I don't even train CrossFit -- I'm powerlifting -- but I've watch ur videos for mounts. Tried CrossFit once and almost died, maybe I will try it again someday. Just wanted you to know that you are inspiring people outside CrossFit as well. Keep up the good work, you're awesome!

English is not my native language so sorry for any grammar errors; I'm from Sweden.

Hi Craig, the Army use the saying in a slightly different way - 'What does practice make? Permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect!!!'. Another one is - 'Amateurs practice until they get it right and professionals practice until they can't get it wrong!'. It's all about building the muscle
memory... Been watching the videos for about 6 months now; love them!!! 🏋🏻🏃🏻💪🏻

I just watched this, and my first impression is it that this is a FANTASTIC tutorial! I can't wait to try it. I think my first task is to work on my _single_ unders with my elbows closer to my ribs.

Since I started watching your videos, in the last 2 weeks I have joined a box done my fundamentals course and did my first full class tonight! It was tough but "we do not quit"! You and Jaz are a great inspiration and so uplifting! See you in the

I just got my DU about a month ago. You have to relax a little. This move use to keep me from RX-ing my wods. So glad I finally got them.

This is the BEST double under tutorial I’ve found yet.

[eduardotrinidad]

out of all the tutorials i've seen, this is the only one that really stressed the importance of having the right mindset in learning the double unders, and set honest expectations. super frustrating, kept at it for 2 hours straight, finally hit it, found the rhythm, got to 10 counts. thanks!

Craig you helped me make a DU breakthrough with this video. I have struggled with them for 6 months and today after watching this I discovered my rope was too long. I did a long chipper with 10 rounds which included 24 DUs in each. I started doing it @ single single double cadence *with a shorter rope*. On the last 3 rounds I decided to go for it and did all 3 rounds unbroken. Most I’ve done unbroken ever. Thank you my friend! WE DON’T QUIT!

I would add 1 final tip. make sure to keep your head up and "stare" at a fixed point, like it is about 30 yards away. by doing this you should just be able to see your hands in your peripheral vision. this was absolutely key for me, took me just about 2 years to finally become proficient. good luck and don't ever give up.

Thing that helped me a lot was where I was focusing my gaze. Finding a spot on the ground about 10 ft in front of me and trying to jump in the same spot with feet together. Love your tutorials! I'd watch them with anything. How to eat a grapefruit, how to shop for Sparky's biscuits, etc.

7 years later and this video still teaching lessons ❤

[CarlyRowena]

Yes, yes, YES - needed this! Thank you x

[scottleopold]

the best drill is the "double hip tap". without a rope, jump up and down like jump roping and each time your jump up tap your hip twice. practice this until you can do it 50+ times in a row without getting out of sync. it should be second nature. then pick up a jump rope and do the same thing, but in stead of tapping your hips, just spin the rope

[EmmaTrumble]

As a competitive jump roper, this is super cool. We seem to do things very differently, but still great tips!! And also there is a product called speed balls that are super useful, they are handles with a foot or two of rope on them and a wiffle ball on the end. They keep your hands separate and work really well, check them out!

I'm in my third week of CrossFit. Sometimes I don't want to go, but watching you and @obesetobeast keeps me motivated and gets my butt out the door. Thank you!

[karenross]

Best video I’ve watched over hundreds! Great great tips!!

[marxworld]

This is the 8th video on double unders i've watched in half an hour and this one is hands down the best.! Very clear-cut instructions, great tips and the exercise drills are phuckin fenomenal. Appreciate this, mate

[jamieanderson]

Top video. These instructional ones were why I first started watching and following your channel. As others have said, you are good at breaking things down and explaining it clearly. Do more like this and less of the editing showcasing. Thanks to you, Jas, your old man and all the crew at the box for smashing out the content consistently- it's cool 🖒💪

First thought in the morning "better search a good length for my rope for today at the gym", open Youtube and all of the sudden Craig saves the dayyy

[DusanSim]

Great form, Craig! I think one of the keys is to have enough strength in your calves in relation to your body weight to be able to jump that high (for a longer period). Beginners usually lack it.
