How to Size Your Jump Rope for Double Unders by WOD Nation’s coach Barry @ CrossFit Chiang Mai

[@KleWdSide]

Great rope. Takes a little time getting used to because it's so damn light & fast!

[@azc56]

Yeah I’m used to a cheap rope and just bought a good quality speed rope. It’s too quick for me! My old rope was really thick.

[@monikaranee]

I came to the gym today thinking I would be able to use mine right out of the bag although I saw other reviews. Unfortunately, not the case. Hopefully this video will help so I can use it soon. Was looking forward to doing some double unders today😲

[@whitel1on]

"I'm going to want the jump rope to be about here" doesn't give any guidance as to where on the body to position the handles for sizing.

[@Lovetheonewithin]

Neal Bateman my exact thought. I'm assuming mid-chest

[@gimlee44222]

@CJ Jacobs is it his nipple? His chest? Always with the handles facing out? Should've been more exact

[@frankeinstein1]

The positioning should be handlers un to the arm pits..this guy is basically instructing himself and not the others he seeks to instruct....

[@ozdaawg]

Hahaha use your eyes, looked to be at the base of his breast, inch or so below nipple, if a newby about nipple or above.

[@dayrezzed]

Mine doesn’t have a slider :(

[@GeezaVicencio6]

Same :( have you gotten around for any alternatives?

[@12carla4]

@Ruminating15 I have the same problem and I will try this!!

[@vietnamexperience4621]

Mine too. Had to use tape 🙁

[@ritaroy7754]

Mine neither :|

[@CathyGehrHDTV]

Great to know how to size a jump rope properly.

[@thaik56]

So basically right about nipple level, oh and I've got the exact same jump rope!

[@Keenbeaver]

When you mess up the rope whips you like a slave. I kind of like that though

[@hermes7330]

Ong bro. Got me moaning each whip.

[@marygrace5468]

Kinky lol

[@sarahjenkins853]

Very informative. Thank you

[@ghasemtabatabaei2049]

That "handle" is a great idea.

[@yrath5034]

Trying to place the accent. I'd say mid or mid-west Wales, spent some time in Cardiff and then possibly Northern Ireland (maybe ex British Forces?) perhaps moving to the US for a while then on to Thailand. I'm an ex-pat also, so I'm pretty good with accents.

[@8andre3]

That was Sherlock Holmes level dude

[@Turnaround_]

Trying to figure that out too

[@lindanolan6506]

I bought the Wod Nation jump rope and the screws aren't able to be unscrewed whatsoever! ...at least not with my hands :(

[@EddieB_FNVGIS]

Looks like a quality product!

[@thecrowrains]

September 15, 2017 I just got my WOD Speed Rope in the mail; I look forward to training with it! Brief question: W.O.D. is, I assume, an acronym?

[@Wodnationgear]

hope you love it. let us know!!

[@thecrowrains]

I have used it twice since receiving it this past weekend and absolutely love it! As for sizing it prior to use, I am shorter than the fellow in vid above, so I had to wire-cut more off, but found that by simply loosening the dials on each handle helped to save cutting off too much cable-rope. *per his suggestion to go a little longer with cable-rope as a beginner. The 1-foot test standing on the middle has it right about at armpit level. Awesome product!

[@xaviervently781]

So I need a wire cutter to be able to start jump roping...

[@Wodnationgear]

Yes. Its adjustable so you will need to cut off any extra that you don't need.

[@Ynrpiana24s]

Honestly so trash how you gonna expect everyone to have a wire cutter 🤦🏾‍♂️, just bought the ting and I’m pissed

[@ozdaawg]

Everyone worth their salt should own a pair of wire cutters or combination pliers. If not, your neighbour, friend, uncle........

[@audiobookster]

Great tips - thank you.

[@MohammadAbdan-mp2ph]

Nice❤

[@AmazingOnlineRetail]

Thanks for the tip!!

[@MoooseBlood]

That’s what she said.

[@UliSwag]

this rope sucks on concrete. mine broke the plastic covering and is now exposing the metal wire

[@PARIS8500]

$48 horse stall mats are great to protect your knees but also your cable. Nylon will also eventually fray on concrete.

[@frankeinstein1]

I would invest in a perfectly sized jump rope mat from Cross Rope....Trust me on this because I like you learned the hard way...Should set you back about $60 Bucks... www.crossrope.com/products/crossrope-jump-rope-mat

[@UliSwag]

@@frankeinstein1 that's what did. I own cross rope now and dont regret it so far

[@viddesigns3791]

Very informative video!

[@apollon1]

I already got s good rope but no sliders. Do you sell them or any recommendations where to get them?

[@VSlimGoel]

dude same here. this is what i did. take the cap from the ends of the rope and cut the cap and then it becomes a slider. so now u will have a rope but no cap for the safety. works well and if u really care about the safety of the sharpness then tape the edges. or simply make an alternative of the slider using tape.

[@themafiaguru]

apollon1 just use zip ties

[@massykereke7216]

Same here

[@ozdaawg]

Vinyl tubing, aquarium hose line, shrink wrap, electrical tape....you can do it!

[@edit_video_creator3233]

@@themafiaguruommg this is actually soo smart! 😂 I‘m gonna try this

[@lexeleister4618]

I was using my jump rope and then it broke, now i'm using this speed rope but i feels hard to jump on it idk why

How to fix it when folded

[@aimeeobrien21]

awesome, thanks!

[@enikoeszterszabo8298]

Thanks✌🙏

[@brian-hw9tn]

When he says to leave the left side of the rope the same I was confused since they do not match could anyone help me?

[@brian-hw9tn]

@Name Last Name appreciate it man imma lil dumb here 😂

[@jojo-sl4ft]

if you make so much money you wouldn't need to do a commercial

[@ReeRi]

Cheers!

[@blackjaguar324]

Can you also make knots on the rope to make it shorter or is it better to cut it?

[@Wodnationgear]

we dont recommend tying knots in the cable. the cable we use doesnt know easily (or kink for that matter) and a knot on the end of the cable will throw off the weight of the cable. we include 2 cables with our rope so if you need one longer and one shorter for whatever reason, you're all set.

[@blackjaguar324]

WOD Nation Okay, thank you.

[@walidchakib7850]

WOD Nation vvvv

[@PARIS8500]

Impossible to tie this cable into a knot. Also impossible to SNIP this cable as easily as shown here. Luckily the new wod nation rope system has an improved mechanism of adjustment.

[@draymanonj]

Don't have a wire cutter and have been destroying my new fucking rope for the past 20 minutes. Not happy. But the rope is amazing. Wish I was taller I guess.

[@kieranholderness3385]

I am 5"10 will a 10ft skipping rope be ideal for me.

[@Wodnationgear]

Should be perfect.

Do you ship outside the US?

Are all colours the same quality?

yes. all colours are the same quality

[@user-vd3rw8mn3g]

Can i use scissors

[@Wodnationgear]

you cannot use scissors to cut the cable

[@user-hm8wz4vp8l]

Love how crossfitters think so good coz do double unders. Boxers do those in their sleep
