The major benefit of training with battle ropes is the application of upper body power, combined with endurance. The rope is wrapped around an anchor point, and you hold it at the very end of the ropes length. By implementing a whipping or circular motion with your arms, you create whats called a “wave”, which requires a huge metabolic demand to maintain in the rope. Power endurance is an extremely demanding task on the body. It is essentially the ability to apply maximal force, at maximal speed, for a maximal amount of time. This requires a huge demand on the energy systems in the body, burning a huge amount of calories and improving strength and fitness.
