Homemade Gym Stuff Battling Ropes? B-a-t-t-l-i-n-g R-o-p-e-s-? Ropes that Battle; Whatever next?



Team 'em up with a GymBoss
And you're good to go!


Here's info on sizing and usefulness:
The 1.5” 50 ft. rope is the best rope to start with for general physical preparedness & conditioning. The benefits of training with this rope are as follows:

  • Increased muscular & strength endurance (work capacity & sustained power/velocity)
  • Increased cardiovascular endurance
  • Great for warm up & cool down
  • Helps remove blood lactate (lactic acid build up)
  • Builds mental toughness
  • Great for core training (when done properly)
  • Trains & balances both sides of the body
  • Can be used for foot work & balance drills (i.e. lunges, Bosu, jumping jacks, stability discs, etc.)
  • Can be used by beginners, intermediate or advanced by varying rope length or by adding training complexes.
  • Develops basic grip strength
  • Good for rehab or working around an injury
  • Weight loss/fat burning
  • Develops balance & rootedness
  • Can be used for modified partner training (16.5 ft. ropes are best for this)
 The 2” 50 ft. rope is best for specific or specialty physical preparedness and athletic conditioning:

  • Intermediate & advanced or for larger, heavier athletes
  • Power & explosive training (short duration)
  • Extreme mental toughness
  • Great for core training
  • Advanced grip training (grappling or racket sports)
  • Used by NFL and MMA Pro’s.
