Kneeling Battling Ropes
Alternating rope waves from tall kneeling; with the legs taken out, the arms and the trunk do all the work.
How to do it
Setup
Tall kneeling on a mat facing the anchor, a rope end in each hand, trunk braced.
Steps
- Drive alternating waves, one arm up as the other goes down.
- Keep the hips pushed forward and the torso still.
- Work in short hard intervals and rest between them.
Common mistakes
Sitting back onto the heels: keep the hips over the knees. Waves dying halfway to the anchor: bigger arm drive. Rocking the torso with each wave: brace and keep it still.
Breathing
Rhythmic with the waves; recover in the rests.
