Battle Ropes

Here's a quick overview of the infamous battle ropes.

Battle Ropes have been around seemingly forever and have been used to pull giant piles of brick, lever sails on ships and much more.  Simply picking up the rope and throwing it down is enough if you're trying to figure it out.  Once you get the grasp of it you can try this workout I found on youtube below. It can be used for power, strength, speed and endurance work.  What matters in the workout below is the intensity and time in each movement and total time of the workout.  Remember that when designing your own workout!
