Awesome tip dude Thanks a lot Subscribed 👍👍

[@camiellehonrade5950]

Hi before I saw this video I could probably link 6-8 double unders before failing. I took this advice and practice the penguin technique, maybe just once a week doing 4x100 jumps without a rope and practicing the double hand slaps to the legs in one jump suggestion. Today we had double unders in our wod. I could do 30 double unders before failing! I was also surprised how much more my skips were less taxing because I knew my jump timing, I could even control my speed, something I never could do before. I also noticed the rope spun faster cause my hands moved quicker, again I think thanks to the double tap practice. I am so happy I've improved on a skill I've been struggling with for 2 years. THANK YOU BEN!! Keep posting and sharing your tips!

[@WODprep]

Camielle!!! This is so awesome! I am grinning ear to ear. Great work, and thank you for making my week!

[@fr0z3nshade]

So this drill has made all the difference for me! I could barely string together 3 DU in a row. After trying this drill for a couple of minutes, my mind finally "clicked" on how my hands were supposed to swing the rope. I can now bang out 50 in a row now without a problem, and that's just from practicing about 5 minutes every other day for just under a month! A month from now I'm hoping to bang out 100 in a row. THANK YOU!!!

[@WODprep]

YES! Amazing work. Thank you so much for letting me know.

[@samanthanelson966]

Was so frustrated I didn’t have double unders. Did this drill consistently a couple times this past week and hit my first 10 in a row. Can’t wait to get even more! THANK YOU!

[@josemendez5659]

This has been the most practical instruction for beginners I have viewed, and I have been watching many. I look forward to to giving it a try.

[@justinzhang6883]

smart way! Will try it tomorrow. Thanks for your wit

[@skuyyt6617]

[@elizam.channel2975]

Great video, tomorrow will try. Thanks for sharing with us :)

[@shabblabbat]

wow, glad i saw this, brilliant drill. Thank you.

[@SwayzeHomestead]

I'm going to try this with my wife this weekend. She's been struggling for a year and we've tried everything. This seems like a great psychological way to ingrain the motion. Plus my wife gets very frustrated with how much dub practice can hurt. No pain, lots of gain. Hopefully. Subscribed the channel and the newsletter because of this video. Thank you.

[@WODprep]

Awesome! Please let me know how it goes. Remember to focus on jump mechanics and remember to be like a "pogo" sick. Let me know if I can help any more! :)

[@regularnimnule9715]

Brilliant drill!! This just works!

[@user-jc2yo2cf8i]

an excellent exercise. I learned not to break double jumps. Gratitude from Ukraine.

[@Andrew112081]

Hey Ben, do you think I should do penguin for couple of weeks and try the rope, or should I alternate? Thanks for the vids by the way.

[@axumgear5629]

hi cool vid

[@sito1002]

I want to get home to try this

[@mandykiwi]

I am definitely going to try this, I've been trying to get double unders with little luck for almost a year! Hopefully it works wonders!

[@mandykiwi]

So because of this ... I can do up to 45 in a row now!! In only a month!!

[@WODprep]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!

[@amit77]

mandykiwi whattttt awesome

[@Tommygimbal]

Doing this drill now!! I for once done 7 double unders and then never again lol. Max 2 jumps then it stop.

[@jasonjohnson8487]

Wow I'm gonna try this in my next WOD with Double unders in. Will let you all know how it goes 👍

[@WODprep]

awesome - good luck!

[@giannicremasco6649]

how long do you have to practice this drill and for how many minutes a day?

[@louisecallen]

I'm going to have to try this. Can only single right now....getting better at those and luckily I don't donkey kick!

[@WODprep]

Penguins will definitely help!!

[@Brockthedog315]

Thanks. I'm gonna try the penguin for a couple of weeks and then give the ropes a try. Like that some of the frustration will be removed by not worrying about the ropes.

[@WODprep]

Bingo - I hope it worked out for you!

[@user-zn4pd1xd1n]

Video on supplements for crossfit maybe? :)

[@WODprep]

Hmmmmm maybe I can try that. The short answer is "not very many"! :)

[@ThePipotazo]

What BPM would you say is the best for the Penguin Drill?

[@ShivKamalUpadhaya]
