In the past couple of days I've had conversations about the risks and impact of people "gaming" gtFtr to try and appear to be fitter than they actually are.

To my mind there's a flaw in the reasoning... who would lie about their workout results?

But there probably are folks who'd use the anonymity of the Internet to make claims about their prowess... though I'm not sure who they'd be impressing or fooling.

@gtFtr Situps 20 sets 50 reps

when you're actually built like the Jeff Albertson ... no-one will take you that seriously. For that lie to work you must be sure that no-one you know in real life follows you on Twitter, never post your picture online and certainly never follow it with a twitter about your 6 Twinkie lunch.

At the end of the day who are you gaming if the goal is to get healthy?

If you claim something that you can't do ironically it may, because of the public nature of the Twitter timeline and gtFtr, actually introduce a hidden motivator to work towards that goal that you've been claiming as fact in case you are exposed?

Who knows. It'll be interesting to see how many supermen start visiting gtFtr and posting their results..
