Cirques are an advanced element should not be performed until you have already mastered basic rope climbs. However once you are sufficiently prepared they are an excellent exercise. My own advanced athletes perform these twice a week.
i can do this! practise your 1 arm negatives on the bar first though lol. cambium friction saver for easy outside rope set up unless you can get to a gymnasium of course
Coach, I linked to this vid in the Ross Training S&C section. I'd love you to go (or here) and weigh in on your opinion regarding very slow eccentric movements and your opinion on their usage. I am looking for fight specific purposes but really just curious on your opinion in general.
love this exercise. some days, instead of doing my regular routine of front- and back levers, iron cross etc, i just do rope climbs with weight attached. there are many good exercises out there, but this one is my favorite
fucking amazing no comment to all ure videos just amazing im jealous my dream is to become like this, but if they can do it so can i and so can anyone it just takes detication and determination.
Generally I have my athletes use a 1.5" diameter rope. Climbing ropes are widely available through a variety of sources on the internet, you should have no problems finding one that you are happy with.
if your fat or skinny dont matter if you train gymnastics long anoth you will be big in the upper body but also cut because its very cardio like with rockclimbing so if your fat you will loose the the excess weight build muscle and also start to become cut so fat or skinny makes no differnce a skinny person could be weak and a fat person been carrying round all the wieght so there strong and when they loose wieght it be be more of an advantage to them ")
Clearly heavier people are at a disadvantage in gymnastics. The more you weigh the more weight you have to be able to move. Because of this you won't find any huge people at high levels of the sport.
im just curious, what about gymnastics training makes the athletes so tiny? or does the relationship work in the other direction(small people do gymnastics, rather than gymnastics creating small people). i cant think of any other sport other than jockeying where the elite athletes end up so small.
Since almost all of their work is high repetition body weight exercises, they make great gains in strength and active muscle fiber without big gains in mass. Most weight training you see focuses on hypertrophy, with reps between 6-12, which increases the muscle size.
Similar to Bull-Riding...bullriders tend to be small wiry tough (and brave) guys, a big huge fellow will have more leverage exerted against him during the bull's moves. So big guys tend not to want to do that, nor do they tend to be competitive in bullriding from what I see.
Hammerthrow is a sport where big huge muscles and bodymass seems to be an advantage. Your own weight can counteract the weight of the hammer allowing a heavy person more velocity to the hammer (with training and skill).
Gymnastics involves a lot balance oriented exercises, so it's easier so a shorter person to execute them at an expert level, taller people just get outdone by there competitors and so you don't see them at expert levels.
I have heard repeatidly that over exercising at a young age (like gymnasts do) stunts growth by diverting resources from groth to body density. I'm not a scientist but it does check out with all people I know who have praticed gymnastics, they are all under average height.
Are you saying that in reference to yourself or someone you know because frankly, you don't speak for all tall people,especially not for me who is six feet four, 200 lbs, and does gymnastics.
Hey coach, how stressful is this on the elbows? How often could you do an exercise liek this while keeping your elbows healthy and uninflamed

Coach,
Where can I get a rope? I am going to assume from Home Depot or Lowes?
And what is the best diameter to get? What diameter do you usewith your athletes?

Coachg,
Can you recommend a good website to get one? Or should I just go to home Depot or Lowes and try and rig something up?
Thanks

@YasFukuda True, unless you break a growth plate strength training is very beneficial

Yeah but if heavier people workout the best they can, they can reach levels that they never would have reached.

Gymnastics training does not make athletes small any more than basketball training makes athletes tall.
The certain body types becoming predominant in certain sports is a result of natural and sporting selection.
