If you have been following the fitness industry the past year, you probably came across Rope Training, also called The Battling Ropes System, created by John Brookfield. Rope Training, or "undulation" has been incorporated into my fitness programs to work on velocity and endurance training. To perform this exercise, one must maintain constant power over a long period of time. This is a missing element in many training programs. Performing this, your body is in constant motion. There is no "positive" or "negative" portion of the repetition. It is all work, all the time. Other benefits include increased aerobic/anaerobic capacity, increased power/strength, and mental toughness. I have also included the Ropes into rehab protocols for rotator cuff and scapular stabilization as well as core stabilization with great results.
You can purchase these ropes in varying lengths (most popularly 50 feet), of different materials (manila, nylon, polymanila). Many websites are now selling these ropes, at expensive prices. I have purchased a 1.5" and 2" thick manila rope from the following site at what I feel is the best price out there. They offer great quality with cheap shipping, and you can order the length of your choice. Below is the link. Enjoy
