THICK ROPE TRAINING
When you think of old school strength, you think of the strongmen of old. Dudes like Cyr, Sandow, Saxon, Inch, Hackenschmidt, Klein, Aston and Arco, just to name a few.

These guys trained with basic, compound movements and use very simple equipment like dumbbells, kettlebells, barbells and thick rope - yet were some of the strongest men who ever lived. A lot of their feats are still unmatched today.

Benefits of Thick Rope Training: * grip strength - dynamic crush / dynamic pinch (dependent upon thickness of rope); dynamic wrist postures * intermuscular coordination - summation of tensions through the coordinated engagement of multiple muscle groups (prime movers, synergists, secondary movers, etc.) simultaneously * mental toughness - rope training is NOT easy, it is not a quick fix, it is a bust ass, relentless training means that most forgo * massive core strength - rope training can be done in a L-sit position, with knees tucked or while holding various odd objects in guard * high work capacity - because rope training utilizes the entire body, a high level of work capacity and muscular endurance is developed
