Anyone using battle ropes?

I do. Started with them at the studio, bought a set for myself. Get man made, the natural fibre ones shed, split and leave a mess.
 
I do!
I bought the super long natural ones, have not failed!
I have the long yard to use them but these days HIIT has just been so much easier on a spin bike!

Tabata ropes FTW!
 
i want to. my gym has them but im too scared to use them as they make heaps of noise and i'll look like an unco **** trying to use them for the first time

It really takes no talent. Just keep it moving and don't flap your arms, that's asking for an injury!
Get on it :thumbup:
 
You just have one rope mounted in the middle, or 2 ropes laying down or?

I've considered them. Also considered a climbing rope but trying to decide the best place and method of mounting it.

haha I used to think the same. Seriously, if I can use them and not end up looking like I'm a candidate for a mercy killing, you'll be fine :D

In point of fact, I need to get a rope as it would be great to get back to using them (it's been a while) given I can't do anything with impact ever again so limiting my conditioning options.
 
Battle ropes are really good tools for arm exercises but you would need a really wide space to do exercises using them. I wanted to try them but I don't have the luxury space either in my garage or even in the gym where I go to.

one 15m rope wrapped around a pole halfway works well.
