When I first started with my 3lb rope I underestimate seriously I tried to do 3 sets of 20 and I was toast. Now I do 5 to 10 sets of 30 with battle ropes, stairs, and burpees mixed in. This rope will turn you into a beast I recommend it. Plus when you use a regular rope after it feels like a string.
The ropes are durable and just like the ones at the gym. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxTFxba6lNeHrZaHoY_LXe6ZzmMfaipnwu Caution: I bought the 50 feet ropes and they are long and heavy so make sure you have the space (I do have the space). If I was to do it again I would probably get a shorter version as 50 feet (25 feet each side) is a little long.
Delighted to hear that Richard. Great looking sheds on your website. Very cool! Good things, Andrew P.S. If you enjoy personal development stories and jumping rope, you might enjoy my book: amzn.to/3P3RuAi
Thanks for this, I have this rope and the 35mm rope. Currently doing two sets of a 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 pyramid style workout. Have to do this every other day due to fatigue on forearms and shoulders.
Heavy rope jump rope training definitely can fatigue the forearms and shoulders faster than normal, which is not necessarily a bad thing depending on what your aim is.
With that pyramid style, would you say you have BUILT muscle or LOST muscle overtime? I'm asking because I am considering buying an even heavier jump rope (7lbs) to build muscle.
I used to have a rope with added weights inside the handles until after about a year it wore out. I would do 30 minutes with a few breaks in between. Now I recently bought one these and it is a huge difference, but I know I’ll get the hang of it. Jump rope is awesome, and great video man!
I got 2lb version of that rope and it’s been the best workout equipment I’ve brought so far. Doing sets is perfect 30 hops and rest 45 seconds or whatever you comfortable with works great.
i put the sponge from the lighter rope over the handles of the heavy rope much more comfortable i also sawed off the excess lentgh of handle so it fits my hand can get much more reps now with foam grips and right sized handles
Can I jump rope using light rope only everyday with no rest for 30 mins will it still effect every part of the body and is it okay to do 50 times jump rope and 1 walk and so on everyday will I lose weight I’m 13 years old and weighting 69 kg by using light rope
When I was a kid, I often played indoor soccer at a nearby high school that had peg boards on the wall of the gymnasium. We used to try it. I remember it being a lot of fun and physically challenging. A lot of pro climbers use them. And they have serious grip, strength, and stability. I do a lot of hanging from bars, pullups, chinups. Rope climbing too when I have access to ropes. Note to self: get or build a peg board in the near future. :-) Thanks! You might like this video: th-cam.com/video/v8OSzeauozk/w-d-xo.html
Wow! I experienced the same thing with my heavy rope.. believe it or not I applied ankle socks around my index and thump when gripping the rubber handle. So far so good! 👊😎
Thank you my man! These ropes are no joke. It's completely different from jumping with a standard heavy rope. Because the handles are so thick and the rope is so heavy, the grip and forearm workout you get is serious. Even a few minutes at the end of a workout is plenty.
Hey man, I hope you enjoy the battle style rope. It's a serious conditioning tool. Good things, Andrew P.S. If you enjoy uplifting stories about personal development and transformation, you might enjoy my book Jump Rope Johnny and the Inspiring Mr. P: amzn.to/3KyS8S8
Hey guys! I just bought one of these ropes and today is the first day that I have used it, so this video has been super good for me, thank you very much !!! I have noticed tho that my left wrist hurt a little (I am right-handed). I have also noticed that the rope deviated to the left; that is, the bounce was not just below my feet or a little ahead, but more to the left, a little diagonally. I suppose it is due to poor technique with this rope, derived from a lack of strength in the left arm, but I would like to know if anyone has had any experience like this and can advise me! Thanks a lot!!!
How do you think a rope like this compares to an interchangeable weighted rope? Like the cross rope, but there’s other brands too. Watching videos it looks like they can swing 2lb, 3lb, ropes with less wrist movement. Because the clip joint can swing better than something like this thick rope. I suppose this could be a pro or con.
One advantage with heavy ropes like crossropes is they are more user-friendly on one's hands and grip. With battlestyle ropes, the handles are more rough and can twist in one's hands when spinning the rope which can be painful. Good things, Andrew P.S. I wrote an uplifting tale about a boy who lacks self-belief and struggles with bullying and weight issues. His life is forever changed when he meets a substitute teacher with a passion for jumping rope who teaches him several life lessons by way of teaching him how to jump rope.

Hi Andrew, I can see snow in your footage. In your experience, what is the lowest temperature that will allow you to perform arm tricks without breaking a pvc rope? Thanks
Hi Dominique, I always jump rope outside even in winter, unless I was inside at a building, such as a boxing club. On my channel, there are many videos in which I was jumping rope in well-below freezing temperatures and had to clear away snow in order to jump. Fortunately, my ropes rarely snapped. I came to learn that, as far as PVC ropes went, the ones with a string center seemed the most durable in such conditions.
Hey bro I had a question I wanna do a 30 day jump rope challenge where I do a 30 minute jump rope workout each I wanna incorporate this 3 pound jump rope towards the End of each workout but what weight and which jump rope would you recommend be the main part of my workout? (A 1/2 pound jump rope?)
yo so i’m worried about spraining my ankle or twisting it since it’s very prone to do so due to overuse sprains..i have this battle jump rope and i plan on skipping with it, just want to know if it’s ok to skip alternates (jump over it, jump in the air while it comes back down, jump over it again) with this rope at a slower than normal speed if i want to lose weight? let me know, cheers!
Hey Ron, yeah, one thing I mentioned as a drawback was that because the rope is quite thick, it means you have to jump higher that normal which is not ideal and it could lead to more tripping and indeed if not careful, worse.
After few days rope from my jump rope broke but it can be replaced but i guess speed rope is too much for me i put even little weight in jump rope handle but still maybe my legs cant keep up. So i think about crazy idea doing jump rope but with rope i will put around my hands . That rope what is for carrying car xd today tryed it little and damn it looked good. Hope it will be more effective than speed rope
I've never used a Crossrope heavy rope, so I couldn't say. I believe Crossrope also has a 3 lbs rope. One key difference between the two is that the rope in this video is literally a thick heavy rope; it's rope, the kind which you might use in school for climbing or for mooring boats. The Crossrope is not rope and is less thick, which may make it easier to spin. Not necessarily a bad thing. Until you try both, it's hard to say which you'd prefer. You might even like both but use them differently.
I just bought a heavy jump rope and when I try to use it, it hurts my wrists, any idea why or how to mitigate it? Am I trying to swing it too fast or something?
I use a 3lb heavy rope and found the same problem. The movements are different to my other ropes, so i had to adapt to very even, balanced mpvements between wrists forearms and upper arms. The less movement individually the better.
Also to consider. If the handles are rather small (or smaller than ur used to, u could quite possibly benefit from thicker handles. Maybe try some road bicycle vhandlebar wraps
I bought a 3 pound one on Amazon and it came with 2 covers that cover about 65% of the rope, I think even just one cover would be fine to prevent damaging it if it’s centered, also assuming you are on somewhat smoother concrete
Get your ass to Norway so I can show you doing Double Unders with that rope! XD, damn you gave me such a challenge I will not be able to fall asleep tonight! Wait some time, and hopefully you will see me doing those Double Unders with that Rope on my Channel :) Grettings from Norway and keep your inspiration going - Wiktor
haha I love your energy! Man, I see what you can do on your channel. I don't doubt your ability even with a heavy rope like this. You have incredible strength, speed, skill, and stamina. Shout out to Norway!
Hey there, I bought this one from amazon.co.uk: amzn.to/3q31utN The name of it is LTDOOIT. There are several others also available at similar prices on amazon.com
it's funny how you demonstrated all the other exercises possible with that rope, except actually jumping rope XD I kinda want to see how it rotates without an actual handle.
Gloves can help. I like nortech skipping ropes, too. I tried their ropes after you recommended them a few years ago. I mention them below a lot of my videos for those searching for durable and reasonably priced pvc ropes.
@@thewayofthejumprope Oh dam dude, I'm just seeing this comment. That's awesome man, I'm glad you like them. I appreciate a company that makes a good product. I sent them an email awhile ago seeing if they'd be interested in making a heavy rope themselves. They said they had a few people reach out and ask. Nothing yet, but I suppose it would have to be cost effective for them.
Hey Marlon, it can certainly be tough on the fingers especially when not used to it, but the hands and body are resilient. As mentioned in the video, I find not wrapping the thumb around the handles particularly helpful. Also, begin slowly. Doing so will allow your hands and body to get used to such a heavy, battle-style rope should you try one.
When I first started with my 3lb rope I underestimate seriously I tried to do 3 sets of 20 and I was toast. Now I do 5 to 10 sets of 30 with battle ropes, stairs, and burpees mixed in.

do you lose muscle or maintain it if you lift?
@@n.w.aicecube5713 I felt like I not only maintained it, but I also made improvements in my shoulders and forearms.
thanks for reponse, I was considering same@@BeastLegend91
I love using my heavy jump rope as a short warmup before my weight training. It gets my heart rate up and warms up all of my muscles!
Hey Dustin, that's certainly true. It's a serious warm-up.
Much respect to you for doing crossovers with this rope! These ropes are tough!
Thanks man!
You can also use gloves??
You certainly could. Some heavy rope companies provide gloves with their ropes as mentioned in the video

I purchased the 5 pound version holy crap this thing is a work out!!! I mainly use it for my off days from heavy lifting.
I just got a rope and I definitely do the double jump. That was exhausting.. thanks for that tip.
This is definitely perfect for intensifying my boxing training.
Thanks for this, I have this rope and the 35mm rope.

You're right about that. I was surprised just how physically demanding it was when I first tried.
This was extremely well thought out - thank you
I appreciate that Robert. Thank you.
I love battle jump rope
I use them along with kettlebell swings
Great for power efficiency
My vertical shot up
Now I’m dunking with ease
Hey, what short of program did you follow?
Awesome mix !💪🏾👊🏿
blister issue resolved - choke up on the grip right after the handle ends. that portion of the rope rotates while the handle doesn't
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
The best review on heavy jump rope!
Glad you liked it. Cheers!
With the added momentum and depending how fast you jump, the actual felt weight resistance is more than 2.95 lbs.
about 2-4 kg
i'm a skinny guy trying to build muscle who liked to jump rope, so i think this is perfect rope for me, not trying to burn many calories
My smartwatch marked about 640 calories in a 40 min routine with that jump rope... well I’m 5’5” so mine it’s a little smaller but it’s still 3lbs lol
great clip. some useful insights. thanks
Great info. Great video. Bless.
Thanks Mr. Bee
Ya for real with the handles it gets tough to keep a good grip on the rope by the time I get to 30 or 40 I'm barely hanging on.
:-) Yeah, it's a beast of a rope.
i put the sponge from the lighter rope over the handles of the heavy rope much more comfortable i also sawed off the excess lentgh of handle so it fits my hand can get much more reps now with foam grips and right sized handles

This is definitely a strength work !! Definite upper body work out .. how do feel about the old school peg board for a workout ?
When I was a kid, I often played indoor soccer at a nearby high school that had peg boards on the wall of the gymnasium. We used to try it. I remember it being a lot of fun and physically challenging. A lot of pro climbers use them. And they have serious grip, strength, and stability.
I do a lot of hanging from bars, pullups, chinups. Rope climbing too when I have access to ropes.
Note to self: get or build a peg board in the near future. :-) Thanks!

Great review.
Much appreciated Oscar, thank you.
I love using this rope, until I missed up and landed on it and rolled and broke my ankle. Great workout, but be careful when jumping on one leg.
Sorry to hear that. That's certainly true. The added thickness of some heavy ropes makes them more dangerous to use.
Wishing you a good recovery.

@@thewayofthejumprope justposted a video of me trying trying it out first time. It's labeled: trying 3lb jump rope

Hey Ron, yeah, one thing I mentioned as a drawback was that because the rope is quite thick, it means you have to jump higher that normal which is not ideal and it could lead to more tripping and indeed if not careful, worse.
True. I realized I had to focus more with Battle jump rope, because I did trip, and sprained my ankle - Which never happens with regular jump ropes.
i only get fatigued in my legs with the exact same rope
It certainly works the legs too.
After few days rope from my jump rope broke but it can be replaced but i guess speed rope is too much for me i put even little weight in jump rope handle but still maybe my legs cant keep up.

Sir what other exercise u do to main muscles
Calisthenics like push-ups, dips, pull-ups, chin-ups, squats, and rope climbing, etc.
This definitely beats cross rope

Sorry John, I'm only seeing this now. How are you doing these days with your heavy rope?
Thanks for sharing your experience and insight Adam
Is this heavy rope durable? For example, how long do you think it will last by using it on concrete?
I bought a 3 pound one on Amazon and it came with 2 covers that cover about 65% of the rope, I think even just one cover would be fine to prevent damaging it if it’s centered, also assuming you are on somewhat smoother concrete
Would it be good for learning boxer step and heel tap. Because it’s so slow ?
For those, it might be best to use a regular rope to begin with.
Why is double hopping bad?
It's not necessarily bad. But it's difficult to advance to more complex moves with a double hop.

Depends, Shimon, on what you want to achieve or your reasons for skipping.
