Some of you may have heard me talking about jumping in your double-unders like you are "Tigger". Jeremy B. (feet pictured) is GREAT at this. Just look at the height he gets in his double under jump - and he's hardly bending his knees (you'll have to trust me on this.) The power in his jump comes from an explosion out of his ankles and calves while keeping his body almost rigid. If you've ever done any diving off of a diving board, it is the same jump that you do at the end of the board to get a big spring. Try it next time you do double-unders... and if you have anything that you do to make double-unders more doable for you - please share it in comments.

OOOHHH Clean and Jerk today...yes!

It helps me to listen and try to make the rope strike with a small click on the floor. Move your hands away from your body to take up slack. Otherwise, I would find the rope striking way in front of me, bouncing on the floor, then tangling my feet.

I agree with Kevin. Its easy if you listen to the sound of the rope. I try to get into a rhythm and just focus on keeping it going for as long as possible.

Just want to let you guys know that your website and program looks awesome and that workout you posted a couple days ago - amrap 20 min - burpees, hspu, pu, and deadlifts was a big hit at our box.

Double-unders. I find that taking off my socks and shoes helps ALOT. With shoes I can only pull off 5 - 10, but when I take them off I'm magically able to crank out over 100 consecutively. Warning: your toes might hate you at first.

Andy, how many DU's are you up to consecutively these days? 300 + yet?
