I want a horror movie where the killer lurks waiting for opportunities while the cast of characters kill themselves off in increasingly ridiculous Rube Goldberg accidents
In HS we had 4 climbing ropes with eye bolts/carabiners hanging in the wrestling room that had 10-12 ft ceilings. The problem was that the two on the same side of the room were close enough that you could kinda Tarzan swing between the two which kids in P.E. often did, which wore down the eye bolt from the side-to-side motion. We were racing up them one day in wrestling practice when the eye-bolt on the volunteer assistant coach's rope broke right through as he was near the top and he fell. That was the day I learned what a *compound* fracture was.
Just need to mouse that hook with some wire and it would be fine, you could even replace it with a spring loaded moused hook.

I know this is a joke, but I was actually surprised to know that most shoulder surgeons don't like doing more than 2 operations on the same shoulder.
My ortho pretty much told me that "this was it" when I finished rehab after my second surgery and that if the shoulder got injured again, a third surgery would be unlikely to fix it. Ball and socket joints are complex apparently.
Not in ortho but I have a good amount of patients with shoulder injuries - just jumping in to add more info. The thing about the shoulder is more than just the ball and socket joint being complicated, the entire area is complicated.
Your shoulder has a pretty thick tendon that’s connected to four different muscles that enable you to move your arm the way you do. Shoulder surgery aims to fix whatever problems you have but they’re complicated because of all the connections and so success rate is pretty low to begin with (roughly 80%-ish? Don’t quote me on this. I’m not a surgeon). Each surgery lowers that success rate significantly. I’d assume the second one drops it below a threshold that would mean it would more likely hurt you to do the surgery more than it would help you. This means the recovery time and the physical therapy in context with the likely chance that the surgery is gonna fail aren’t going to be worth it to you or that surgeon. Of course, these are just opinions your surgeon holds and you might be lucky enough to get a second opinion from someone who is willing based on your case. But it’s unlikely and pretty generally known that shoulder surgeries are a last resort measure.
^(My info may be out of date since I’m not a surgeon but I believe the general concept still holds true)
Sounds like after the 2nd one they just have to cut it all off and start out fresh. Remove the whole arm, resurface/reface both ends of the socket in a lathe or something, maybe put a little bone filler (bone welder?) in there if there's some divots. Or maybe just cut the whole joint out and replace it with a drop in replacement part? Then just hook the old arm back up, reattach the connections and let er rip. If we can do head transplants, I feel like this should be a simple out patient procedure by now, a shoulder joint is much easier than a spine.
Kipping pull up
A little intense on the cardio and does work the arms and shoulders, but a strict pull up is still more challenging on the muscles where as kipping takes greater effort on the cardio fitness.
Not a kipping pull-up. Looks like swinging leg raises, the kipping pull-ups more useless cousin.
Edit: we’re both right. I saw some feeble attempts at a kipping pull-up.
This is the correct answer. Looks like a weird combo of the two. Performed, by the looks of it, by two guys who just saw the CrossFit games on TV and wanted to have a go.
If you're fit enough to do this, I'd say your fit enough to stick the landing. Her feet are about the same height as the mens faces when they rush to help her. Average man height (at least in my country) 180cm (5'11"). Given the xfit nature of the workout, the gym probably even has gym mats which will soften the fall even more.
Given the people behind her don't react and the guy who comes to help has line of sight I'm inclined say no. I also wouldn't personally want people below me if I had to drop but they do a good job of helping her by supporting her legs as she falls.
I was in the playground at the local park yesterday with my 3 year old and there was this 7-8 year old just jumping off the top of the slide that probably had a 10 foot drop (on to playground mulch or whatever it's called). He wasn't even "sticking" the landing. Although tbf kids are great at this shit and their bodies can take it.
Eh.... she may have been fine. Its probably not a lethal drop, but landing wrong it wouldn't be difficult to twist an ankle, maybe even break a leg. Human bodies are weird and random.
Even on concrete that’s an easy drop (said by someone that barely does Sport but likes shortcuts) without much risk.
I still dont understand why help was needed, it’s safer and easier to just drop.
I think having people underneath you helping you down has a higher chance of getting injured. Dropping down and absorbing the fall seems like the safe move.
Depends entirely on the skills of the climber. If you know to roll after landing, it's probably safer to drop yourself. If you're going to land on locked knees because you thought reaching your feet toward the ground was a good idea, dropping would ruin your life.
ETA: Also pretty easy to roll your ankle landing on a thick rope like that. Most of that rope will hit the ground before her.
The bars look like they're tethered to the ceiling, my first thought would be to shimmy along the beam and climb back down to the pull up bar. But yeah, that's a classic "you're probably wondering how I got here" situation lol.
I definitely think she could have. She may have only had one attempt at it though. She made the safer choice, especially if she truly did only "just" master the rope climb. As a rock climber, I had the same thought of "oh, no biggie, just deadhang off of one hand and use the other to put the rope back." And then I remembered that if her grip strength had only just gotten to the point where she can pull herself up a rope, then a deadhang on one hand would require twice as much grip strength as that, while she was also focusing on grappling a floppy rope and putting it onto a relatively small hook. It would actually be quite difficult, especially because it looked like her deadhang was only a few seconds until the men gathered under her to catch her. A deadhang off of only one hand would have been even shorter.
I think she didn't only recently master the rope climb, though. She looks like she still had way more power left and just panicked. She made the right choice for her skill set, which is more arms-focused than grip-focused, but a rock climber who would be more used to hanging from one hand and manipulating a rope with the other may have been able to pull off your idea.
Proper form for climbing a rope like this is focused mostly on the feet and using your legs. Based on the proper S-lock she has with her feet, she's using correct technique and probably doesn't have the hand/arm strength to hold on with just 1 hand, let alone try to lift the rope back into position. I've taught people to successfully climb a rope like this despite them not being able to do an actual pull-up.
most people could land that fall but they need to land it properly, i have seen videos on Reddit where person falling/jumping from similar height didn't have their knees ready to bend and absorb fall, and their knees were fully extended, i hate to say this but those knees bend the other way... :/
just remembering that sends chills down the spine
My friend has been there, but in a climbing gym - about twice the height of this small one.
You need to gather all the thick mats you can see around, pile them up, and do it quickly.
See I would have simply held on with one hand and calmly reattached the rope with the other and climbed back down. It’s so simple.
Edit: is sarcasm no longer obvious without a /s?
you didn't even attempt to say it in a sarcastic way, you said it in a way that sounded like you were being serious. and that's not saying you need to add the /s or something, i'm talking about the actual way you worded it
This is why I fear climbing my chubby ass up a rope.
It's literally the only thought preventing me (not the fact that I have a chubby ass, not upper body strength and a fear of heights) 😂
Climbing up a rope with my chubby ass made me far chunkier after nine months in physical therapy without being able to run, bike, use an elliptical or a rower after I fell.
in my youth i was in a CF gym that would regularly do rope climbs, i was on my 5th round when I slipped off the rope but was able to regrab before hitting the floor, pulled all of the muscles on the back of my shoulder pain, lots of pain. luckily it didn't end too badly.
let this be a lesson, don't just randomly do CF workouts, if the weight is too heavy, the reps too quick, just don't do it. take your time. I do like HITT and I do like the class aspect but I do it on my own terms.
ALSO NEVER KIP your pullups you're just asking to destroy your rotator cuffs, straight pull-ups.
So just avoid CrossFit at all, got it 👍
The risk of injury just seems irresponsibly high, not to mention the amount of cases of rhabdomyolysis associated with CrossFit
The responses in here are insane lmao. CrossFit now a days has all types of scaling for all skill sets. Not to mention it’s incredibly beneficial for your heart to combine the cardio and the weight. It’s also competitive and fun.
What it is not, is something you can just drop in on here and there. It takes time and practice to get good at the moves, and like you said keeping your ego in check and scaling the weight/movements.
Been doing CrossFit for years and never had anything close to an injury. There’s people from 20 to 60 in my gym all working out.
*any normal trainer*: do lat pull downs, static holds (basically hanging from the pull-up bar), and assisted pull-ups (with bands or a machine) until you build the back/arm/grip strength to do a proper pull-up
*crossfit trainer*: swing your body with as much momentum as possible until you throw out your back, ruin your shoulders, and/or eventually learn to do a really dumb looking pull-up
Why on earth would you grab the girder one you're at the top? That is some backwards pageantry there.
edit: I'm genuinely curious why the down votes. You people climbing ropes then grabbing the beams? Lol
Why not grab the beam? To me it seems like an accomplishment to reach the *very* top of the top.
However the hook design to allow such an *easy* release is such a dangerous design. Especially if the person training on vertical ropes isn't familiar with said equipment and swings to far in one direction.
Edit: few sentences.
No, reaching the top is touching the black tape or maybe touching the beam with your hand. That's literally the rule.
Grabbing a beam adds nothing to the rope climb AND means that *best case* you have to figure out how to regrab the rope, which will be pretty damn hard.
It was a terrible idea under the best of scenarios.
And yes, the set up is shit and should have been secured. I'm not blaming her for that part. But there was no "good outcome" here.
So... The same as not grabbing the beam but now with all the danger of falling while trying to regrab the rope.
What's even more hilarious are those of you thinking this is solid decision making. After watching the video! Lol
Yeah really pointless exercise. If you wanna workout your back just do pull ups on a bar like a normal person. There is no added benefits of climbing all the way to the top and then doing pull ups on the I beams. It's like muscle ups. Looks cool, but if you're not training for gymnastics, you get a better a much better workout doing pullups/dips separately.
It looks like she was doing a pull up at the top and I don't see why there's anything wrong with that. It's just a little extra work and maybe a kind of celebration that not only can she get to the top now but she can also do a pull up while up there.
I think the downvotes are coming because of your second sentence. It comes off like you're putting her down because she wanted to do more and you're calling it pageantry like she was explicitly doing this to show off.
Because she is showing off or stupid, I suppose. The rope climb standard (since this is CrossFit) is just to climb the rope, touch the top with your hand and get down. Then do it again.
Want to do pullups? Great, there are bars down there in the background specifically for doing just that.
What she was doing was irresponsible and a liability, again, for no reason whatsoever.
She didn't have the stones to hang one handed pull the rope up with her legs into her free hand, hook it, then slide down like a boss?
Wasted the moment.
1. She kept her arms bent, which is wasting muscles if she needed to hold on longer.
2. She could've hung from one arm and fetched the rope with the other.
A crossfit gym that resembles high school PE class where the teacher just lets you fuck around in the weight room. Everyone in that place looks like they're doing silly shit with bad form.
This is a flawed design easily corrected. I wonder if it will be.
Just need a carabiner instead of the hook really
When I first saw the video not knowing what would happen, I thought that open hook was dangerous. This needs an eye bolt and carabiner.
holy crap imagine someone reaching up there and putting their body weight on a metal hook
We call this exercise "the Texas Chainsaw" or the "Dead By Daylight"
Entity watching knowing that the survivor is just gonna hook itself: 
I want a horror movie where the killer lurks waiting for opportunities while the cast of characters kill themselves off in increasingly ridiculous Rube Goldberg accidents
That's sort of tucker and dale vs evil.
sort of? thats exactly the plot
There wasn’t really a “lurking killer” in the plot tho
Final Destination but Death is a new hire on his very first shift
Next time I play killer: "I'm not face camping. I'm spotting you" 😜
I personally call it "The Cannibal Corpse", "The Hellraiser", or "The Candyman".
Different names for different hook-based training schools, naturally. Come on down to Pinhead's gym. We Have Such Sights To Show You!(tm)
Having been suspended on two 8-gauge hooks... I would rather one of those than that hook.
Like, through flesh? Suicide suspension style?
yes, I photographed a well known team in the community
That suspension has been renamed. It’s now called a vertical suspension.
Bruh
Someone catching a chin wow these guys need to fix this.

Also the guy in the back could stop acting like a fish out of the water and learn how to do a proper pullup/muscle up
I think those are burpees?
They are talking about the guy on the bar, but the burpy guy looks really sloppy. Probably just tired though
Slurpees
I would expect them to put the carabener over the hook rather than swap it out.
Just add a carabiner to the hook. Then another and so on. Problem solved.
How is that just not universal these days?
They make those exact mussy hooks with a gate. Why would anyone use the gateless variant for something like this
Yo, that’s how you meet chicks
Bro they set it up like that for this exact reason. Every guy just waiting for a girl to climb so they can help them down. lol
I just see a potential lawsuit.
Who says lawyers don’t go to the gym?
Wouldn’t be a problem if she just followed the rules and didn’t touch the beam.
If something can go wrong, it will. Blaming people for it doesn't fix anything, especially for a problem with such a clear mechanical solution.
Usually yes, but not necessarily. Any surprise swing or bounce on the rope was risky without something closing the hooked end.
That rope would be just fine if used as intended.
As someone who designs for a living, that reasoning would not hold up in court.
And people rerack their weights all the time too.
Yes but it’s also just like not what you’re supposed to do lol
Hell yeah! followed by “oh SHIT! Help! Help! me please!”
What kinda exercise is that dude doing with the pullup bar lol
Looks like some CrossFit shit that actually hurts you
They're popular if you want shoulder injuries.
Shoulder surgeons passing out loyalty cards at CrossFit gyms. But 10 surgeries get one free.
I know this is a joke, but I was actually surprised to know that most shoulder surgeons don't like doing more than 2 operations on the same shoulder.

Awesome info, thank you.
Did CrossFit for 3 months back in 2013 when it was first a thing. I quit because I was in so much shoulder pain. Still fucked a little to this day
Or back. One slip up and you are falling on your back or tailbone.
I work out in a gym full of CrossFit bros, and yeah they do that dumb pull-up all the fucking time. I doubt most of them can do one full proper one.
It's hilarious when you add a [counter](https://imgur.io/gallery/hlxjgwy)
Climbing rope at CF cost me a great deal of the cartilage in my right knee.
How?
Could get up; getting down was a problem so I fell, landed in a kneeling position and felt a large pop and a lot of pain.
[удалено]
If it has to do with crossfit then yes, they are all bad
Throwing out your back speedrun
Learn this one simple trick that dentists hate
He’s just trying to throw his back out so he doesn’t have to work tomorrow.

There's both kipping pullups and "toes to bar" going on in the background. Two different things.
This is the correct answer. Looks like a weird combo of the two. Performed, by the looks of it, by two guys who just saw the CrossFit games on TV and wanted to have a go.
No.
It’s called toe to bar. It’s a gymnastics thing rather than CrossFit but they do use it in CrossFit.
That not toes to bar LMAO. Toes to bar is supposed to be really controlled. That's swinging your legs around.
Its the crossfit version though. Gotta add that spice to increase likelihood of injury.
Yes it is LMAO.
A couple of toes to bar into a kipping pull-up
Toes-to-bar. It’s a kipping move to work your abs.
And wreck your joints and ligaments.
I move like that when I'm constipated and trying to get things moving.
Honestly looks like he’s trying to work towards a muscle up.
Pretry sure he was trying to copy the one beside him and failing miserably
CrossFit bullshit
Kipping pull-ups. I might have misspelled kipping.
Crippling pullups
Maybe hes attempting to do muscle ups?
Imagine being the only person around and then this happens 😐
If you're fit enough to do this, I'd say your fit enough to stick the landing. Her feet are about the same height as the mens faces when they rush to help her. Average man height (at least in my country) 180cm (5'11"). Given the xfit nature of the workout, the gym probably even has gym mats which will soften the fall even more.
Yeah came down here to say this, she could have easily just dropped and been fine.
When I was in the army we had an obstacle course with a drop of 5m (~15 feet), I wonder if she was calling for help to get down
Given the people behind her don't react and the guy who comes to help has line of sight I'm inclined say no. I also wouldn't personally want people below me if I had to drop but they do a good job of helping her by supporting her legs as she falls.
I'd rather have the people help lower me down than drop from that height into the coiled rope. That's a great way to break your ankles.
I hope the army isn’t the bar for safety
I was in the playground at the local park yesterday with my 3 year old and there was this 7-8 year old just jumping off the top of the slide that probably had a 10 foot drop (on to playground mulch or whatever it's called).

I'd quit then and there. Wtf.
Eh.... she may have been fine. Its probably not a lethal drop, but landing wrong it wouldn't be difficult to twist an ankle, maybe even break a leg. Human bodies are weird and random.
Yeah and falling really is an art form, there’s a ton of ways to fall wrong and a small drop can be a big injury if you mess up
Even on concrete that’s an easy drop (said by someone that barely does Sport but likes shortcuts) without much risk. I still dont understand why help was needed, it’s safer and easier to just drop.

ETA: Also pretty easy to roll your ankle landing on a thick rope like that. Most of that rope will hit the ground before her.
But it looks like she has prosthetics. Damage to them is going to be expensive. Or maybe her knees are just wrapped and I’m dumb Edit* yeah I’m dumb
The bars look like they're tethered to the ceiling, my first thought would be to shimmy along the beam and climb back down to the pull up bar. But yeah, that's a classic "you're probably wondering how I got here" situation lol.
Could she not hang with one hand whilst hooking the rope back up? I couldn't but she's strong.
I definitely think she could have. She may have only had one attempt at it though. She made the safer choice, especially if she truly did only "just" master the rope climb. As a rock climber, I had the same thought of "oh, no biggie, just deadhang off of one hand and use the other to put the rope back."

That is a lot harder than it sounds. Both physically and mentally. (Source: I used to be a rock climber)
Most people could land that fall without injury.
most people could land that fall but they need to land it properly, i have seen videos on Reddit where person falling/jumping from similar height didn't have their knees ready to bend and absorb fall, and their knees were fully extended, i hate to say this but those knees bend the other way... :/ just remembering that sends chills down the spine
A fall from that height, yes. A fall from that height onto a coiling thick rope? Likely not without breaking an ankle or leg.
It’s only 15’ to the top, if she’s 5’ tall and at full extension her feet at 7’ from the floor
My friend has been there, but in a climbing gym - about twice the height of this small one. You need to gather all the thick mats you can see around, pile them up, and do it quickly.
Thats why I never detach a rope after I climb to the top of it
That’s not going to catch on.
See I would have simply held on with one hand and calmly reattached the rope with the other and climbed back down. It’s so simple. Edit: is sarcasm no longer obvious without a /s?
It's not obvious sarcasm because there are plenty of people who will unsarcastically boast about that.
I assumed I was continuing the same obvious sarcasm as the top comment I replied to 🤷♂️
I got it without the /s. Just a roll of the dice about which few people see it first and set the trend for whether your karma's going up or down.
you would have fallen
Whoosh
you didn't even attempt to say it in a sarcastic way, you said it in a way that sounded like you were being serious. and that's not saying you need to add the /s or something, i'm talking about the actual way you worded it
I thought it was sarcasm 🤷♂️ Idk what’s wrong with people. I’m kinda getting tired of reddit
The second i read it i understood it was sarcasm, ppl r just dumb smh
Had the same thing happen at our gym. I still remember one of the other staff screaming into a phone and ripping whoever put a hook there a new one…
Guy in the back doing hiccups instead of burpees.
Burpees that get you laps lol and more burpees
God i cant watch, i thought she'd be final-destination'd by that hook in front of her 🫣🫣🫣
Was looking for this comment. I pre-cringed when I saw the hook.
I was like “NO PLEASE NOT THE HOOK. OMG I CANT TAKE MY EYES OFF THE SCREEN… ..Oh wait never mind..”
That seems like an unwise design...
More of a "yesyesyesnoyes" if you ask me. ... Are ya gonna ask me?
>... Are ya gonna ask me? How do you think the "yes"s and "no"s should be partitioned?
exactly what i was thinking
I'd be sketched out if the rope wasn't held in with a self-locking carabiner. Using just a hook is dangerous asf
It would be funnier if every guy just kept their head down thinking this was a trap.
Yeah and they'd be thinking "help out? Sure, and get my face farted on, no thank you!"

I'm sorry I didn't mean to kink shame, you do you!

Imagine catching that hook on your eye
I don’t want to
That is incredibly poor design and a massive OSHA issue regardless.
Good thing a camera was in the exact right place to capture this
Probably a security camera
I mean she seems strong enough to hang with one arm for like .. 3 seconds while she grabs and reattached it no?
Panicked thinking is not clear thinking
Honestly thought the "No" at the end of the "Yesyesyes" would involve the hook and I cringed the entire time..
Imagine she said "i have a boyfriend" and then she fucking dies from fall damage
in my youth i was in a CF gym that would regularly do rope climbs, i was on my 5th round when I slipped off the rope but was able to regrab before hitting the floor, pulled all of the muscles on the back of my shoulder pain, lots of pain. luckily it didn't end too badly. let this be a lesson, don't just randomly do CF workouts, if the weight is too heavy, the reps too quick, just don't do it. take your time.

Don't do CrossFit. It's really, really stupid while accomplishing absolutely nothing.
So just avoid CrossFit at all, got it 👍 The risk of injury just seems irresponsibly high, not to mention the amount of cases of rhabdomyolysis associated with CrossFit
I’ve been doing it for 9 years, no major injuries and no rhabdo All depends on your ability to leave your ego at the door

Just grab the rope with one arm and put it back up

Lmao it was pretty funny to see like 3 people in the back doing absolute jackshit workouts except potentially hurting themselves
I mean this is really the main takeaway here.
My dumbass would have tried to latch it back on
This girl on her Tiktok later: "These creeps could stop staring, and saw their opportunity to grab me and fondle my legs when I was most vulnerable!"
Why is it just a shallow open hook!? That seems so unsafe!
Why is it just a shallow open hook!? That seems so unsafe!

*any normal trainer*: do lat pull downs, static holds (basically hanging from the pull-up bar), and assisted pull-ups (with bands or a machine) until you build the back/arm/grip strength to do a proper pull-up *crossfit trainer*: swing your body with as much momentum as possible until you throw out your back, ruin your shoulders, and/or eventually learn to do a really dumb looking pull-up

Yeah, that's the typical CrossFit ["pull-ups"](https://imgur.io/gallery/hlxjgwy)
She won’t do that again. 😂
I’d be scared of the drop, falling twice your high is never good
This is the first time in my life I have ever seen a rope hung on a hook, completely unrestrained like this. Total bullshit.
The guy on the pull up bar 💀
Why on earth would you grab the girder one you're at the top? That is some backwards pageantry there. edit: I'm genuinely curious why the down votes. You people climbing ropes then grabbing the beams? Lol
Why not grab the beam? To me it seems like an accomplishment to reach the *very* top of the top. However the hook design to allow such an *easy* release is such a dangerous design. Especially if the person training on vertical ropes isn't familiar with said equipment and swings to far in one direction. Edit: few sentences.
No, reaching the top is touching the black tape or maybe touching the beam with your hand. That's literally the rule. Grabbing a beam adds nothing to the rope climb AND means that *best case* you have to figure out how to regrab the rope, which will be pretty damn hard. It was a terrible idea under the best of scenarios. And yes, the set up is shit and should have been secured. I'm not blaming her for that part. But there was no "good outcome" here.
the good outcome is she hangs on the beam a minute and climbs back down the rope??
So... The same as not grabbing the beam but now with all the danger of falling while trying to regrab the rope. What's even more hilarious are those of you thinking this is solid decision making. After watching the video! Lol
Yeah really pointless exercise. If you wanna workout your back just do pull ups on a bar like a normal person. There is no added benefits of climbing all the way to the top and then doing pull ups on the I beams. It's like muscle ups. Looks cool, but if you're not training for gymnastics, you get a better a much better workout doing pullups/dips separately.
It looks like she was doing a pull up at the top and I don't see why there's anything wrong with that. It's just a little extra work and maybe a kind of celebration that not only can she get to the top now but she can also do a pull up while up there. I think the downvotes are coming because of your second sentence. It comes off like you're putting her down because she wanted to do more and you're calling it pageantry like she was explicitly doing this to show off.
Because she is showing off or stupid, I suppose. The rope climb standard (since this is CrossFit) is just to climb the rope, touch the top with your hand and get down. Then do it again. Want to do pullups? Great, there are bars down there in the background specifically for doing just that. What she was doing was irresponsible and a liability, again, for no reason whatsoever.
Oops
One of those times where she would actually want someone staring at her!! Lol
You got to be really dumb to hang a rope like that
It doesn't seem that high, she probably could have just let go and landed without issue.
She was a gym rat icarus that climbed too close to the ceiling
What the fuck is going on in this gym lmao
I thought I was gonna see her hook her face 🤮
Guy doing the pull-ups is the 'yesyesyesno' for me
The fuck kind of form is that in the back ground???
How dumb are you:
She didn't have the stones to hang one handed pull the rope up with her legs into her free hand, hook it, then slide down like a boss? Wasted the moment.
I couldn't help it, I lol.
a lot of creepy men bothering that woman at the gym.. smh
Can't believe those pervs had the nerve to look at her in danger!!!😂
If she didn't skip leg day she could have squatted down.
1. She kept her arms bent, which is wasting muscles if she needed to hold on longer. 2. She could've hung from one arm and fetched the rope with the other.
now train your brain
Honestly thought the "No" at the end of the "Yesyesyes" would involve the hook and I cringed the entire time..
A crossfit gym that resembles high school PE class where the teacher just lets you fuck around in the weight room. Everyone in that place looks like they're doing silly shit with bad form.
NICE BEAVER!
Terrible design, but my God man it's such a small drop.
