I started using a weighted muay thai-style weighted rope (the rope itself is heavy, I think 1lb, which is plenty) and it has definitely proven to be a game changer as it challenges differently than a speed rope, and may be even more fight sport specific. I was recently reminded that my high school basketball team (early 90s) did weighted rope for conditioning drills using recycled garden hose cut to lengths. . .
Give it a week or two before trying to lube or ‘help’ the handles spin. I’ve had a few baring handle type ropes that need a few sessions to loosen up. Cross rope was no different and the same for this cheaper version. Give them a few days or hours of use to loosen up 👍 A drawback to lubing or applying wd40 is the handles then become messy and dirty and oily / greasy forever. Helpful video as always 👌
We should not encourage "copycat" companies who exploit the success of other companies/individuals work, often with inferior products...but c'mon, it's not as though CR spent years and billions in development to come up with a revolutionary product, rather they took something that has existed forever, weighted ropes and put their "spin" on it, combined with marketing. The free market has spoken...CR is priced too high.
looks like they changed the product. I clicked on the company name and they had an orange 1lb one in their products t but I have that and I don't like it as much as the white one in this video. It's decent, don't get me wrong.
I'm personally not a fan of the handles of these ropes, personally but if this was here last year before I bought a crossrope I would have bought it in a heartbeat
I won't be buying this JR. My problem is that it's obviously a rip off of Crossrope. Even the company website and the pictures on Amazon. If you can't afford the full price CR they always have sales and have a look in the clearance section. That's were I bought all of my gift sets and different ropes I wanted to try without buying new handles. This company reminds me of "Uncle Martian". The Under Armour rip off.
I think $150 is too much for a rope even after discount. I got one, it's good but I feel the price does not make a sense. I would have bought this if I found them earlier. I searched and searched for quality weighted rope.

Great info. Thank you for sharing.
About to order this rope now, as a complete beginner it’s hard to justify cross ropes price, but for 25 bucks this seems like an insane deal
I just bought this rope. Great quality and both handles spun easily. Awesome rope for the price.
Elite Jumps has good ropes too and they are made or assembled in USA

Thanks I just ordered one after watching your review.
Great video. Was looking to find a good rope and this one really helped me narrow down the options. Thanks!
thank you and you're welcome
I have the cross ropes light and heavy set, but I found them on OfferUp. Didn’t pay nowhere near as much for them.
nice!
The link in ur description is for a 1/4lb rope

Would you recommend this 1 lb rope to a beginner that's otherwise reasonably fit? Or should I be looking for somewhat lighter ones (eg. half lb) ?
all sizes are good for beginners it’s just what type of workout you want
@@FleekHD My requirement is very basic now. Have problem with tripping with speed rope. Looking to get started.
@@huaxzhang I went with the crossrope get lean set and the 1/4 is my favorite and the 1/2 is what I use to learn tricks
If you're already pretty fit, I'd still suggest you get a heavy rope and a speed rope. They do provide different intensities as you can imagine.

Will the pvc rope snap at the screw junction?
not sure, but it hasn't yet. I use it a couple times a week.
Good review...I would probably swap the bearings with from my son's skateboard..lol
thank you for the feedback. greatly appreciated.
CrossRope is where its at, These are just knock off's
Have you compared them?
@@semzip8558 Yes i have, and i stand by my comment
@@EpicPownage what would you say are the main differences?
all these CHINA made!! I M so proud!!!

I rather buy this rope instead of getting ripped off from Crossrope spending $160 on a jump rope. no thanks
@@ironlionzion2265 smart 💯
Then don't buy it crossrope fanboy
