This. I have no problem with people who do reps to failure, but I do have a problem with reps for time. As you get tired, your form gets worse and worse. This is fine for calisthenics, (hard to tear something while doing push-ups) but it's bad for heavier weight, and it's ridiculously dangerous for technical lifts like clean and snatch.
I do enjoy joking about WODs, though. "Okay - I'm gonna do AMRAP snatch on a bosu ball, and then do box jumps onto another bosu ball!"
- shasta 12y agoWhy is it that 'this' has appeared as a one word response in 3 of the 6 sibling responses to this question? Is it related to the subject matter? Should I start reading 'This.' in a meat-head voice?
- omegaham 12y agoI guess it's another way of saying "I agree." I haven't even thought about its connotations, but I do notice that a lot of people say it on /r/fitness. Maybe it is a meathead thing.
- Jtsummers 12y agoI noticed it on reddit in general, not specific to /r/fitness. I don't know if it started there, but it's become pretty widespread as a form of agreement in other forums I frequent and in real life with friends and coworkers using it in their speech.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoMore like "I agree strongly, your comment captures my exact thoughts, and brings up a very important point". Something I actually learned on HN, but it seems to be imported from Reddit and generally is frowned upon here if sole content of a comment.
