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

Turns out if one just misses, the edge of the box will nicely scrape off a few layers of skin from one's shin.

...and perhaps proving some of the Cross Fit memes....I promptly did the rep again as well as I think did another rep to complete the set and only tipped the box over after noticing the blood on the box 🤷‍♂️

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
