That's fantastic. Now if you lose balance, you have a higher likelihood of hurting yourself. At least he is using the other boxes as stairs, wouldn't want to have to climb onto the big box all by yourself.

As a contribution to the thread, walked into the locker room this morning and there was a dude standing naked in the middle of the room eating a protein bar. Guess he couldn't wait until after he showered and got dressed.
had to train at a gym within walking distance to home the other night, because my car was getting fixed.
was doing 10x10 squats so was in the rack for a while.
guy behind me started jumping over those old style aerobics steps that you can increase the height of. he is taking a one step 'run up' and hopping over it. he starts getting pretty high with it. as anyone onlooking would instantly think he is just showing off.
wife comes up to me and says this is going to end in tears.
sure enough eventually he gets a bit brave.
on my second last fucking set i unrack the bar and he misses the jump and shit goes flying everywhere. my wife is behind me and i can see her smirking trying not to laugh in the mirror. i knew if she started laughing i would and lose the bar.
luckily she walked away and i continued on with the set.
needless to say pretty much everyone looked over as he came crashing down.
he then gingerly put it all away.
don't know where these people come from, but they are out there.
Now this is a major reason why I think trainers combining life and mindfulness coaching to training is a terrible idea. Im training a client minding my own business and she points over at another trainer and her client and mentions that it looks like therapy time. For a whole 60 minute session the trainer sat on the floor with the client and had a 'therapy' session. People aren't qualified to do this shit!
a lot of them aren't qualified to train people either
I'm almost sorry I'm missing all this free entertainment by lifting at home.
Almost.
This is a still - and my mind is screaming - "what the fuck is he doing?". It's like watching the 6th sense and never finding out about ghost Bruce Willis - but yet knowing there's an awesome twist. I've done the yogas. There's some similar stuff - but none involving ceiling damage with a kettlebell. I do the hip aeroplanes for re/pre/all the habs, but the kettlebell would be an unhelpful balance fuck, the trailing leg is a little low, and the addition of the podium suggests an actual takeoff intent that I've never incorporated - even if I might occasionally make 'brrrrrrrrrrpppppppp' noises when I do them. So why? Why is this happening?
We have a super adorable version of this at my gym: there are a few guys who teach a terrifying Krav Maga class (with all the usual dirty tricks, e.g. eye gouging, ear pulling, elbow popping, penis stabbing, etc) but for an hour each day they do a children's self-defense class for a bunch of munchkins aged 3-10. The whole thing consists of 5 minutes of highly uncoordinated drills followed by a sit-down where the instructors try to get the little dummies to remember things like their parents' phone numbers or what to do if a stranger approaches them. Today, the instructors wasted several minutes arguing with a six-year-old girl who insisted that if attacked, it is faster to flee by cartwheeling instead of by running.
