I just found you on YT and you're such a good coach. I've searched many videos about DU but you're the best teaching it. And thanks for letting me know that DU is not a linear progression cuz I am realizing it to be true. I will apply all your tips. Thank you so much.
Another great video! I'm the type who stiffens my arms and my shoulders get totally fatigued. I tried a band a few weeks ago and instantly got a huge set of DUs, but after two more sets, couldn't do more than 2 at a time anymore. Tried the band again recently and no help. It's been 6 years and still can't do more than 32 DUs... maybe some day! I just can't relax my arms, no matter what I try to tell myself to do it.
I am soooo glad you made this because I could do 10-30 unbroken most times and then came a day where I couldn’t string 2 together anymore. So I stopped doing double unders in workouts. I am the type of guy to really work on the things I’m not great at and that I don’t like too, but the double unders really really discouraged me. So thank you. Knowing that it’s common for people to string big sets together and then the next day not be able to do 2-5 is reassuring
This is awesome! Trying this!! One of my goals is 100 unbroken, I can get close to 70 but then I get tense like you said. A lot of videos are tips for starters but as an intermediate teetering in Rx everything I needed a video with a bit more, thank you!
Hi Ben, great tips. I definitely agree with you on training in different conditions to master your jump rope technique. Also, training single unders in various conditions is essential. If you haven't mastered your single unders yet, you're likely to struggle a lot with the double unders."
Yes, totally normal with such a frustrating movement! Keep chipping away! 🙌 I've seen so many athletes who feel like they'll NEVER get there go on to crush them.
Funny thing for me is that I have an easier time doing DUs when I'm tired. I think it's b/c I get too tense. The breathe thing is probably something I should work on. I'm also going to start switching between ropes. I always use a beaded rope, but I'll start alternating with my other rope.

Who’s here for 24.2 ?😂
Me!!!!! Rower I can crush, deadlift no problem, but ffffffuuuuuu*****k I can't do more than a few double unders in a row!
Absolutely. This is the equivalent of studying an hour before the exam 😂
Yep this wasn't that good of a tutorial

I just got 6 in a row. I’m definitely gonna apply that cadence tip. I was already in agreement on all the other things.

Oh man, this is going to be so helpful🙌🏼 I’m so glad others have good and bad jump days 😅

Yup. Last week missed 4x in a row. This week 50 unbroken in a workout.
Practice with music. My dubs are great in warmup and then as soon as loud music plays and i cant hear the rope, i mess up
Great tip!

That is common actually - my guess is because you're more relaxed when tired!
Thanks
@2:10 definitely relatable lol
Look at a picture of Jordan Peterson while he is talking and he sounds just like him!
