Posted a new jumprope video on youtube. Last one I did I first posted here a year ago and that got 45,000 views to date, now that that one is outdated I made a new one. Check it post comments. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aYDjrgYs5g
I don't mind contructive critisism, but thats just being an *******. When did I ever say I jumped like him? And hes a top professional, how can you even compare me to him? Don't say something like that just because you suck and are jelous.
I am very, very jealous of those skills. I do nothing worse than jump rope. How long have you been skipping?
Nice man, i liked the weighted stuff too.. Right now im just now getting to the point where i can criss-cross and skip at the same time, but i never even tried to cross till 2 days ago, so im actually making pretty good progress, before that i just did sprints and normal skipping(no cross).
Thanks and I'll just tell you right now, don't spend to much time trying to learn all those moves, they sorta come naturally after jumping for awhile. Half those moves I do I learned by accident just ****ing around with the rope on my free time at home. When I skip rope before an acctual training day in the gym, I try to limit those moves, this way I'm skipping hardcore for the full 3min without ****ing up. No point in skipping if you mess up every 5secs trying new moves. Since I started boxing 7 years ago.
impressed with the last 30 seconds mostly with the weights on the wrist. try this... it will get u crazy fit. get a clock and sit it infront of where ur skipping. use 10 seconds intervals. first ten seconds is relaxed second ten seconds is sprints third set of ten seconds is double ups then skip normally DO THIS FOR THE WHOLE ROUND EVERY ROUND. i was doing this wen my wrist wasnt injured. realy helps ur stamina
I acctaully do something very similar to that during real training. This video was filmed during my free time in my basement. When I'm at the gym I limit the fancy moves and concentrate on going allout for the full 3min without messing up. No point in jump ropeing if your messing up causing you to stop for a second. Again this video was made just to showcase moves and whatnot, not the process of acctaul training. I do use the weights during the jumping though, mostly the wrist weights, those cause more resistance. The weighted vest helps a little to build strenght in the calfs and feet, but I use it more for calistenics and running.
Greg, that is AWESOME work!!!! Real good movement and balance. You seem real light on your feet, man. I have the Buddy Lee book and your jumping definitly resembles his style, just like Floyd. Greg, which Buddy Lee rope do you use, his 30 dollar speed (black handles, his crosstrainer for 20 dollars (long handles) or his junior speed (red handles)? Thanks. Also, how much do you weigh? I wrestle and I'm 260 and find it difficult to keep my elbows all the way in like you and Buddy suggest. Do you have any suggestions? I'm also having a hard time with cross' because of the muscles, but maybe if I use a slightly longer rope? What do you think? Here is a video of me jumping, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGMVgdFf9S8 if possible would you be able to look at it and make a suggestion , (foot work, rope length or anything)? Thanks and keep it up.
I use the Aero Speed Rope and I weight 150lbs. As for your video, very nice job. You where very fast and in control for your weight, I was not expecting that at all. As for the rope lenght, that looks more than long enough, if you step on the middle of the rope with both feet and the handle tips reach your armpits then that is how long the rope should be. As for the crosses, it's really hard for me to comment on what you can do since I didn't see you attempt any. I can tell the your lats get in the way of you keeping your elbows tucked in, which is a bit of a problem for doing crosses and the problem with increasing the rope size to more than you need will mess up your other moves from the rope slapping the ground every rotation. Only thing I can really think of, is for you to try and use your wrist rotation more when following through with the cross, other than that it is just lots of practice and patience.
Thanks for the tips, Greg. and again, VERY impressive work!! Do you happen to have any boxing vids around and what level fighter are you?
