They showed Pavlik doing double unders in a video before his fight Saturday night. I cannot get the hang of them. How do you do them? What am I dong wrong?
It's just like doing a regular jump, but you swing the rope around twice. This requires you to move the rope around fast while you jump high. It takes a while to get the hang of but keep at it, I just learned how to do it a couple weeks back. My advice is don't worry about it for a while, practice regular jumping, and try it again.
I thought double unders were the thing with the pushup with one hand on a ball or brick or something, and you jump from side to side and change the arm?
When I first tried I kept bending my knees and just tried to swing the rope hard enough to get round twice but I was only able to pull it off when I stayed more straight legged and pushed from my toes.
just relax and it'll cum its easy once you get the hang of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqpfSkTc2uM&feature=related thats me doing it and i thought id never be able to but you just need to relax and do quick bursts with ur hands
Hmm its not that easy. Make sure youve got a speed rope by the way. Its harder to do with a weighted leather rope
