Battle Ropes
How to do it
- Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, holding one end of the battle rope in each hand with a firm grip.
- Hinge slightly forward at the hips to set an athletic base.
- Brace the core to stabilize the torso before starting the waves.
- Drive continuous waves through the ropes using the shoulders, drawing on the upper back to control each stroke while the core resists rotation.
- Keep the working pace steady and breathe in rhythm with the cadence rather than holding the breath.
- Avoid letting the shoulders round forward as fatigue sets in during the set.
