Workout Description
Maximum number of consecutive triple-unders.
Why This Workout Is Very Hard
High-skill jump rope variation requiring exceptional timing, coordination, and wrist speed.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): Requires exceptional explosive power in the jump (plyometrics) and very fast wrist action to rotate the rope three times per jump. This is a high power-output skill.
- Speed (8/10): Extremely fast rope speed and precise timing are the essence of triple-unders. The 'speed' is in both rope rotation and jump turnover.
- Stamina (7/10): Extreme test of calf, wrist, and shoulder muscular endurance to maintain the height and speed needed for triple rope rotations. Coordination stamina is also heavily taxed.
- Endurance (5/10): High cardiovascular demand due to the intensity and coordination required. Tests anaerobic capacity and skill under fatigue.
- Flexibility (3/10): Good wrist and shoulder mobility helps with efficient rope rotation. Ankle flexibility for jumping.
- Strength (2/10): Minimal maximal strength required, but good relative leg strength for jumping height and wrist/forearm strength for rope speed are beneficial.
Modality Profile
Primarily a monostructural cardio movement (jump rope) with a high degree of gymnastic skill (timing, coordination).
