WODtegrity
I started thinking whether me WODing on my own every day puts my WODtegrity into question (umm, yes, WODtegrity is a real word now in our circle). No one is there to really make sure I hit the right depth on my squats or that my chest actually hits the bar on my pullups. Frankly, no one would know if I did Fran with 45lbs and jumping pullups and then ran around telling everyone about my sub-3 minute PR. But that’s just the thing. No one would know. I would know. Me. The person who appreciates those precious 60 minutes I have every day to really focus on making myself stronger in a country where I dodge camels on my way to work. Those 60 minutes are gifts to me – why would I violate that time by half-assing my workouts or performing sub-par movements? Maintaining that integrity – when no one knows or even cares – is what integrity is all about.
