Heavy Ropes - Popular Exercises

that last thing the sled thingy didnt look very heavy to pull

Not sure of the weight. It's a 50 foot rope and 1.5 inches thick. For waves and slams, my goal is typically metabolic conditioning...therefore, I prefer lighter ropes. Thx

Do you know what your rope weighs? The one at my gym is 90 lbs, I think it's 2 inch thick. I can just about do 1 minute of waves on it before dying. Do you recommend lighter rope for longer supersets or taking more rests with the heavy rope?

@bibo0000 If you hop on my site (dbstrength), you can click on the 'Perform Better' logo on the right-hand side of the home page. Search for "battling ropes" on their site and you'll be good to go. We use 'Perform Better' for the majority of our equipment needs. Hope that helps! Thanks.
