It has been brought to my attention that there may be some rep skipping going on during the wods. I know we are all just trying to get in better shape and health but some of us take this pretty seriously. Please DONT SKIP REPS, in the end your only hurting yourself. There is no real way to police this unless we count for each other but that would be ridiclous. We are all on the honor system so please be honest. When ever you skip a rep a cute kitten AND puppy die!
