Also, practice your tuck jumps. I know some people who got really good at doing a bunch of tuck jumps and it helped their double unders

Do you have a program as such for tuck jumps & hop overs?0 -
Ok I won't, I can do a rhythm of double and two singles but that is pretty taxing during a WOD.
My issue is more the whipping rather than my jumping, i just can't seem to turn the rope over continuously for double unders, its difficult for me to get the coordination. I panic with my jumps, its not comfortable yet
When I was learning to do DUs I found it really helpful to practice the jumping part without the rope. So I'd do 2-3 small (single) jumps and then one higher one for a double under. Repeat that a bunch of times to get into a good rhythm of 2 single jumps and 1 double repeatedly, then try adding in the rope. Make sure it's a speed rope!!
I had trouble doing the higher jump and faster rope spin at the same time - it was like I could do one or the other, but not both. After practicing just the jumping, it was easier to add in the rope. Then I spent time practicing the same rhythm (2 single, 1 double) with the rope, and then went to 1 single, 1 double, and then eventually just doubles. Once I started practicing just the jumping part and then working up, it was literally only a couple of days before I was doing doubles. But I'm stubborn like that and won't give up til I get it right.
Also, make sure you don't kick your feet back for the double jump. Keep your legs straight, just jump higher. Hope that helps!!0 -
^^^ thankyou very much, i guess i got to relax a bit, i can skip for ages, but i'll stick with the two single and one double. With me when i do doubles, my body goes into a bit of a 'K' shape, i'll try just jumping and keeping the jump bit straight,
Thankyou very much, if i can nail the bad boys i'll thank you and mua

I dont have a program for it, but the fact that you *can* get double unders, just not fast, means that you need to do them during your wods instead of scaling. It's the only way to get better, and if it slows your time down, oh well, it's motivation to get better at the DU and speed your time up the next time you try the same wod. that's the point of crossfit...everything is measurable, meaning we track our progress. dont scale just for the sake of having a faster time0 -

My forearms are still toast from Tuesday's ring row/wall ball 30-20-10 fest.

fun partner wod today ...did it with my mom! she's a beast (competed at the games twice now!)
1. deadlift 175 hold while the other person rows 1000m. Switch who's doing what until the 1000m is rowed. (the deadlift hold was HARD!)
2. handstand walk 20m while the other person assists to keep your legs up.
3. one person planks while the other person carrys 75# plates 100m. switch who's doing what as often as needed.
4. add your body weight between the two of you (240 for us), times that number by ten (2400) and squat that...partition as needed. We ended up just squatting 100# 24x because it was the easiest math wise. one person squats at a time. 2400# is the total, not per person (hope that makes sense)
5. 50 strict pullups, one person does it at a time.

Last night:
For time -
200 walking lunges with plate held at chest (45lbs/25lbs)
EMOM 5 burpees to plate
*start with burpees
*20 min cap
I scaled the weight to 15lbs and then eventually to 10lbs and we were permitted to scale the burpee to E2MOM so I did that, as well. I completed 175 lunges before getting capped. I'm guessing it is from all of the time I spent in the boot, but my right hip flexor was not happy with me after about 75 or so lunges and I really had to power through the fatigue. This one brought me to tears.0 -
AMRAP 12
5 STO (75% of 1rm press, i used 60lbs for the wod)
10 situps
15 wall balls (14/20)
