Jump Rope Training - Handle Modification

[mfrowley]

Hi Ross! I've been training with a rope for a few years now and have nailed running in place and double unders. I've never understood the last section you demonstrate though, the "freestyle" part starting at 4:52. What are you doing there?

[rossenamait]

@mfrowley - Just having fun with the rope, mixing up a variety of turning styles

I've developed "Tennis Elbow" from Jump Roping. It kinda started out laughable, because Ive never played tennis, but it's become a real nuisance in many other types of exercises and even striking the heavy bag. Has anyone else experienced this?

[paulioj101]

Hey Ross, I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I overcame this by sanding down the ends of the handles to create smooth edges. I found this to be a good modification when both handles were initially intact. Your method would obviously help if one/both handles are damaged. Thanks once again Ross!

[MiChmski]

I like the dedication :)

[pomchujohn]

LoL too good with that rope.

Thanks Ross :)

[sniperboy102]

question on jump roping form, do you keep the handle(on any rope) at a 45 degree angle or parallel to you body ?

[haveyouseenmykeys]

Hi Ross, thank you for your teachings. When choosing a rope, it there a particular length that in best? I am 175cm or 5ft 9inch what length would you suggest?

[rossenamait]

@haveyouseenmykeys - 9 feet should be fine at 5'9" (9 feet is a fairly standard rope length)

Talk about timing, I just recently began to jump rope and love it. This helped a lot thanks

[superfisto]

Love your videos. I'm glad you opened up the comments.

[blurrk9]

Great idea, thanks again.

[jveuduson]

lol @ the slow motion, we still can't see the rope :D

[paulioj101]

Great video Ross, my speed rope snapped on me a week ago just because of the handle. Did you notice any changes in rope speed while using the t-shirt handles??

[rossenamait]

@paulioj101 - No change in speed. This is one of the points I convey in the discussion portion of the video.

[rossenamait]

I meant to say the "summary" portion (right at the end of the vid)...

[jmesa69x]

that freestyle is insane....

[jacks0004]

Another good video as usual Ross, how about a look at your gym in the next one? How did you design, it is it in your garage?

[rossenamait]

@jacks0004 - Thanks for the idea. Yes, it is a garage. I will think about doing something in the future either with a video or pictures via a blog entry.

[TehLightBlinds]

Nice. You should make a ''jump rope mastering tutorial'' video

[rossenamait]

@TehLightBlinds - Perhaps in the future. I have something similar in my Full Throttle Conditioning DVD. The basic rope moves are actually much easier to learn than many realize however. It's really just a matter of practice and consistency.  Practice is the mother of all skills.

[bobingr]

Hey Ross check out Dr. Sara Solomon`s jump rope video. I really enjoy your videos. I love the thought, honesty and discriptions that you put into them. Escepially the descriptions, they help so much. Now i must go buy a jump rope.

Hey Ross, check out Dr. Sara`s Solomon`s jump rope video. I really enjoy your videos, I love the thought , honesty and descriptions that you put into them. I must now go buy a jomp rope.

[zonamarcial]

Thanks for the Info Ross, Sick freestyle!!

[rossenamait]

@zonamarcial - Thanks for the kind words, but these movements are not too difficult to master. Trick work with the rope can get much fancier. I use it more as a conditioning tool however.

[KenMalmstrom]

Spectacular rope work.

[rossenamait]

@KenMalmstrom - Thanks!

[jjaycallejas]

nice mod. ill be trying this out. thanks

[KarimBakkali]

Wow. Freestyle was dope, How old are you now Ross? You look as though your in peak shape.

[Ogaru]

@KarimBakkali good question O.O

[rossenamait]

@KarimBakkali - Thanks! I'm 34 years old. Just a regular working dad.
