C: doing a box jump
D: diving for a football

Responses:

what is a box jump? -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 10:27 10
- I knew what a box jump was, I still don't understand the point of them though. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 10:46 4
  - Polymetric exercise particularly helpful with explosive movements like, well, jumping. More generally good lower body exercise as long as joints - JD Jul 21, 10:53
  - It's the gateway drug for parkour. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 10:50 2
    - I'll stick with butter. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 10:52 1
      - Hah :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 10:54
- just what it sounds like -- (link) - oblique Jul 21, 10:30 [youtube] 1
  - oh its an exercise thing. No wonder I had no clue! :) -- nm - Jovian Jul 21, 10:35
- You jump on a box. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 10:29 2
  - no, seriously, what is it? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 10:29 1
    - You jump on a box. -- (link) - JD Jul 21, 10:30
Also, don't feel too bad - I injured my torso laying in bed on Tuesday and it still hurts. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 10:13
A was a nightmare for us. Our new king mattress was too tight for part of the stairwell ceiling. - David Jul 21, 10:10 6
- when I got a mattress earlier this year I paid for delivery and setup because I knew the stairs would be an issue - decline Jul 21, 10:19 4
  - We originally did, but I actually bitched on ST about getting charged $149. So, we canceled drove across town to pick it up, and then did that. - David Jul 21, 10:21 3
    - Curtain rod -- nm - JD Jul 21, 10:26 2
      - Kim came downstairs a few weeks ago and was absolutely beaming. She'd put up the shower curtain rod in a matter of minutes without me. - David Jul 21, 10:30 1

- Pivot! -- nm - budice Jul 21, 10:11
C -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 10:08 15
- There it is - Reagen Jul 21, 10:09 14
  - During the launch or the landing? -- nm - Max Jul 21, 10:27 1
    - Landing. Felt it the moment I started to straighten out. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 10:32
  - I have a scar on my shin when I got over ambitious and tried a workout without scaling the box jump from the 30" height - JD Jul 21, 10:24 8
    - My scrape is just now healing from a couple weeks ago and I wasn't even doing a hard jump. I can do 20" no problem all the time. I can do 24" in - oblique Jul 21, 10:26 7
      - Woot! to the second line of the IM - JD Jul 21, 10:29 6
        
        oh yeah, we did that once. Anything "gymnastic" is pretty challenging for me. I'm just now getting the hang of kip swings - oblique Jul 21, 10:31 5
        
        Ooooo...prep for toes to bar. Another movement that I never completed and always scaled. - JD Jul 21, 10:34 4
        
        Took me almost a year just to be able to do a single pull up. I'm still only doing a few at a time. Our class work doesn't lend itself - oblique Jul 21, 10:37 3
        
        If your schedule allows as well as work out space, I'd recommend a few minutes after class to focus on pull ups - JD Jul 21, 10:45 2
        
        Thanks. Counter-intuitive but totally makes sense especially as I learned how much pull ups were back muscles and not arms. I'll see about giving - oblique Jul 21, 10:49 1
        
        8-) Though perhaps consider skipping the extra work before a workout that includes pull up type movements - JD Jul 21, 10:56
  - old people like you should know better -- nm - decline Jul 21, 10:12
  - yeah, but a 30" box jump for you is like a footstool for us mortals -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:10 1
    - The 30" orientation of the standard cross fit box is just flat out wrong. 20" x 24" x 30"....that shouldn't be set up on the small surface - JD Jul 21, 10:37
B. No one is moving a mattress in this heat and you only hurt your shins doing box jumps :) -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:07
