CoT:
Matthew 6:7: “But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathens, for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.” This applies to repetitions of an exercise: do not do vain repetitions Vain repetition = sacrificing form to get more reps
Rather, cut back on your reps if you need to modify the exercise.
This applies also in life—be genuine and put in a real effort rather than just putting in a show. Focus on self-improvement, not your vanity.
