Battling Ropes Half-Kneeling
Rope waves from a half-kneeling stance; with the legs out of the drive, the shoulders and trunk make every wave.
How to do it
Setup
Half-kneeling facing the anchor, front shin vertical, a rope end in each hand, trunk upright.
Steps
- Drive quick waves with both arms, together or in turn.
- Keep the torso tall and still over the kneeling hip.
- Switch the front leg between rounds.
Common mistakes
Rocking the torso to make the waves: the shoulders work, the trunk stays still. Kneeling on a bare hard floor: pad the knee. Waves dying before the anchor: smaller and faster beats slow and big.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
