So, as you can see from the workout, it is a long piece, followed by a sprint.  Treat it as such.  Find you rhythm on the Double unders to finish them efficiently, then SPRINT on the row.

Video courtesy of Mobility WOD.  Great thought on movement transfer of double unders to Oly Lifting.  and you thought we just wanted to get you sweating.  In truth we’re helping reinforce movement patterns used in other things.  Hip extension is hip extension.  Would we ever ask you to do a power clean were you jump into a donkey kick?  No, we would want you to get triple extension to successfully get the weight as high as possible.  Same thing with double unders.  We want you to hit a triple extension to get your body as high as needed to pass the rope under twice.  As a great coach once told me, “It’s almost like this stuff actually works!”
