Battling Ropes Seated
Rope waves sitting on the floor with the legs out in front; the trunk has to hold itself up while the arms drive.
How to do it
Setup
Seated on the floor facing the anchor, legs out in front, knees soft, a rope end in each hand, chest tall.
Steps
- Drive quick waves with both arms, together or in turn.
- Keep the chest up and the lower back from rounding.
- Rest between rounds and keep each round short.
Common mistakes
Slumping onto the tailbone: sit tall on the sit bones. Shrugging the shoulders to the ears: shoulders down, arms long. Heels lifting as you tire: keep the legs quiet on the floor.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
