Right!? What a weird choice. I've seen some strange exercise choices in open gym before but that seems like an wildly unnecessary risk and has no functional benefit other than increasing general risk of danger lmao
There is a functional benefit. She probably already did the 24 inch jump and wanted to try going a little higher but the 30 inch side is a bit too much. The plate is about 2-3 inches so she gets a more doable height this way
This goes back to CrossFit being an issue. 24 is easy in warmups and doing 4-8 probably isn't a problem by itself, but is after 3 sets of amrap and a lactic buildup for 15 minutes.
A ton of people do stupid stuff in the gym every day, CrossFit is the only place where the stupid stuff is celebrated.
