"Rep cutting" has forever been a controversial topic inside of CrossFit gyms since CrossFit's inception. It's almost unavoidable when you take a data driven, competitive training modality like CrossFit, and couple it with peoples' inherit need/want to push themselves to be better. But shorting range of motion or fibbing on scores does just the opposite, it takes away from our fitness, and it is only hurting YOU.

There have been many articles/topics of discussion on rep cutting in the CrossFit community for years now, some more damning than others. We wanted to broach this subject today not from a place of finger pointing or blame, but from a place of understanding, with the hopes that all of us can come out of this conversation with a renewal in our dedication to our training. Not only from a place of becoming better physically, but in the hopes that we can approach our next training session with humility and integrity. 

We hope you enjoyed the conversation and welcome any input on the topic from our community.

This episode begins our series on body image. The National Eating Disorders Association defines body image as “how you see yourself when you look in the mirror,” or more broadly your belief about your appearance, how you feel about your body weight, shape or size, and how a person feels inside their own body.

Over the course of the next few weeks, we will be embarking on a journey to find varying perspectives and stories on people's body image, their struggles, successes, and motivations. 

Today, we begin by speaking to Brendon Jalbert. Brendon brings us a unique perspective as someone who went from underweight to overweight, seemingly overnight, and the struggles both physically and mentally that brought.

Great weather, beach tips, barbeques and vacations usually mean paying less attention to what you are eating. But it doesn't have to be that way. You can still enjoy your summer to the fullest while eating to hit your goals!
