Double Dutch!
People have been asking about jump rope and where to buy them. I ordered our white ones from Again Faster. I can put in a bulk order late next week if anyone wants to pay me in advance just throw in an extra dollar for shipping.
The white ropes we have in the gym now are the Championship Freestyle Jumpropes and T-Bone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that Cable Freestyle jumprope is the one you have? I love that rope!! Although it hurts a little worse when you miss! It should be noted that the Championship Freestyle is adjustable, but the Cable is said to not be. Even though it works for those 6’3″ I PR’ed my double unders with it the first time. And perhaps M3 can figure out a way to adjust it.

I’m in, Shanna. Tell me how much the total is.
I loved the WOD today, and I loved pairing up with my WOD buddy Brooke. We had fun. (I can’t say in general that I find WODs “fun” while they are happening to me. They are grueling, terrifying, gut-busting.) What a great way to end the week. I did all my pushups today with toes, and I was able to knock them off quickly. I could do one maybe two pushups with toes in September when I started on ramp. Bless Crossfit.
I would like to get 2 ropes for Owen and myself. How do you know which one to go with though? The freestyle vs. the cable? Either way! I’m in, just post a total or something and I’ll bring a check with me in the morning.
I’ll take a rope. I want the same kind TC has, because I want to be Bad to the Bone. Does the cost include the box of Depends I need to go with it????? I’ll bring you money on Monday.

Great work today everyone!
The rope I have is the PowerMax 9′ Speed Rope. It is NOT on the link on that website. Jon Gilson personally recommended it to me because it’s the one he uses, and you just have to call and ask for it. Like Shanna said, it is not adjustable, but someone handy could figure out a way to adjust it. Assuming you don’t want to mess with that, it is generally good for someone who is at least 5’8…but I did witness Shanna PR her double unders with it, and she’s NOT 5’8
. I will say that my consecutive double under PR was 27 when I got that rope, and I hit 50 consecutive double unders with it after a week of using it. It is insanely fast. And, yes, it really REALLY hurts when you miss…so that is incentive to get good quickly. As for the other ropes on their website, I don’t like the way the handles turn on the Championship Freestyle ones we have at the gym. I also own the Super Speed Jump Rope on the website, and I like the way the handles turn a lot more…the Super Speed Jump Rope is adjustable for shorter people.
Yeah, I own a lot of jump ropes, and I’m picky about them…but I also like to jump rope and I’m pretty good at it
.
As for the WOD, I was really grumpy this morning, and then I was even more grumpy because there was no barbell. But, I managed to kip two HSPUs for the first time, and then Shanna and I got to kick butt together…so that made it all good.
Miriam, “If you’re not nervous before you train, you’re not training hard enough.” Heh. Looks like you’re training hard enough. Congrats on the pushups, woman! I still hate pushups.
And, I have to give props to Phoebe and Kelly for having the best team name, hands down.
just when I was all proud of myself and Dan, Corey and Chris totally put a stop to it. Great work everyone that was fun. I want a Tamara special speed rope
I do not like to self-flagellate like T-Bone does, and the 5’8″ thing has me worried even though Shanna was successful using the PowerMax. Shanna is Shanna, and Miriam is not Shanna, and therefore Miriam needs a rope that will not leave gaping lacerations when she screws up trying her pathetic double unders for the first time. “The Super Speed Jump Rope is adjustable for shorter people.” Can I get that one when you order, Shanna, or maybe I need to order that individually?
Yes, Miriam…and all others who have put in requests. Please bring $$ early next week and I’ll get them ordered. Thx!
T-Bone how much is the secret rope not listed on the site?
Excellent, thanks.
I just went on line to the site and the first thing I read is “great for triple unders.” Oh, yeah. Just stomp on my ego a little bit more.
I had so much fun with this WOD and I had a great partner. I’m thinking in order to keep things fair, maybe Chris and Corey shouyld not be allowed on the same team for these partner WODS. Doesn’t seem like a fair fight. I’m not so sure Shanna and T-bone should be aloud to team up either.
J$: Three Words: Sweep the Leg!
Tom: we worked hard for it… You guys put up a tough fight. We didn’t slow for a second.
We did it after the noon class. When we were done seeing patients there was no one else to partner with. With a team name as a challenge “beat us” we took them on. Next challenge: birthing 8 children!
The secret rope is about the same price as all of the other ropes…$11 or $12. I can chat with Jon and find out if we can get a CFA super secret jump rope deal…he owes me after forcing me to row 2k this afternoon.
And, J$, in our defense…I worked out at 9:20 am today instead of 6:00 am…and we had an odd number of people, and NO ONE PICKED ME to be their partner. So, Shanna and I had no choice but to crush the WOD together.
“NO ONE PICKED ME to be their partner. So, Shanna and I had no choice but to crush the WOD together.”
This is like a flashback to junior high gym class for me! Glad I could be the one to rescue you. haha
Wow. I’ve only birthed one and I’m proud of myself. 7 is incredible. This was such a fun WOD! Thanks to the 8:40 class for a fabulous time. I’m good ‘n sore. –Micah
