Warmup + light cleans
(1) Mini flight simulator: unbroken double unders
5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5
(2) 2 x cleans on the minute for 25 minutes
Load: 140# (80-90% of max)
Keg stretch, shoulder and hip stretches
- Notes: Cleans felt really good today. I likely could have gone a little heavier on this one, but it was a good way to work on form and get some volume in, as I have never done near 50 reps at that weight.
- Nutrition: Good, still room to clean up.
- Body: Upper back and calves are a little sore. Also my upper glute on the left side feels a little weird when I bend over to pick things up. Probably from work...feels nerve related (possibly sciatic), but might just be a tender spot.
What kind of jumprope do you use for double unders? I've never been able to find one that works.
ReplyDeleteI just have a very basic one from Academy sports. Places like there and Dick's seem to have good enough ropes for cheap. It's pretty average in terms of thickness or weight and whatnot...works fine though. What about yours doesn't work?
ReplyDeleteI never found one that spins. After a few double unders it gets twisted up and I have to untwist it. I don't think this would happen if it could rotate.
ReplyDeleteWeird...actually I remember mine kinda had that problem when I first got it but it eventually stopped for whatever reason.
