Battling ropesBattling ropes at an outdoor gym in Sweden
Battling ropes (also known as battle ropes or heavy ropes) are used for fitness training to increase full body strength and conditioning.[1] They were designed by John Brookfield in 2006, who developed the system around his backyard.[1][2] The battling rope can be alternatively used as a resistance training technique. After its development, John taught the system to Special Forces, the Cincinnati Bengals,[3] and the Olympic wrestling team.[2] Since then, the training system has increased in popularity and has expanded to mainstream gyms.[4]
Battling ropes have numerous advantages including the fact they are easy to use, and increase power output.[5] With one battle rope per upper extremity, they also work out each arm independently, overcoming strength imbalances.[6] It also reduces orthopedic load on joints.[3]
Battling ropes are thick, heavy and strong in order to give significant resistance,[1][4] and there are numerous types of ropes used.[1][6] The ropes typically have two common diameters (25 mm and 44 mm) and common standard lengths (5 m, 10 m, and 25 m).[1] Some battle ropes now have a flexible metal core, making them heavier, shorter and allowing the user to move during training without being restricted by an anchor point.[7]
