Hi Mike...there is much debate on singles to double unders and rope climbs to pull-ups. I thought DU to singles was 4 to 1 however, a.m. class did 3 to 1. Could you please verify on both and I will write permanent note on blackboard.
Thank you
New P.R. on Deadlift 1 Rep 260

Katie, Great work on the Deadlift. Here's what I found with regards to your questions. I have never seen an official number of pullups that equals a 15 ft rope climb, but I have found 5 chest to bar pull-ups work fairly well. Hope the following info helps, if you have any other questions let me know. MP
What's the best substitute for rope climbing?
Towel pullups is the consensus best substitute. For more realism, alternate one hand high, one hand low on the towel. Some folks do towel pulldowns, as well. Standard rope length is 15', and standard substitution is 15 towel pulls.





Substitute for muscle-up?
Pullups and dips. Some have suggested 1 min of both somewhat equates to one muscle-up. Most common substitution is 3 pullups +3 dips, or 4 pullups +4 dips.

I don't have rings, or can't do ring dips.
Do 3 regular parallel bar dips for every ring dip prescribed.

I can't do double-unders, or I don't have a jumprope.
Do tuck jumps. Multiple single-unders in no way compensate for the exertion required for double-unders. Stand with your feet slightly inside the width of your shoulders. Bend your knees and lower your body down 8-12 inches. Explode into the air and bring your knees up to your chest in a tucked position. Upon landing, your feet should be in a strong, dorsi flexed or "toes up" position. Use your whole foot to generate power, not just your toes! Maintain good posture in your upper body. Keep your chest and head up. Don't let your shoulders lean out beyond your knees. This can stress your lower back. Explode off the ground as quickly as possible and repeat for the required number of repetitions.
