    Hi Craig, the Army use the saying in a slightly different way - 'What does practice make? Permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect!!!'. Another one is - 'Amateurs practice until they get it right and professionals practice until they can't get it wrong!'. It's all about building the muscle
    memory... Been watching the videos for about 6 months now; love them!!! 🏋🏻🏃🏻💪🏻

    I don't even train CrossFit -- I'm powerlifting -- but I've watch ur videos for mounts. Tried CrossFit once and almost died, maybe I will try it again someday. Just wanted you to know that you are inspiring people outside CrossFit as well. Keep up the good work, you're awesome!
    English is not my native language so sorry for any grammar errors; I'm from Sweden.

    I just got my DU about a month ago. You have to relax a little. This move use to keep me from RX-ing my wods. So glad I finally got them.

    I would add 1 final tip. make sure to keep your head up and "stare" at a fixed point, like it is about 30 yards away. by doing this you should just be able to see your hands in your peripheral vision. this was absolutely key for me, took me just about 2 years to finally become proficient. good luck and don't ever give up.

    Thing that helped me a lot was where I was focusing my gaze. Finding a spot on the ground about 10 ft in front of me and trying to jump in the same spot with feet together. Love your tutorials! I'd watch them with anything. How to eat a grapefruit, how to shop for Sparky's biscuits, etc.

    out of all the tutorials i've seen, this is the only one that really stressed the importance of having the right mindset in learning the double unders, and set honest expectations. super frustrating, kept at it for 2 hours straight, finally hit it, found the rhythm, got to 10 counts. thanks!

    @EmoryEmrich_GooglePlus 6 років тому

    Craig you helped me make a DU breakthrough with this video. I have struggled with them for 6 months and today after watching this I discovered my rope was too long. I did a long chipper with 10 rounds which included 24 DUs in each. I started doing it @ single single double cadence *with a shorter rope*. On the last 3 rounds I decided to go for it and did all 3 rounds unbroken. Most I’ve done unbroken ever. Thank you my friend! WE DON’T QUIT!

    As a competitive jump roper, this is super cool. We seem to do things very differently, but still great tips!! And also there is a product called speed balls that are super useful, they are handles with a foot or two of rope on them and a wiffle ball on the end. They keep your hands separate and work really well, check them out!

    @jamieanderson2999 7 років тому +1

    Top video. These instructional ones were why I first started watching and following your channel. As others have said, you are good at breaking things down and explaining it clearly. Do more like this and less of the editing showcasing. Thanks to you, Jas, your old man and all the crew at the box for smashing out the content consistently- it's cool 🖒💪

    Great form, Craig! I think one of the keys is to have enough strength in your calves in relation to your body weight to be able to jump that high (for a longer period). Beginners usually lack it.

    Great advice, most comprehensive video I have seen so far. I have taken this lock down to try CrossFit and I can do the 100kg snatch and other technical lifts but the double unders have me cursing. I won't give up but I have broken two wires so far and I'm not an angry person.

  • @scottleopold7636
    @scottleopold7636 7 років тому +42

    the best drill is the "double hip tap". without a rope, jump up and down like jump roping and each time your jump up tap your hip twice. practice this until you can do it 50+ times in a row without getting out of sync. it should be second nature. then pick up a jump rope and do the same thing, but in stead of tapping your hips, just spin the rope

    • @laurabenigno5720
      @laurabenigno5720 4 роки тому +6

      The hip tap helped me too back when I was trying to get it right.

    this video is great and I'm definitely trying these tips. my problem is trying to get the same rhythm and sound he had in the video and also turning the rope with one hand, it must be that I'm not flicking the wrists enough. would love some pointers Craig on flicking the wrist or something to get that down bc that's my problem I believe

    @agnezjonsson 5 років тому

    I HAD A RARE PROBLEM: 6 months into CrossFit - always been so frustrated with DU, like everyone else. Finally got out of the “1single-1double under” drill and can string them together. BUT my biggest issue I’ve never seen anyone talk about on UA-cam. I did have good solid core position, jumped perfect from the ball of my foot and had tight elbows and a good wrist movement BUT wasn’t aggressive enough with the flick of my wrist when stinging them together. I realised this when I did an intense WOD and hade som epic music on and did DU to that. I guess I got so excited and pumped that the flick finally became aggressive enough. Woala I got them going!!
    Also noticed that I used to hold my rope handle to far in, by moving my hand a bit out on the handle I got a better flick. Now I’m just building on my “perfect” foundation and stringing together more and more. Hope someone reads this and can relate and maybe become a better DU-jumper.

    i practiced double unders every morning every day for a year... from consistent single ... single double single... to finally 140 doubles. I do them specially after the WODs when i'm tired, as they are usually given in combinations with other movements.
    also from medium weight ropes to lightweight ropes.

    One thing that really helped me to get more DU in sequence is to slowly accumulate DU in the middle of singles.
    Like this:
    3 SU - 1 DU - 3 SU - 1 DU ...
    2 SU - 1 DU - 2 SU - 1 DU ...
    1 SU - 1 DU - 1 SU - 1 DU ...
    And when you finally get 2 DU in a row start trying do to more and more in sequence!
    Once you get it, it's really fun! I prefer jumping rope than running!
