete’s responsibility to use the correct poundage. If
kilogram plates are used, the athlete will need to use appropriate combinations of plates to achieve the correct poundage. Collars or clips
are not to be counted in the total weight. For the purpose of CrossFit Games competitions, 15-kg barbells will be considered to weigh 35
lb., and 20-kg barbells will be considered to weigh 45 lb.)
• Time domain or time limit

methods CrossFit selects. Point values for finishing position will be released before the start of the workout.
• Adjustments or scaling by division, if any
• Filming and submission guidelines, if any
In all stages of CrossFit Games competition, it is the athlete’s responsibility to adhere to the workout format. This includes performing all
required movements to the described standard, counting and completing all required repetitions, using the required equipment and loads,
meeting the time requirements, and meeting all submission standards.
Modifying the workout format in any way is prohibited and will void an athlete’s score. Only CrossFit Inc. may provide official scaled versions
of workouts for athletes to perform.
Proper workout attire, including shoes, is required for all events. No attire shall interfere with a judge’s ability to determine whether the required
movement standards and expectations for range of motion are being met."


So if you'd so kindly PUT YOUR FUCKING SHOES ON.
