Shins hurting and bruising from jump rope

Shin splints?

Wear shoes, man. Take a few weeks off.

And "pushing through it" is like saying "customer service, I'd like to return this temporary acute pain and trade it for a nagging chronic condition." Don't be like one of those gym bros always wondering about bicep tendonitis from the preacher curl bench.

I speak from a position of both hypocrisy and authority...on a gimpy hip that I've ran into powder.

Also, stop paying taxes. It'll help. People that pay taxes have more inflammation.

Jump? You can jump? I think a rhino can get more ground clearance than I can.

I am pretty sure the force your joints are absorbing when you jump and land goes up exponentially in relation to your bodyweight. Even if not, it surely is not linear.

I am 220 and don't jump rope for this reason. I feel like 180 or so is when I can run and jump rope without injury but that is when I was younger. At 280lbs that is a ton of force you are absorbing * huge volume of jumps.

My hard conditioning is high rep body weight box squats, sled drag/prowler, bulgarian bag, push ups, some kind of high rep row then walking outdoors for steady state. I don't do anything involving jumping or ballistic anything anymore because it is not worth the injury risk as a beat up old man.

I love boxing and would love to learn to jump rope like Mayweather but it is guaranteed injury for me pretty much.
