Re: Double Under Crash Course
I'll have to disagree with the "jump high turn the rope really fast" advice.
DUs are most efficiently done with a jump that is no higher than a regular single under. When helping new people to...

Interesting topic.

Re: Pull Up Bar Height
We just moved out of a garage-gym affiliate and into a new box and our pull-up bars at the new place are at 9'. It made a huge difference at first, but now we're all used to the additional height....

Re: studpullup bar
We've got 2 at my affiliate. Rock solid, even with a 250+ guy kipping. Easy to install.
Only gripe is the finish on the bar. I prefer unfinished metal, but for the price and ease of installation,...

Re: Kipping Chin Up Form/Technique
Hi Mischa,
A few thoughts, at the bottom you're not fully extending your arms. Your elbows still are slightly flexed. I find I get the smoothest kip with straight arms - but that just might be me....

Re: Rings: Rogue vs. Elite
Tyler,
I've only tried your product once, and it was about 18 months ago.
I should have been a bit more specific and just compared the rogue to the powermax rings directly. With that...

I can understand how you're a bit wary of "getting in the best shape of your life" from doing 1 rep of three workouts.
Today's workout is the CrossFit Total. It presents itself a few...

Re: Rogue Fitness (Bar, rings, service, etc.)

Yes, definitely like the changes on the Duvide dS.

Re: Which rings should I buy?
i have a set of powermax and rogue.
rogue straps adjust much, much easier. they're just the right diameter, bomb-proof and bill is a pleasure to do business with.

Re: Elite Rings or Xtreme Rings?
If you're interested in durability, get the Rogue Rings. I like them much better than my Powermax rings. That seems to be the consensus with those individuals who have tried both.

I've had a dS that I purchased from Bill @ Rogue Fitness for a few months now and the thing wears like iron. Plenty fast to do double unders, but it's not a speed rope in the strictest sense.
