Found a corner of my garage with a high enough ceiling and enough clear space to jump-rope. Did 2 rounds of 3:30 for warm-up. I noticed that the combination of no hand wraps and running shoes instead of boxing shoes made skipping rope much more effortless compared to the gym. I'm probably getting easier wrist flexion without wraps, but I'm also wondering if balance is an issue with my shoes. They have very narrow soles, which is probably the point, but I 

Good and bad news on the injury update front. Yesterday I was able to do 8 ABCs with 50 lb kettlebells with no back issues. However, when coming up for the 7th, I felt a twinge in my upper-left thigh near the groin, an area that's been tender from all the sprints I did last week. It was mild enough to where I did an 8th rep to assess and decided that while I could keep going, it'd be better to stop there. The 8 reps came with no break and I was on my way to break 10 reps non-stop.

Did a 5-minute round on the heavy bag afterwards and twisting caused the area to hurt. Although limiting, I actually found value in practicing what I could do under this condition as it forced me to stay loose and expend less energy..

Area feels better the next day and I can walk fine, including up stairs.
