I just started box jumping a month ago. I've started out with 24'. and am going to 30' next week. I feel comfortable with the 24'. another guy at the gym who has inspired me to box jump gave me this tip that I use now and he always does. What he does is he sets the lower boxes beside the highest box he jumps to and just walks down like he is on the stairs. makes it a lot easier on your knees. I skip a lot so I'm sure that helps in my leg strength. I'm 60
Good stuff! This fits in with something I read year ago about how the brain doesn't really recognize 'not'. For example, you tell yourself over and over, 'don't hit the tree, don't hit the tree', wham, you hit the tree .The idea being you are fixated on the tree, so, you hit it! Same idea here, look at where you want to be, and you'll go there. (Also a great golf tip, don't take you eye off the ball and you'll hit it, every time!). Really like your videos. Thank you!
Yes I think this help alot... I love box jumping... .... in thebpassni may have done it slighty wrong and that was for fun... now with those helpful tips I'll do themnroght and have fun.
I used to fear box jumps before joining crossfit. Then began to love them...UNTIL! i ended up shinning myself from a box jump, pretty god damn bad. left shin in Jan 2019 ended up swollen, for months, was going to phsio for it. I thought this is gettin too expensive now, and im not seeing any improvments here, so went to GP. He told me 'you've got additional bone here, that will heel on its own, in 2-3 YEARS!' so dont waste ur money on phsio!?? :o im now terrified of Box Jumps again lol. i still have one swollen leg compared to other. and its been 7 months :(
Omg me tooooooo! I also feared them then got to love them! Now I hate them! I fear them so much! Well I’ve hit my shins so many times and the last one did me in. It was so swollen it looked like I had two knee caps! I’m deathly afraid.
@@roxannerodriguez4100 After i got on top of the box my feet would always SLAM mt feet down too. Which is probably bad. I dont know HOW other people ca just siliently just jump on top with barely making a sound??
Hey I think your videos are great. Really liked this one as you tell people to look at the box. Nearly all videos I've watched tell you not to look at the box and just keep it in peripheral vision but I am definitely not comfortable with that. Would love some tips on box jump overs.
+Ross Warwick I'll see what I can come up with for Box Jump Overs! As for looking at the box- I really think it is good to start by looking, and finishing with it in your peripheral. Otherwise, you can definitely miss! Thanks for the kind words, man.

I "can't" jump unless I use my arms 😁 But I bend them instead of keeping them straight.. Thanks for the tips, your videos are always useful..

That sucks hope you get better. It's been five months since you posted this. Is it still swollen?

What height do you recommend for beginners?
This description is NOT for beginners. Absolutely.
