Manila Battling Rope, Capped (50 ft.) & Challenge DVD

Mostly used for outdoor training. All manila ropes are treated with a straight mineral oil petroleum product to stop mold and bugs during shipment & storage. Any odor or oily feeling will dissipate with use. Caps may be used as handles to avoid touching the rope.  Manila ropes do shed during use so we recommend that they be used outside, in a garage, or basement environment. Manila rope is the best rope for use on semi-abrasive surfaces. Using on this type of surface can still cause the rope to fray but it will hold up longer than the poly rope on this type of surface. Grass, dirt, or smooth concrete are the best surfaces to train on (NOT rough concrete or tar like a driveway). End caps are glued & heat shrunk. End caps may also be purchased separately. 

This combo includes one (1) 50 ft. manila Battling Rope® in the size of your choice and John Brookfield's Challenge Level 1 DVD.  

The 1.5” 50 ft. rope is the best rope to start with for general physical preparedness & conditioning.  The benefits of training with this rope are as follows:

1. Increased muscular & strength endurance (work capacity & sustained power/velocity)
2. Increased cardiovascular endurance
3. Great for warm up & cool down
4. Helps remove blood lactate (lactic acid build up)
5. Builds mental toughness
6. Great for core training (when done properly)
7. Trains & balances both sides of the body
8. Can be used for foot work & balance drills (i.e. lunges, Bosu, jumping  jacks, stability discs, etc.)
9. Can be used by beginners, intermediate or advanced by varying rope length or by adding training complexes.
10. Develops basic grip strength
11. Good for rehab or working around an injury
12. Weight loss/fat burning
13. Develops balance & rootedness
14. Can be used for modified partner training (16.5 ft.  ropes are best for this)

The 2” 50 ft. rope is best for specific or specialty physical preparedness and athletic conditioning:

1. Intermediate & advanced or for larger, heavier athletes
2. Power & explosive training (short duration)
3. Extreme mental toughness
4. Great for core training
5. Advanced grip training (grappling or racket sports)
6. Used by NFL and MMA Pro’s.
7. Develops balance & rootedness
8. Develops strength
9. Can be used for Pole Training System (100 ft. rope is best length)

Go beyond the basics and into the advanced with this DVD.  The "Battling Ropes® Challenge" is a dynamic training DVD that shows you a wide variety of exercises in the Battling Rope® Level 1 training.  In John Brookfield's "Introduction to the Battling Ropes® System" he takes you through the basic exercises.  In Level 1 he also demonstrates the basics, but then takes you onto the intermediate exercises and then advanced.

 

This training DVD will ground you and give you more than enough knowlege to prepare you to climb the ladder and into other levels of the system. John shows you exercises in the kneeling and seated positions, as well as demonstrates exercises that actually will double the intensity of your training. The Battling Ropes® Challenge will train you how to sustain higher intensity for longer durations of time. This sustained intensity is the result of the fact that the system demands that you use constant velocity instead of momentum. Approximate running time is 55 minutes.
