Battling Ropes Alternate Arms Jump Squat
Alternating waves with the ropes while dropping into a squat and jumping out of it; the arms keep the waves going through the jump and the landing.
How to do it
Setup
Facing the anchor, a rope end in each hand, feet shoulder-width, in a half squat.
Steps
- Make alternating waves, one arm up as the other drives down.
- Jump up out of the squat without stopping the waves.
- Land softly back in the squat and keep going; log the time.
Common mistakes
Waves dying during the jump: keep the arms working in the air. Landing on straight legs: sink back into the squat softly. Knees caving on the landing: track them over the toes.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
