These ultra heavy ropes are Crazy! I was honestly surprised I got a double with the 5 lber. If these ropes are more than you need, check out the regular Crossrope Set here: th-cam.com/video/Qkrr6-3cUB8/w-d-xo.html or they are linked above.
I am reading that these ropes geting old with time. I wouldn't prefer that any rope that I pay that much money geting old or crank with time. What do you think, are they durable and for long time usage?
What is a long time to you? From my personal experience they are incredibly durable for the use I put on them. My current handles that I use are over a year old and still like new and my 1/4 lb rope, which I use the most, has a crack in the pvc but still going strong. I have had to replace it on average around a year, but this one is lasting about a year and a half so far because I've been jumping on a mat more.
How do you get better with these ropes? I can do alternate foot up to the 3 lb rope, but definitely only a basic jump with these. As I fatigue I start to do horrible form jump rope rows bc it’s just so painful I lose grip. Hoping it gets better with time, or maybe I need to weight lift to get strength for these
The more you jump with them the better you get. I need to do a heavy jump rope technique tutorial and cover some tips. -Keep your lats and arms engaged -Power comes in the down stroke -Build stamina of max effort (60 sec max singles) 🤜🤙
DU w/4 & 5? Damn! Do u not like the crossrope LE mat? Saw it briefly in this video but not others or most recent. Have 2 speed pro ropes so need a good mat. Would like the CR LE mat but can’t swing that price right now. Just seeing if It’s Worth saving up for or just get cheap one on amazon? Don’t have any good outdoor surfaces to jump on near me. Thx
Sorry for the late response. I like the le mat. It's great for portability. I use my gorilla mat more because I enjoy the size because I like to move around when I jump. So it depends on your style. If you mostly stay in one spot (like most) then the LE mat will be great.
I have. I like the power handles better with the 1 lb rope due to the weight of the ultra heavy handles. I can feel the rope better. But they work great with the 2 and 3 lb ropes.
Thank you for an awesome video review, brave fellow! My wrists hurt just watching you. It's funny that just was I was saying to myself "He's going to hit his fool head", you brought up the topic! Keep posting jump rope videos, they're always excellent.
I got the 3lb and 5lb Crossropes today, 4lb tomorrow. The 3lb was great! Upgrade from a 3lb battle rope style so way easier. The 5lb...1 jump at a time only! Couldn't get the timing and didn't wanna hurt myself. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the 4lb. The 2lb is really fun! I'm new to jumping; week 2. Not new to fitness, I hike and ruck here in the mountains. Gonna go very slowly with that 5lb. I'm 62.
@@Jump15official I live where I can see the Appalachian Trail from my front porch. I'm surrounded by other trails such as the Bartram Trail and I often hike on private properties here in the mountains, west of Asheville. I have a place in the mountains of PA also where I spend time and hike. I use weighted vests of late to get more out of a 2 hour hike. Got that 4lb Crossrope in and I can skip with It! So I can build up to the 5lb. Mostly got it because it was 20% off on clearance. It's easy to use the 1, 2 and 3 lb ropes every day, as well as the 1/2lb and 1/4lb. I do take a day off. Just started week 3. Used the heavy ropes yesterday so today instead of pushing myself I'm going to try to get beyond the basic bounce and get some beginner steps down. Yesterday was HIIT with light ropes too. I'm not in a hurry. No debilitating soreness allowed. So far recovery has been great!
@@delphinekirkland1757 Nice, sounds like a beautiful area. Try descending latter work with the heavy ropes. 4, 3, 2, 1 for 30 seconds each. Take a couple minute rest and repeat. Do 3-4 rounds. It will push your stamina and power of moving those ropes. As your stamina and strength builds add more rounds or more time👍
@@Jump15officialThanks! I will! I was ascending; warming up with the light ropes, mixing it up, then on to the heavy ropes, then back down to lightest rope for speed. I'm excited to get to boxer steps and sequences. I'm a jazz, blues and soul performer; I end up dancing and singing for up to 3 hours. Haha, I have great stamina and moves but I want to use jump rope to prepare for more dance and martial arts. Also, more stamina for river rafting and more difficult, long hikes.
I bought these when they first came out awhile back and I feel they are only fun to bring out every now and then cuz i feel overtime this could possibly cause some wrist issues with this kind of weight.
I originally had a similar thought, but I honestly didn't feel they added much stress to the wrists vs the 3 lb rope. Like with anything new, start slow and listen to your body. It will be interesting to see how it feels the more I do it.
Nice review 👍🏻 I ordered mine on Friday can’t wait to try them out. Double unders with these beasts is on another level! What in your opinion is the main benefit of these? I can imagine once you conquer these when you use the 1/4 pound rope it will be like jumping with nothing at all! Keep up the good work!
The main benefit to any heavier rope is increased upper body engagement. This taxes the cardiovascular system faster as well as forces you into better stabilization from the pull of the rope. This will make you stronger in the jumping motion helping you maintain better form and technique and build endurance with higher energy output.
*technically* they are, same clip system. but the ultra heavy LE handles are weighted, and for these higher weights it really helps to have a little handle weight to counter balance the rope. if you're interested in the 4/5 lbs ropes I would recommend getting the set with the Ultra Heavy handles
Yours videos are great and super informative! I was wondering if you have made any videos about different types of surfaces to jump on, their benefits and differences? If not could you make one? Thank you very much in advance :D
I just got my Get Fit 2020 set and found the Strong set is a great start.... will be working up to the higher stuff eventually... the Fit set just wasn't enough weight for a comfortable amount of feedback so guess ill see where I feel in a couple months :D oh yeah PSA: I'm 6'5" and 300 lbs and worked a job dumping boxes (with multiple additional articulations) 1 box per 5 seconds at full speed...
@@Jump15official oh I'm definitely not going to run up at full speed a set per month... I mean.. unless I seriously feel the current sets get to where they feel like nothing....

Your reactions are priceless lol 🤣
I’m over here covering my eyes as if I’m watching a horror flick when you said, “can I do a double under?” I was so scared 😭
😂 it was a little nerve racking on my end as well!😅
I really love weighted handles. Are these handles a choice for people that think that slim handles are way too light for the 1/2 pound rope?
Yes, they are great for all the heavier ropes 👍 Some people even like them better with the 1/4 lb rope. Use what feels better to you.
not a chance you're gonna DU that monster!
EDIT: holy hell dude. impressive af!
I was a bit surprised myself tbh! Haha
What Cross rope set would you recommend for a beginner? I am definitely looking to get one for me.

have you tried 1lb and 2 lb rope with the ultra heavy handle？The handle just look much better than the power handle

Would you go longer on these than what you usually use? I'm 5'8, but use the 8ft ropes. debating on purchasing the 8 vs the 8.5
I would stick with what you typically use. I use the 8' thru every weight.
@@Jump15official awesome, thanks for the response. subbed

You are too kind brotha! Much appreciated!
I barely use the 2lb one because how heavy it is for me and this is x2 or more than this. That's ridiculously heavy for ropes 😅
It takes time to build up to the heavy ropes (over 1 lb) and they aren't for everyone.
DU's with the 5 lb :-0
I was honestly shocked I got one! A little practice and we'll see if I can get a few
que pasado de v3rgaaaaaaaaa!
Too havy for jump? My good
These ropes are definitely.not for everyone! Haha
