Jump Rope: Drilling the Rope Swing With Buddy Lee

ByCrossFit March 21, 2022

The right rope rotation, the perfect jump, and good timing — when executed effectively, these are the components that keep you from getting tangled in your jump rope or lashed with the whip marks of enthusiastic but failed efforts.

“We’re trying to coordinate the rope swing with the perfect jump,” says Buddy Lee of the CrossFit Preferred Course: Jump Rope.

Lee, who is a U.S. Olympian, CrossFit jump rope subject-matter expert, and widely recognized as one of the world’s foremost jump rope authorities, leads a master class in this common CrossFit exercise. Participants will leave the class with clear paths to elusive jump rope skills, such as double-unders, triple-unders, and more.
