The Crossfit Open is here and crossfit athletes around the world are gearing up for a challenge. Since 2007, the Crossfit Games, and later in 2011 the Crossfit Open, have been a staple of the community drawing thousands of participants each year. From February 26 to March 16, one workout is released a week for athletes of all levels to compete and submit their scores, all leading up to the Crossfit Games in July, where the top athletes compete for the title of “The Fittest on Earth.”
The open is known for including a variety of loved and sometimes hated movements - we’re looking at you burpees. But one movement stands above the rest, double unders. This skill has appeared every single year without fail, which is why it’s imperative for any serious athlete to dial in this skill.
Double unders require precision, coordination, and endurance, evolving from a tough benchmark to an expected standard in the Open. Having the right gear can help you practice efficiently, while saving you time while you progress through the Open WODs. Here are four reasons why a Double Under Wonder speed rope is perfect for taking on the Open:
-
Made for pure speed: Engineered with a ball-bearing system that delivers smooth rotations for effortless double unders.
-
Custom fit: Each rope is hand cut to your exact height ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
-
Durable and lightweight: Hollow handles and galvanized stainless steel cable coated in PVC make for an unbeatable build when it comes to those high-rep sets.
-
Standout style: Vibrant color combinations and patterns let you customize your rope to match your style, stand out during workouts and rep your signature colors.
