make the workout what you want, don't kip if you don't want, explode off the pushup or not as the case may be, but whatever the end result, don't cheat yourself. Timing is just one benchmark of many, and an arbitrary figure in itself. Don't finish faster for the sake of finishing faster.

e.g. if I do step ups and finish at the same time as someone else doing bench jumps, do I delude myself into thinking I've achieved the same result? No, didn't think so, but it's a start as a substitute until you can do bench jumps properly, at which time your timing may suffer, but who cares...

One day, at the wrong time, the wrong age, in the worst scenario possible, you will be asked to accomplish your very best; that is when you have to rise to the occasion, or at least fail trying.

Well said Bro, I totally agree esp the line, don't finish faster for the sake of finishing faster, make the movement or rep legit.
