the weighted rope(not the handles) that i have weighs 2lbs and generates up to 40lbs of force hitting the shoulders arms legs calves and the core as well. before i got hurt, i was skipping rope daily often 15min speed rope, 15min 2lbs rope and then walked 4 miles a day. only that i couldnt run like i used to so the
rope is easier.
also there are 3 and 4 pound weighted rope that you can find online by google āweighted ropeā
you wont be disapointed.

Hey BB, I imagine you are a 250+ lb guy? Do you jump rope? Did you read what Dan John wrote about big guys jumping rope ā essentially that we should not? What do you think about that?

Yeah,Iām 300lbsā¦I jump rope because itās essential to my sport. I have no problems doing soā¦no joint/back issues whatsoever. Granted,I never jump rope on concrete/pavement. I always jump rope on mats at our gym and barefoot. Proper technique actually takes a lot of stress of your joints. I cringe when I see guys jumping rope flat-footed and trying to jump as high as possible with each rotation.
Is Dan Johnās reason related to the wear and tear on joints??

I think that is what he was getting at.
I have seen no problems either and I have been doing it pretty steady now for almost a year (no more than a 2 - 3 times per week ) ā granted I donāt do marathon sessions and I try and change up my work/rest ratio and the skills I incorporate as well. I also back off every couple of weeks and do some other HIIT type activity for a break.
But for my time nothing else has given me the results like I have seen from jumping rope ā cardio conditioning and fat loss. This has been the greatest $10 investment I have ever made to my health.
Also, I only jump on a wood surface and wear my track shoes.

āYou have to ask yourself, as I move up in weight, how much pounding can I take? But youāre only going to answer that question incorrectly. The only correct answer is, āI did too much when I had to get that surgery.ā And you just donāt recover from that. Thatās why big guys shouldnāt jump rope.ā

Hmmā¦I really canāt get too much out what he said. Seems as if heās addressing guys who are gaining weight and not giving their bodies time to adjust and/or doing too much in the process. I donāt know. No way I tell Shane Carwin and Brockā¦or even Pudz not to skip ropeā¦lol.

No doubt!
How do you incorporate the rope into your training sessions? Do you use it as a standalone session or do you use it in conjunction with circuits, for example?
Just trying to get some ideas to change up my routine. Usually, I had been doing it at the end of a weight training session for 10 - 20 minutes but in the last few weeks I actually started using it between sets on some days to improve my work capacity. Not sure how effective it is going to be though.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Doing the skipping during rest periods sounds fineā¦I think it will help depending on how you are lifting.
I jump rope 10min straight everyday as a warm-up. Usually,two sessions out of the week I incorporate 30 sec. jump rope āsprintsā in with circuits. Say I have a circuit with KB swingsā¦30 secs. ropeā¦inverted rowsā¦30 secs ropeā¦jump squatsā¦30 secs ropeā¦etc.
Or I will have a simple circuit of actually jumping rope at steady pace(not āsprintingā) for 1 minā¦then do KB swings for 30 secsā¦repeat immediately,then rest for 30 secs. Almost simulating 3-5,3min rounds. These two methods I do commonā¦but I sometimes mix it up and get creative.
As of nowā¦I will be skipping lots of rope and shadowboxing. I have a recent health issue that is going to keep me from doing lots of stuff for a while,so the jump rope will be my best friend during this period.
