Coach Nicks Weekly Workout : Battle Ropes

Incorporating Battle Ropes into your training is a very beneficial addition to any type of training program. Whether you are exercising to get stronger, bigger, or even trying to shed some pounds. You can include these ropes into your program to add some variation. At our facility we use these ropes almost every day within various training sessions that consist of high school and college athletes, washed up meatheads, and some women warriors. Most people enjoy using them because they are BADASS and a fun way of changing things up. We use them for cardio, muscular endurance, and conditioning. There are many different sizes and styles of ropes you can use for different exercises. For stronger people and/or shorter periods of time we use the heavier ropes to make things more difficult. You can vary it up anyway you want from two hands at once, one hand then the other, from your knees, or even jumping up off the ground. The best part about these ropes is the fact that the more effort you give, the more beneficial they become. I tell all of my clients, “Just keep them moving!” You need to give these exercises 100% if you wish to truly feel accomplishment.
