Battling Ropes Alternating Waves with Kneeling Get-Up
Alternating rope waves kept going while the body lowers to one knee and stands back up; the arms never stop as the legs change level.
How to do it
Setup
Half squat facing the anchor, a rope end in each hand, the ropes with a little slack.
Steps
- Drive alternating waves, one arm up as the other goes down.
- Step one foot back and lower that knee to the floor without breaking the waves.
- Stand back up through the front foot, arms still waving; repeat.
Common mistakes
Waves stalling during the get-up: the arms keep the rhythm while the legs move. Knee dropping hard onto the floor: lower it under control. Leaning on the ropes to stand: the legs stand you up; the ropes keep waving.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
