Thanks. I was trying to differentiate between the fact that the low ones don't bother my shins, before meesta crossfit benjiMOARS could rip on me for being a pansy and only jumping 10"!

 

I wasn't ripping on you either haha. When I box jump anything over 24," I use a separate box to step down after every jump. I have knees and a back that were slammed a lot from carrying a 100#+ ruck and fast-roping and rappelling out of helicopters, so unless I have no other option, the extra box helps a TON.

 

Yep thats pretty much the standard for me now. 42 is max. Still got a ways to go to catch you.

^ yummmm

 

I figured that was your standard, you freaking BEAST!! My max was 56" (I think, maybe 54") when I left Iraq in September. Who says white men can't jump? WTF am I saying anyway; I'm black from the waist down.

 

That's a good idea. I actually haven't tried to max out height for a regular old box jump. I suppose I should. As I mentioned I actually clear or jump over the 34-36" box. The highest I have gone stopping on top is a 24" with a bosu ball on top of it (flat side down of course) and a 40lb weight vest 4x12 (I weigh 205).

 

I've been working out for the last couple years, specifically for the last 6 mos. doing Interval training. I just don't run because when I did boot camp I got the shin pain, pushed through until I just couldn't. Then I rested for 8 weeks and started up light, they came right back. With Insanity, it's just something I'll have to work around I guess. I will always have a weakness there.

I'm trying to be conscious and bend/squat down when I land, but after 7 or 8 of those suckers I ain't floatin like a butterfly that's for sure!

 

What kind of shoes are training in? Something like Vibrams, Frees, or Air Max, ReZig etc..?

 

Ran a 5k today, 4 minutes slower than last time. Damn you school!
