How do you “inadvertently” call someone stupid?

I can jump again!!!
It looks like I'm struggling lol, but I haven't jumped in so long. I'd like to start playing volleyball when I can jump good again. There is a place I went to in Dallas when I was around 265lbs and I had a blast; they play on Sundays and I could go Everytime I visit Code.

Knees out on the squats! If you haven't read Starting Strength, do so. You're an engineer, you'll like it.

M,

Nice job on the box jumps. Lots of people can’t do those!

Not an expert but I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to jump down from the box like that. Something something achilles tendon.

Just watched the video paying more attention.

Some people say to step off to protect the Achilles. I’ve never done that, but might be smart, especially at your current weight.

If you do jump off, stay springy and light. You come down sorta clompy and flat. That’s a lot of extra strain on the joints. I’ve been taught to jump off so you’re ready to start your next jump as soon as you land (even if you take a beat or two before jumping again).

Thanks guys.
I never heard of anyone getting hurt from jumping back off the box and I've never stepped down myself. When I do it next time I'll pay attention to how it feels when I come down.

If jumping down is a risk to your achilles, I'd think that

would make it more of a risk, no?

Just physics should indicate that if you land in a quarter squat instead of with fairly locked knees/hips that there will be more time to decelerate i.e. less force.

Tons of crossfitters have ruptured achilles jumping down. I would step down if I were you.

Also, you're landing way to heavy. You shouldn't hear a 'thump' when you land on the box. Explode through hips, jump basically straight up, land softly.
