Double Under & Triple Under Progression

IMG_6072

We’ve worked Cross-Overs, we’ve worked Single-Leg Double Unders, you had to know at some point the Triples were coming to CFDC’s Open Gym programming. Dig in and enjoy!


10-12min Mobility
Athletes are encouraged work through the following combination of mobility exercises after warming up to help them prepare for this week’s Open Gym progression:
– 1-2min/side Hip Flexor Stretch w/ Traction;
– 1-2min/side Death Stretch (aka Couch Stretch)
– 4-5min/side Calf Smash with foam roller /or/ Calf Smash with barbell;
– 2-3min/side Half Kneeling Ankle Flexion w/ band traction.
– – (note that the PVC is on the outside of the foot, and the knee then goes to the outside of the PVC)


Progression
20-25min practice, start at Step 1, and work as far through the following steps as possible.
If you have consistent Double Unders, you may opt to work on Triple Unders instead.

  1. Step 1 = 100 unbroken single skips;
  2. Step 2 = 60 unbroken single skips (vary the speed every 10 reps) //OR// 30 unbroken double unders;
  3. Step 3 = 4-5 single skips + 1 double under //OR// 2-3 single skips + 1 triple under;
    • don’t progress until able to hit 3 double unders or triple unders in this manner without stopping.
  4. Step 4 = 2-3 single skips + 1 double under //OR// 2-3 single skips + 1 triple under;
    • don’t progress until able to hit 3 double unders or triple unders in this manner without stopping.
  5. Step 5 = 1-2 single skips + 1 double under //OR// 1-2 single skips + 1 triple under;
    • don’t progress until able to hit 3 double unders or triple unders in this manner without stopping.
  6. Step 6 = max unbroken double unders //OR// max unbroken triple unders.

    Just want to note that this picture is of *someone* not doing double unders and dominating the single skip portion of the Smackdown because he doesn’t do double unders. I feel some un-motivation happening here!

  2. Julia says:

    Hmm. Dray, you make a pretty good case here.

    And those really were spectacular single skips!!

    Wait. Are triple unders a THING? I thought that was a joke until I read Step 3…
