Battling Ropes Split Jump
Keep the waves running while jumping from one lunge into the other; the jumping lunges add the legs and a landing to the arms' work.
How to do it
Setup
In a lunge facing the anchor, a rope end in each hand, back knee hovering, chest up.
Steps
- Start the waves, then jump and switch the legs in the air.
- Land softly in the opposite lunge, front knee over the toes.
- Keep the waves going through every jump.
Common mistakes
Landing hard on a straight front leg: land soft with the knee bent over the toes. Back knee slamming the floor: it stops just above. Waves stopping for the jump: the arms never pause.
Breathing
Exhale on every jump; keep the rhythm.
