HOW TO DO DOUBLE UNDERS! HOW TO GET CONSISTENT AND HUGE SETS!

[@matt3247]

Starting with DU and finishing with singles in a WOD is SOOO key. I avoided DU's in any WOD because I didn't feel like I'd get a good workout in since I'd be fighting the rope the whole time. Now I'm able to get 10-15 DU's pretty clean and then transition to singles if needed. I give myself one chance to get DU's going again once it's broken in a WOD and then do singles to keep it moving. It has helped so much not shying away from them.

[@raquelosmer2177]

This is the BEST “double unders” video I have seen. This video actually makes me want to practice so I can learn them. 💕

[@texas4648]

Agree

[@ssj2majinbuu]

Those muscle memory drills are some of the best double under advice I have ever heard! You have successfully converted me from a casual viewer into a subscriber

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

So glad you enjoy them!!

[@joonanax13]

Me too! Love the penguin tap

[@TRex-fu7bt]

I watch these double under tutorials whenever they pop up and this is the first one that reminds us to stay relaxed when jumping, suggests bar tap drills, and uses the whistling rope as a cue for speed. It’s really cool to hear some new ideas!

[@seankenney7756]

Watching this after I did 22.3; my double unders were awful, I know I could do much better if I can nail this down. Thank you for the great tips!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

glad it was helpful! keep practicing!!

[@jasontodd7236]

Great advice. I like the bar tap/penguin tap drills and being able to see hands with peripheral.

[@jeremy31410]

I am finally getting better with my double unders, thanks to this video. It's taken me several weeks, but something just flips it starts happening. Thank you!!

[@texas4648]

I like how you acknowledged it can be frustrating and to just try again another day.

[@fabrej0]

What I find very important in DUs is the ability to relax as it is mentioned at the end. It is certainly valuable to slow down the rythm to feel how you can relax yourself just after the wrist movement.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Relaxing is SOOOOO important!!

[@sbragdon212]

I’ve tried this for months and your bar tap movement finally gave me the “aha” moment!!! Thank you!!

[@chezkaquinte07]

Tbh ive been on iff jumping ropes due to online classes but now that i got my first ever legit rope, im so determined to achieve my double unders!! Thanks for this

[@kouniabela6186]

Well done. I have seen so many but yours is really top. Very analytical and clear step by step procedure. Nice work 👍

[@abrahamortiz2759]

The bar tap drill is a super drill!!! I’m in my 3rd month of doing CrossFit and double unders are soo WTF! But I feel this drill has really helped me100%. Thanks again for great content.

[@laplandsky5746]

great instruction on du's. Will definitely practice these drills. Thanks Kristi!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Awesome!! Go get it!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

[@azharel]

The double tap bar drill is a genius! I already have double unders but not very consistent to get more than 70 unbroken. This will helps on my drill workout. Thanks so much!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

So glad you enjoyed it!

This is easily the best Double Unders tips video I have seen! Can’t wait to try these out in my next practise session. Thanks Kristi!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Woohoo! Happy to hear that!! I hope the help!!

[@anne1886]

YES! Did my first double unders after this video! The biggest tip for my was to go faster earlier. As soon as I heard the rope tick on the floor I spin faster, and it worked! Next goal is to do multiple in a row 😅

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

awesome!!!! way to go!!

[@fffestar]

Meant to say thanks for the video a month ago, but did your drills and can pull 50s and now PB is 80. Aim is 100 ...Thanks again.

[@milancollin1819]

Funny I gave up on them. I can do a 1000singles in a row but if I try the double I am getting stuck in my head. I knew the tapping on the leg but I never did the bar tap. Will try it and see if it helps. Probably I am giving up to soon and should trying it over and over again. It is frustrating though :).

[@EdgarGarcia-bc4gd]

I subscribed. Ive been watching your videos recently and they are very helpful. I noticed that i am progessing in certain areas. Thank you for listing progressions because they are helping

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Happy to help! ✌️✌️

[@g1org1o_s]

I have couple of bad habits that I have developed over the years and find hard to fix. 1. As I get tired I flick the wrist inwards causing the rope to fold and catching the back of my heel. 2. Cannot relax shoulders and forearms and both start hurting if i am doing more than 100 in a workout. Thus I have to break in small sets every time. Thanks!! Great vid as usual;)

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

You might have to take a step back and relearn a bit. But if you do you'll fly though the 100 mark!

[@monkeymad1067]

Just found this. Thanks, Kristi. DU's have been my nemesis. This reminds me of that one subject in high school, looking at the homework and just wanting to cry😭 It's the only Crossfit move that I cannot do. Totally my fault, I should have been working on these as much as BMU or RMU but I hid it away and now it's staring me right in the face. TMI, sorry. Anyways, I'll give your cues ago. Hoping that something clicks. Cussing at my rope doesn't seem to help🤦🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@h2t26]

This is the third video I have seen on this, they were good but this was better. Some really great tips and some helpful drills and advice. The timing is throwing me off, and I should probably try them near the start not end of my work out when I can have a bigger jump. I have a longer rope, since I need the room to do some of the tricks I do, is that okay or do you suggest a second rope?

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Hi Kristi. As I think you're a great teacher, I'd like to suggest a topic for a video that I'd love to hear you talk about sometime. I'm new to crossfit (3 months) and loving it. Thus far, I've only gone to the classes at my local box (Diablo Crossfit) about 3-4 times per week. That's fine, but I'm starting to get interested in programming beyond just the classes. In other words, to get as fit as one can be in order to excel at WODS, what's the best way to go about creating an overall training strategy? The answer is definitely not just "do lots of WODs", but rather do those but also a lot of additional targeted strength/flexibility/mobility work in a strategic and organized manner. Related is the observation that I doubt all the top crossfit athletes, yourself included, are as strong/jacked as they are just through doing random WODS. How can one best approach training outside of WODs, using their boxs' "open gym" hours, and get started? Anyway, just a small content suggestion and thanks again for the superb videos. You have a gift for explaining things. Cheers!
