@devonian Who cares about “the games”... I like running and cycling as well and enter races and ain’t thinking about the Olympics. Sportsmanship is sportsmanship, if you can’t do it right don’t do it.
@devonian I'm tired of seeing the shit form from people posting videos of PRs they shouldn't attempt. Also I agree with you. Especially when we are talking about competition.
@devonian Shaving reps in class is toxic? If it's the end of a 15 min AMRAP, I can either spend the last minute getting 3 more pull-ups, or skip the last 5 reps and do 20 air squats instead.
@johnquezon29 That's not shaving reps - that's scaling/modifying the WOD. Totally appropriate, but don't count those 20 air squats as valid reps if you were supposed to complete 5 pullups before moving onto the air squats. They're just work you did, which is great, but they shouldn't be scored at all or should be scored only as part of a non-prescribed WOD score. No one has a problem with someone modifying the workout to better suit their goals or limitations, only with thinking the modified WOD equals the prescribed WOD when recording their score on a public whiteboard of some sort.
@johnquezon29 I scale all the time. Just don't mark it as rx, and put a note in to show how you modified it. (the note is for myself. when we do a similar workout in future, I like to look back at how I've done it in the past to get a better gauge on what I should be aiming for).
