Injuries/Gym Accidents

So we had a significant injury today in the gym involving those damn metal boxes!

First of all, please be careful when you are training and always pay attention and focus! This cannot be overstated!

Also, when we box jump from now on, if you are a little sketchy on your box height you will either use the tires or bumpers, bumpers on the box bases etc. I know this can be subjective and we may think we're fine on the box until we wipe out but please use your judgment. If the box freaks you out at all, don't use it! Use bumpers or tires, simple as that.

Tonight it was kipping pull-ups using the boxes. From now on, if there are enough bumpers to build your base under the pull-up bar use those. Period. If you must use a box, make sure the box is squarely under your feet so that you have no trouble finding the middle of it each rep.

We may re-evaluate how we use the boxes but until that time please use the above precautions.

Fran, I am soooooooo sorry you hurt yourself training. I feel awful! You were such a trooper the way you worked to calm Wade down in the midst of it all. Did you see how freaked out he was?! We are all thinking of you. Please don't hesitate to let your CF Littleton family know if you need anything at all.
