@@LaundryChuteLLC, my aunt painted it. I'm not sure where it is or the location that inspired her, but it's a nice painting. I'll ask her next time I talk to her.
I have this system, only missing the 2lb rope. I like it a lot. I ordered it according to my size and its length is perfect for me. The handles are nice and solid with a fair amount of heft. The workouts will have your tongue hanging out at first. My only issue is holding onto the handles while using the heavier rope, you'll end up with a sore set of thumbs.
Ren, thanks for watching and sharing. The 2lb is a good addition of you ever feel like adding more weight. It really tires me out, though. You're right on the sore thumbs. I usually switch to the power grip to alleviate that. You're right about the workouts haha. Your comment about your tongue hanging out made me laugh out loud, because it's true. 😂💪🏾
I'm totally new to jumprope as in three weeks ago was the first time I ever tried. I'm adamant to use it for my cardio for weight loss. I got the get lean set bc I heard the heavier rope is easier for beginners. It definitely made a difference from the regular pvc rope from Walmart I got. Bc the rope was heavier I could feel it better and it made jumping easier in the sense I didn't mess up as much and since I didn't mess up as much I could actually do a beginner workout and lemme tell you guys Do the same workout with a regular store bought rope vs a half pound rope and you feel the difference. Once I improve I may get the even heavier ropes
J Logan, welcome to the fold. Jump rope has changed my life for the positive in so many ways. You're right. The Get Lean set is great for beginners because it's weighted just enough to provide proper feedback. It also builds strength so that when you jump with a PVC rope, you can feel the difference. Keep getting after it and keep making your gains!
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks man. Now just gotta figure out ankle and shin pain. Using as best of form as I can but it may also just be bc I'm 285 and it's going to be uncomfortable for a while lol
@@jlogan2228, things that helped me and that continue to help me are jumping as little as possible (1/2 inch to an inch off the ground) and not trying to do too much, especially if I start hurting. From a nutrition standpoint, intermittent fasting and significantly reducing refined carbohydrates and sugar are the keys. Nutrition is 80 to 90% of the solution.
I got mine a couple of years ago. The handles got damaged after like 6 months and I got them changed for free. The rope got worn off because of the use (I jump on concrete) and used duct tape and the point where the rope hits the ground. Other than that I am happy. It is an expensive rope though.
Koufalia, thanks for stopping by the channel and commenting. I'm glad they took care of you when your handles started having trouble. They are expensive, you're right. The most important thing, though, is that you're happy with your purchase and that you're getting value from it. Take care and keep getting after it! ✌🏾💪🏾
Hello my friend!!i bought the get lean set 1 year ago...i have already bought 2 more ropes 1/4 lbs cause after 2 - 3 months of use it cutted off in the middle even i use a carpet of rubber. I expected these ropes to stand a longer time. The handles are great but i recommend after every trainning to put a little bit oil in the handle to avoid rust.
Antonios, great advice on the oil. My ropes have lasted for nearly four years, likely because I've used a mat. Thanks again for your support. JRTF. 💪🏾🙏🏾
I just started using the Get strong set. Finding the 1lb rope a bit too heavy and challenging. Will it get better or should I buy get lean set? I've been jump roping for 4-5 months now.
Pritam, it depends on your goals and how much you weigh/how strong you are.. How often are you using it? Is it too big for you? How much do you weigh? If it's been that long, it may be worth getting a smaller set like the Get Lean.
Thanks for the great reviews and honesty. I think I finally compound a rope comparable to crossrope. Its called the "gratitude rope" by jumprope mom here on yt. However I found a copycat, or maybe she's a reseller of a amazon rope that I found. The ropes have a similar attachment system. U get 3 ropes and a nice carrying case. I know u can't buy every rope for a review, but if u had any opinion to share, I'd appreciate the comment. Either way, keep up the good work and thanks for the videos
Divakenietha, my pleasure! I'm glad you found it helpful. You've brought up a great topic. From doing research and talking to an expert in the jump rope game, I've come to the conclusion that the Gratitude Ropes are a common design rebranded as various other ropes by retailers, one of them being Jump Rope Mom. I've seen at least one other person selling the same rope, but branded with their brand, on their IG. This is common in the jump rope business. What can make it tough to deal with is if the "rebranders" are charging people who don't know any better significantly more than what they're paying to buy the rope wholesale and place their brand on the rope. You never know for sure if people are doing that, but I have my suspicions with a few of the more popular rope dealers. This is nothing against Jump Rope Mom. I think she's a great inspiration and a skilled jumper; however, if you want something original and patented for only $20 more, I would go for a Crossrope.
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks a lot. I'm still new to jumping and budget conscious but after getting the family Christmas presents, I'm going to see if its in the budget. Otherwise, ill wait for the clearance option.
I'm purchasing every set crossrope have. I already have the lean set, and heavy set. I just started my jump rope journey January this year, now I can't put the rope down.
It is and honest and very clear review. Thank you for your good advice. I just have a question, can I use it outside? for example on a side walk or is for interiors as a gym? Congratulations
Richard, thanks for your kind words! You can use it outside, but I'd recommend using it indoors. If you use it outside, I recommend using it on a mat to preserve the rope and your joints. I hope that helps!
Jay, I appreciate it. Thanks for checking out the video. Great initiative on ordering your ropes. I think you'll find a lot of value in the Get Lean Set. It's an excellent investment.
Question: I noticed you don't use a mat with your crossrope. Does the concrete floor ruin the rope? Is a mat something I should buy with my rope since it's such an expensive rope? Thanks, you're videos are geat.
Moshe, great question. I was jumping on a track in that video, which is much better than concrete insofar as maintaining the rope's integrity. I always use a mat with the Crossrope. It's probably the only reason that my ropes are still in good shape almost four years later. JRTF.
Thanks for the review. Would you say it's possible to perform cross-overs & variations of them like double under crosses, with relative ease? They're my favourite! Thanks again.
Android Martian, I paid a little over $200 USD for the Get Lean and Get Strong in 2018. I think they're well worth the money! I use mine 3x per week and they show no signs of wear and tear.
My only complain on this rope is: the handle is too thin to handle the 1/2 LB rope. At least it is what I feel. So I use the Get Strong's handle (Power Handle) when using the 1/2 LB rope.
Andy, using the Power Handles is a great option for the Get Lean set. It works just as well, sometimes better. Thank you for watching and supporting.💪🏾🙏🏾
I got mine in July 2020 and have been jumping 4 to 5 times a week ever since. Both my ropes (green and white) just broke last week. Been jumping on tiles though
Bro i soooo much wanna get this rope but guhd dammit it’s way too pricey,I’m in South Africa 🇿🇦 and our currency versus the US$ is ridiculous(R18-US$1) I looked at the conversion,including shipping,this came close to a whopping R4500😭 I want this rope so bad but not now I’m afraid,I will save up for the year though...many folks have said that this rope is by far the ROLLS ROYCE of ropes,I don’t mind spending more on good quality so I’d much rather wait and save some more than buy cheaper shit that I’m gonna regret.Thanks for a great review on this, and as a newbie here I just like to tell you that I’m glad I found your awesome channel.✌🏿✊🏿🇿🇦
Hey man, thanks for supporting. Yes, this rope is expensive but it's worth it. Shipping can be a real problem for countries outside of the US and the EU. I've talked to a few people in Asia and they have the same problem you're having. I hope you can get the rope soon!
MrBEAR, thanks for stopping by man! The Get Lean is better, hands down. It's more expensive but far more durable. The Rush Athletics rope is decent but it's nowhere near the quality of the Crossrope. If you haven't seen my review of the money rope, check it out here:th-cam.com/video/YXYmqB6hhX8/w-d-xo.html
Jump Rope Veteran nice i have that and the get strong set too and was wondering out of the two which comes on top. Great channel and content JRV, keep up the dope work!
Hi Paris, great question. I rarely jump on concrete. I either use a mat or I jump on a track (I'm jumping on a track in this video), a basketball court, or a gym floor. My ropes show no sign of fraying after a year and a half of using them at least three times per week.
Thanks for the great review, I’m looking for a rope which is good for tricks such as double unders and variations of it. Would the get lean set be good for this, or the speed le set from Crossrope. Thanks
Solly, thank you for stopping by! The Get Lean, particularly the 1/4 lb attachment, is good for double unders and double under crossovers. I haven't tried the speed set yet, but I've heard good things. I think that you'll be successful in doing double under variations with either, but you'll be able to move the rope more quickly with the speed set.
Hey man! I like your review! My question is, does Get Lean set heavy enough to make the muscles work? Im confused because I really like to work my entire body and improve my athleticism.. Im confused between Get Lean set and Get Strong set and which one best suit my needs.
What's up Anfernee. I haven't heard that name since watching Anfernee Hardaway (the NBA player) when I was a kid. He was awesome. I think that the Get Lean is heavy enough. The 8 oz rope provides a lot of resistance. I'm usually pretty well spent after jumping with it. The 4 oz is no joke either, especially after protracted jumps of over three minutes. I hope that helps!
@@JumpRopeVeteran I greatly appreciate your reply man.. I forgot to tell you that my height is around 5'3.5 to 5'5"(as per my cousin's PME which records his height to be 5'6.5" but we look almost identical in height when not wearing footwear) and I weigh about 125 lbs to 127 lbs as of the moment. Is size small (8ft in length of rope) a suitable size for me? Been confused about this height issue thing and affraid I might purchase a wrong size of rope. Thanks man! More power to you!
I just got the 2020 get lean set and I find the handles a bit awkward. Got to get use to the handles. Also, I perform better with the 1/2 pound rope over the 1/4 pound rope.
I haven't tried the 2020 set yet. I need to do that. Yeah brother, I agree with you on the 1/2 rope. I think it's my favorite Crossrope attachment that I've tried so far, although I do enjoy the 1/4 rope.
@@JumpRopeVeteranI originally had the older version but just exchanged for the new one. The handles are a bit shorter and lighter. No complaints, just will take a bit of getting use to. Excellent rope set. Very durable and we'll worth the money. I totally agree with your analysis.
Hi, Great review. I'm female new to crossrope. I need to put a knot in as I am inbetween sizes. I do have the get lean set. Can I easily put a knot in the 1/2lb robe? As I see you have knots in the 1/4 lb rope. Any help, greatly relieved. Thanks.
Yoni, thanks for your support. There are many who are much, much better than me. I can do online coaching. Send me an email if you're interested, and we can go from there.
Hey me again decided to post my questions based on the videos of ropes I have or are interested in. I have the crossrope get lean set. Had it for over year now but I was wondering if I got the right size. I 'm 5'8 and got the medium like they recommended but sometimes I feel like ordering a larger rope would have given me more flexibility doing crossovers and stuff. It feels like I have to bring my arms in too close when doing crossovers squeezing my chest. I know its not a trick rope but I'm just curious. As for the handles for the get lean set it hate them. the shape is trash to me and just ordered the larger handles as a replacement along with the jump rope to test.
What's good, Lo. I have the old Get Lean handles. My biggest issue with them is that they slip when my hands get sweaty. I think that was one performance parameter that Dave Hunt and his team sought to improve in the 2020 Get Lean handles. I haven't tried the 2020 Get Lean handles, but I do have the new Speed LE handles and the new WODPrep handles. They're far superior to the old Get Lean handles in virtually every performance metric, particularly sweat resistance. You probably should've gone with a size larger. I've found that with jump ropes and Crossrope specifically, it's better to err on the side of caution and go a size up unless your height falls at the bottom of their measurement thresholds. You can always tie knots. Stay up and keep getting after it.
Does the price of the Crossrope Get Lean set vary in the US and EU? When I check from EU it says it costs $120 whereas most of the reviewers say it costs $80 or $88. Or is the difference in price due to the different 2019 and 2020 handles?
Nitish, good question. I'm not sure. I think that the price is the same everywhere. Right now, it's going for $99 USD on Crossrope's website. Anyone who purchased it cheaper than that likely used a coupon code. I hope that helps!
@@JumpRopeVeteran Thanks for your response! It costs $120 on Crossrope's website in the EU. I guess the increase in price is because they are shipped from Ireland and not the US.
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks bro. One thing for sure, when you jump with the cross rope set then switch to a regular rope, jumping with a regular rope becomes so much easier.
Ugh, I got mine last week and it’s just not working for me. I love the style but I feel like it’s too short for my DUs. I bought the medium size and I’m 5’9... it feels too small. How tall are you?
Oh no! Did you get a medium rope? This is a common problem that I failed to mention during the review. A lot of people whose height places them at the edge of Crossrope's sizing charts end up getting a rope that's too small for them. Since you're 5'9, you may be right on the edge. I would call Crossrope and see if you can exchange it for a large rope. I'm 5'5. I ordered the medium rope but since my height is on the lower end of the medium rope's sizes, I didn't have a problem. It's always better to err on the side of caution and get a longer rope. You can always tie knots in the rope to shorten its length. A lot of people don't like tying knots in the Crossrope, but I've been doing it since 2018 and it performs wonderfully for me.
Jump Rope Veteran Hi!! Thank you so much for the detailed response. I contacted them and the return is on the way! I’ll let you know how well the larger rope goes! I’m so stoked to get a reply...thanks 🙂
@@JumpRopeVeteran Hey my wife got me the get strong set it comes with the 1lb and 2lb ropes Just getting into it I'm just using the 1lb right now and I'm sore from yesterday
@@JumpRopeVeteran That's what I wanna do is get 2,3,4 and 5 lb. ropes to add with my 1/4 , 1/2, and 1 lb. ropes so I can start my workout routine on a daily basis doing at least 5 min. every day !!!!

Even with a beginner (like myself), you think it would be worth to get a $99 rope?
In my opinion, yes, because there's a 60-day return policy.

Solly, thank you for stopping by! The Get Lean, particularly the 1/4 lb attachment, is good for double unders and double under crossovers. I haven't tried the speed set yet, but I've heard good things. I think that you'll be successful in doing double under variations with either, but you'll be able to move the rope more quickly with the speed set.
Thanks for the reply, I’ve just ordered the Rush Athletics money rope, but will consider the cross rope in the future
@@sollyal-hussaini7212, awesome! Keep getting after it!
Thank you.
Richard, my pleasure.
Hey man! I like your review! My question is, does Get Lean set heavy enough to make the muscles work? Im confused because I really like to work my entire body and improve my athleticism.. Im confused between Get Lean set and Get Strong set and which one best suit my needs.
What's up Anfernee. I haven't heard that name since watching Anfernee Hardaway (the NBA player) when I was a kid. He was awesome. I think that the Get Lean is heavy enough. The 8 oz rope provides a lot of resistance. I'm usually pretty well spent after jumping with it. The 4 oz is no joke either, especially after protracted jumps of over three minutes. I hope that helps!
@@JumpRopeVeteran I greatly appreciate your reply man.. I forgot to tell you that my height is around 5'3.5 to 5'5"(as per my cousin's PME which records his height to be 5'6.5" but we look almost identical in height when not wearing footwear) and I weigh about 125 lbs to 127 lbs as of the moment. Is size small (8ft in length of rope) a suitable size for me? Been confused about this height issue thing and affraid I might purchase a wrong size of rope. Thanks man! More power to you!
@@JumpRopeVeteran Ha! You are right about that, my dad gave me this name because of Anfernee Hardaway 😁
@@anferneeclarkdawal3754, I'm around the same height. I would get a medium Get Lean and tie one knot on each side. Thanks for your support!
@@anferneeclarkdawal3754, that's awesome!
I just got the 2020 get lean set and I find the handles a bit awkward. Got to get use to the handles. Also, I perform better with the 1/2 pound rope over the 1/4 pound rope.
I haven't tried the 2020 set yet. I need to do that.
Yeah brother, I agree with you on the 1/2 rope. I think it's my favorite Crossrope attachment that I've tried so far, although I do enjoy the 1/4 rope.
@@JumpRopeVeteranI originally had the older version but just exchanged for the new one. The handles are a bit shorter and lighter. No complaints, just will take a bit of getting use to. Excellent rope set. Very durable and we'll worth the money. I totally agree with your analysis.
It's most definitely worth the money. My Get Lean Set still works so well that I don't plan on trading it in anytime soon.
Hi,
Great review. I'm female new to crossrope. I need to put a knot in as I am inbetween sizes.
I do have the get lean set.
Can I easily put a knot in the 1/2lb robe?
As I see you have knots in the 1/4 lb rope.
Any help, greatly relieved.
Thanks.
Thank you for watching. Yes, you can put knots in the 1/2 lb. I currently have a knot on each side. JRTF. 👊🏽💪🏽
@@JumpRopeVeteran
Hi, thank you for the helpful reply.
You bet. JRTF. 🙏🏽💪🏽
Your skills are impeccable! I suppose you don't offer online coaching eh? lol
Yoni, thanks for your support. There are many who are much, much better than me. I can do online coaching. Send me an email if you're interested, and we can go from there.
@@JumpRopeVeteran You’re being modest. lol I know raw talent/skill when I see it. I will email you for sure, and thanks for responding.
Yoni, that sounds good. Thanks. 💪🏾
Hey me again decided to post my questions based on the videos of ropes I have or are interested in. I have the crossrope get lean set. Had it for over year now but I was wondering if I got the right size. I 'm 5'8 and got the medium like they recommended but sometimes I feel like ordering a larger rope would have given me more flexibility doing crossovers and stuff. It feels like I have to bring my arms in too close when doing crossovers squeezing my chest. I know its not a trick rope but I'm just curious.
As for the handles for the get lean set it hate them. the shape is trash to me and just ordered the larger handles as a replacement along with the jump rope to test.
What's good, Lo. I have the old Get Lean handles. My biggest issue with them is that they slip when my hands get sweaty. I think that was one performance parameter that Dave Hunt and his team sought to improve in the 2020 Get Lean handles. I haven't tried the 2020 Get Lean handles, but I do have the new Speed LE handles and the new WODPrep handles. They're far superior to the old Get Lean handles in virtually every performance metric, particularly sweat resistance.
You probably should've gone with a size larger. I've found that with jump ropes and Crossrope specifically, it's better to err on the side of caution and go a size up unless your height falls at the bottom of their measurement thresholds. You can always tie knots. Stay up and keep getting after it.
do you know if 3oz is equivalent to the 5mm rope?
Mateen, good question. I'm not sure because the rope could vary in material i.e. metal or PVC. JRTF. 💪🏾🔥
Which heavy jump rope is best
Hi Azmath. I like Crossrope and RXSG for weighted ropes. JRTF. 💪🏽🙏🏽
Does the price of the Crossrope Get Lean set vary in the US and EU? When I check from EU it says it costs $120 whereas most of the reviewers say it costs $80 or $88. Or is the difference in price due to the different 2019 and 2020 handles?
Nitish, good question. I'm not sure. I think that the price is the same everywhere. Right now, it's going for $99 USD on Crossrope's website. Anyone who purchased it cheaper than that likely used a coupon code. I hope that helps!
@@JumpRopeVeteran Thanks for your response! It costs $120 on Crossrope's website in the EU. I guess the increase in price is because they are shipped from Ireland and not the US.
Yeah it must be different. I can't access their website from the EU side. Either way, it's worth it in my opinion! It's a great jump rope set.
@@JumpRopeVeteran Thank you! :)
You're welcome!
If possible, can you give some recomendations on long handle freestyle ropes of your choice? Thx!
Brother, that will be my next review. I need to do a video about the differences between short and long handle ropes as well!
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks bro. One thing for sure, when you jump with the cross rope set then switch to a regular rope, jumping with a regular rope becomes so much easier.
@@pjmarc1, you're right. Crossrope is a good brand. I've had mine for a year and a half and I have few complaints.
@@JumpRopeVeteran thanks for the great review. 👍
@@pjmarc1, no problem my man. I'm here to serve.
Ugh, I got mine last week and it’s just not working for me. I love the style but I feel like it’s too short for my DUs. I bought the medium size and I’m 5’9... it feels too small. How tall are you?
Oh no! Did you get a medium rope? This is a common problem that I failed to mention during the review. A lot of people whose height places them at the edge of Crossrope's sizing charts end up getting a rope that's too small for them.
Since you're 5'9, you may be right on the edge. I would call Crossrope and see if you can exchange it for a large rope.
I'm 5'5. I ordered the medium rope but since my height is on the lower end of the medium rope's sizes, I didn't have a problem.
It's always better to err on the side of caution and get a longer rope. You can always tie knots in the rope to shorten its length. A lot of people don't like tying knots in the Crossrope, but I've been doing it since 2018 and it performs wonderfully for me.
Jump Rope Veteran Hi!! Thank you so much for the detailed response. I contacted them and the return is on the way! I’ll let you know how well the larger rope goes! I’m so stoked to get a reply...thanks 🙂
@@melisestall5090, you're welcome! I'm glad they accepted your return. Keep getting after it!
Yeah I went by they're sizing chart for I,m 5ft 9in so I ordered the large in any of the ropes that I get !!
@@jeffreyelliott622 It's a good strategy. Better to have a longer rope and tie knots than a shorter rope that you have to send back.
Is that background Louisiana
Hey William! My Aunt painted that picture. I'm not sure where the inspiration came from. I'll ask her next time I talk to her.
@@JumpRopeVeteran
Lol hey there I meant when you were outside jumping it kinda looks like old Louisiana to me
;)
@@LaundryChuteLLC, ah my fault haha. No, it's Virginia but I can see a resemblance to Louisiana. I was there a few years ago for some training.
Hey nice hearing from you with all our social distancing these days yeah man in going to give the cross rope a serious try no gyms open :(
I have the heavy set buy buy buy it
Do you have the 4 and 5 LB ropes? I'm thinking of getting them.
@@JumpRopeVeteran
Hey my wife got me the get strong set it comes with the 1lb and 2lb ropes
Just getting into it I'm just using the 1lb right now and I'm sore from yesterday
William, that's great. The Get Strong is tiring. The 2LB gets me every time!
@@JumpRopeVeteran That's what I wanna do is get 2,3,4 and 5 lb. ropes to add with my 1/4 , 1/2, and 1 lb. ropes so I can start my workout routine on a daily basis doing at least 5 min. every day !!!!
@@jeffreyelliott622, sounds like a plan. I'm waiting for.the Ultra Heavy LE to be back in stock.
