I scaled to 75 DU and 40/45/50kg and did 2+8, 2+1, and 2+5 rounds.
This was my first time using my new rope for large sets of DUs and it was weird. Once I got through 5 or 6 and got into a rhythm, I could bang out a large set and feel relaxed. I think I did a set of 30 in the 3rd round. But if I didn't get through 5 or 6, I kept failing. And I failed a lot. As a result, my heart rate spiked really high after the double unders in each round. It was a bit of a shitshow since getting through the 75 probably had my heart rate above 90% and then I just struggled through the rest. It defeated the point of this workout. I have already ordered a new rope which is an inch longer, since I don't want to struggle through relearning double unders.
I felt really beaten up afterwards, like after a 5k TT. Doing power cleans and burpee box jumps for a few minutes after near max heart rate is not fun. A disappointing session, but I picked this for cardio and to test out my new rope. Mission accomplished, I guess.

Thank you! It is actually my main focus now, although only since 2 weeks ago when I started ATS. I really want to smash through some PRs and add 10-15kg to all lifts.
