There is some debate among us on the correct form for a box jump. Does one have to fully extend their hips when at the top of the box to count the repetition? Does one have to have their heel fully on the box for the repetition to count? Apparently, this is a debate everywhere. Since I couldn't find anything "official" on the Crossfit main site, here are a few links to the discussion boards for your consideration:

Ultimately, since I believe that none of us are competing, the workout is one's own. Do what you feel is correct and what you feel is legitimate; and just prepare a smart-assed comment for those who correct your form.

Friday the 13th workout SCARY!!! at least the post WOD was
110507
21-15-9 reps for time of:
24" Box jump
75 pound Power snatch
Chest to bar Pull-up
After today's WOD Zac and I went up to the Dog handlers pad to get chased down by there Dogs. It was pretty crazy, those dogs are no joke. Thank goodness for that thick, padded suit. I will post the video, if I can get it to post, later. Sorry we missed you Ron. We can do it again before we leave, I am sure Danny and Zane will want a go at it too. Right Guys?

"Griff"
For time:
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards
Run 800 meters
Run 400 meters backwards
Paul 15:04, this was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. Running backwards uses a new set of muscles, mine are still feeling it
