Turned 58 today. I always try a 30" box jump to gauge myself. Still got it!!!

    I have never been comfortable jumping so I think you are awesome at any age.

    Cheers, h.

    What a great way to mark your birthday, Niner, especially as those birthday numbers move higher.

    Also, happy birthday!

    Smart to use one of those cushioned ones!! I see pics from friends all the time that attempt a high one with the old all wood ones (I have one of those!).

    Nice job.

    No kidding, Mike! I think I would be capable of a higher box jump than I currently do, but I just have this image of not jumping high enough and breaking my nose on the box!

    Happy Birthday!!

    :lol: There are a few things that I think about twice these days. At a certain age I started worrying a lot more about injuries. I'm with middlehatch, I wouldn't even try that so you're awesome!

    Very well done. I"m debating with myself whether to try that at the gym or not. I'd probably chicken out!
