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

@slreed You’d be surprised. God forbid i actually want my athlete to follow rules and not make excuses for bullshit behaviors. You sound like a pleasurable member to work with as well!!!

 

[dawn16]

@devonian Oh brother... This is what I always say about cheaters...

If you pay for 90 reps but only do 89 who really is getting cheated.

 

[devonian]

@dawn16 Haha i used to have a member that would say something like this!!!

Me: hey why don’t you scale down the reps

Athlete: i paid for these reps so I’m going to do them all and get my money’s worth!

Lol still cracks me up to this day.

 

[dawn16]

@devonian Literally never heard anyone say this.

 

[devonian]

@dawn16 Me either.

@devonian I have always struggled with my weight, and I used to do Weight Watchers. This reminds me of my attitude towards that, where I only got so many 'points' worth of food in a day, and would sometimes sneak something unhealthy and think "I just won't count it". Well, how the hell does that help anything!? How will we ever improve if we are cheating ourselves. And that's just it, you are cheating yourself in the end.

 

[devonian]

@jdw6cf Great analogy!

 

[owlsight]

@devonian now that the open doesn't matter, tons of cheating will start happening

 

[dawn16]

@devonian There are athletes in less shape than me who sign up for the Open, and i dont sign up becuase i'm not quite up to hittting hte standards yet, and ive beend in CF for 3 years now.

 

[mobileleprechaun]

@devonian "Not going to the games" is this year's rally cry to justify all kinds of things just like last year's was "train for the unknown" as a way to explain why the hspu "standard" keeps changing.

 

[devonian]

@mobileleprechaun I gotta say I’m glad to see that stupid measurement for hspu gone lol

 

[ebguy]

@devonian what are you trying to become, the motivational speaker of crossfit coaches or something? lol these posts are corny.

 

[devonian]

@ebguy Yep, new career move.

 

[log49]

@devonian I never understood why people would cheat reps and movement standards.. all you're doing is shitting on your ability to get stronger and fitter . Dummies .

[vendetta]

@devonian I'm just trying to get in shape and have fun. Chill.

 

[devonian]

@vendetta Good for you buddy! Lol but what does it have to do with people cheating in the open or not meeting standards for the workout?!

 

[vendetta]

@devonian That's just me, feel free to get your level out and make sure I squat to parallel.

 

[nkurumeh]
