The Triple Under

Yep, it’s a real thing. For those of you who have double-unders, you’re going to practice the tripple. Have no fear, if you still feel like a novice with the double-under, we’ll continue to work on that. The triple will have to wait!

The tripple-under has been popping up on mainsite WODs over the last several months. Just when you thought double-unders were tough! Below is a cool tutorial by Carl Paoli and Jami Tikkanen. Here are some of the points they cover:

Jump high (higher than the double-under).

Keep the chest tall and look up to stay in an optimal body position.

Follow progressive acceleration with your wrist during the 3 revolutions (see video for details)

Start with a double-under, then go into tripple attempts.

Follow the pattern of double-under (DU) + DU + tripple under (TU) (the plus sign means you’re linking them)

Then progress to DU+DU+TU+DU+DU+TU

Once you get consistent with the triple, try DU+TU+DU+TU+DU+TU

Today will be just the start. You might see the triple-under in a WOD this week. Like tomorrow. The progressions we talk about and work on are just the start. Some ninjas may get it today. For others, you can keep practicing with me!
