May 2022: CrossFit 201 Kim has wanted to get a box jump for a while now. Five years to be exact. That's a long time to chase a goal. After five years it would be easy to give up. To write it off as just something that's not going to happen. I mean, why should today be any different than the last 1,825 days? But today was different for Kim. She stepped up to the box, swallowed hard, and jumped. And succeeded. Two feet on the box with full extension. Good rep. A good rep five years in the making.

My box jump fail? Totally unplanned. I was filming this, focused on nailing the reps—until a split-second distraction resulted in a misstep and near fall. I’m not here to bash box jumps, but let’s be real: they’re one of the riskier movements in CrossFit programming. My latest YouTube video dives into a new research study on CrossFit injuries—highlighting the most injury-prone exercises and the areas of the body most at risk. Drop “vid” in the comments if you want the link, and I’ll DM it to you

the higher the jump the failer the fail 😆 #boxjump #fitness #fail | FailArmy
