Comments: Due to the whole foot thing, I was too scared to jump rope or box jump. So I substituted a 250m row for the jump rope, and did 20" step-ups with 10# dumbbells in each hand. Tim told me on a step-up, you're not to actually 'step' with your second foot, but raise your knee as if you're actually climbing stairs, then bring it back down to the ground. This gave my left quad and incredible workout (when I did it right, about 1/2 the time). I didn't want to have to switch legs and land back on the bad foot see? So when I switched legs I did put my second foot down on the box. Still a sweaty mess after, still breathing heavy and red-faced, I thought this was a nice way to scale down. I was kinda pumped about my press numbers at the end. Stayed and did some foam rollers on my legs. Not feeling so hot after jumping back in with The Bear... But a good pain.
