#53: 100 Reps of a Skill Movement

Intro: Skills don’t improve by accident — they improve with focused, deliberate reps. Whether you’re learning double-unders, handstand kick-ups, or toes-to-bar, repetition is key.

This RB100 challenge focuses on performing 100 reps of a skill-based movement. The goal isn’t just to complete it, but to perform each rep with intent.

Movement Ideas

Choose one:

• Double-unders
• Kipping or strict toes-to-bar
• Handstand kick-ups or holds
• Pistols (single-leg squats)
• Rope climbs or rope pulls
• Turkish get-ups

Your 100 reps can be broken up any way you need — e.g. 10×10, 5×20, or even 20×5 if the movement is intense.

How to Approach It

• Focus on form and quality over speed
• Use video feedback or a coach if possible
• Take notes on consistency, rhythm, and sticking points

Scaling Options:

• Modify range (e.g. banded TTB, wall-supported handstand kick-ups)
• Reduce to 50 or 75 reps if it maintains movement quality

Why It Works

• Builds neurological efficiency and coordination
• Develops confidence and technique under volume
• Translates directly to improved performance in CrossFit, calisthenics, and HYROX
