Battling Ropes High Waves
Waves thrown high: the hands lift to about head height on each wave, sending tall waves along the ropes.
How to do it
Setup
Athletic stance facing the anchor, knees bent, a rope end in each hand at the hips.
Steps
- Lift the hands to about head height to start a tall wave.
- Drive them back down to the hips, keeping the knees bent.
- Keep the waves tall and steady; log the time.
Common mistakes
Standing up straight as the arms rise: stay low in the knees. Arms rising only to the chest: the high reach is the variant. Leaning back against the ropes: stay over the feet, chest tall.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
