How to do Triple Unders: Elevation - It seems only appropriate that the more revolutions a cable makes under your feet, the higher you’ll have to jump. - Start out with a special focus on the height of your jumping, even with singles and doubles. - This creates a rope rotation that is nice and relaxed, and will prevent you from getting too aggressive. Timing - Once you are capable of spinning that rope three times in one jump, focus on your timing. - The third revolution of the cable should barely clear your feet to ensure enough time to rebound back up into the air. First revolution, fast; Second revolution, fast; Third revolution; slow it down! Body Awareness - Don’t let your arm position change. - From singles, doubles, triples, and even quads, the arms should not change positioning! - Your elbows bent and pushed back, and your hands close to the anterior hip. - The only changes you make when adding rope revolutions are in speed, height and timing – not positioning. No Fish - Get rid of the “dolphin” or pike jump. - Practice bringing heels up to your butt to fix this bad habit. - Ideally, your legs will stay in a neutral plane (up and down, not biased anteriorly or posteriorly). Don’t stress - We often perceive the double-under to be fast and aggressive – a misconception that is only exacerbated by the notion of a triple under. - Keep all of your movements small and controlled.
