Cherry-pick. - cher·ry–pick verb \ˈcher-ē-ˌpik\

When an athlete hand selects workouts that seem to confirm their belief about what they are and aren't capable of doing, what they “need” or “don’t need” to do, what seems “extreme”, or what will get them fit. The result is a contradiction between the resulting capabilities and fitness level of the athlete. Selective workout visitation is a pathway to plateau. Cherry pickers are easily spotted and can typically be seen in all the latest gear and often described as being, "All show and no go"

Examples of cherry-picking:

“That looks hard, I’m not going.”

“I don’t like running, I’m not going.”

“It’s “just” a lifting day, I don’t need that.”

Guy 1: Hey look at that guys sweet shoes, knee sleeves and wrist wraps he must be legit.

Guy 2: Nah, he's a cherry picker he'll be walking in the warmup.
