That's Almost As Tall As I Am

Yeah, I'm thinking about trying the 24" box at CrossFit Central. Um...

  1. Are you kidding!? I still do step-ups on the 24"! And, BTW, I don't feel guilty...

  2. You can do it. I started training at a gym where we used 20 inchers, and now the new gym uses 24. I tire out quicker but the jumps were no problem, mostly mental. (and I'm heavy and short, for what it's worth)

  4. Ryan! I'm awestruck. When you can jump 64 inches, will you come to Austin and jump over me?! That would be cool.

  5. Melissa,

    It's a deal!! I'm orginally from Dallas, so I visit often.

    Say hi to everyone at CC from friends at 801.

    Thanks again for the props :-D

  6. I love watching videos of people doing insane box jumps, and Moody, yours just might be the most insane yet. (To fully divulge my geekdom, I watched this three times, jaw dropped, starry-eyed.)

  9. Thanks for all the comments!!

    Anniebug, I am 5 foot 9. The box jump is almost 91 percent of my height.

  10. That's incredible...if only I had a couple more inches on me and a little more power in my legs, and then maybe I could be a beastly jumper.
