About Using Climbing Ropes in Bodyweight Exercises

The use of climbing ropes is a great help in bodyweight training. By using climbing ropes, you can strengthen your complete body.

Some bodyweight movements will concentrate on select groups of muscles during a particular repetition.

Then once that series of repetitions are over, the person moves on to the next group. Not only is that time consuming, but it's also not the best way to get a complete body workout.

Climbing ropes builds muscle and they also build strength. But on top of that, the exercises that you can do with a climbing rope also teach users agility and flexibility.

When you're performing exercises with a climbing rope, you can do a variety of movements. You can do lifts as well as pulling or pushing style exercises.

Not only will you use your upper body muscles, such as your triceps and biceps, but you'll also use your leg muscles as well.

Your abdominal muscles and back muscles will also get a workout.

Some people also choose to wear a weight vest when climbing - to add additional resistance and increase the benefits of rope climbing exercises.

You can build your upper body strength quickly with regular rope climbing workouts.

Make sure that you pay attention to the working load specifications of the various ropes you can buy.

These specifications will tell you how strong the rope is as long as it doesn't have any breaks in the rope and it's a new rope.

Older ropes can wear out with slippage between the sheath and core components.

You'll want to get a tough rope like the Sterling Rope Evolution Duetto Dry Rope that can be used indoors or outdoors.

This is a lightweight rope that's strong enough to withstand rock climbing - even in adverse weather conditions.

It can handle the pull and stretch ropes get when they're used across rocks.

Using ropes with your workout isn't expensive, either.

You can even use a utility rope like the Rothco General
Purpose Utility Rope, which can also handle indoor or outdoor climbing.

This model is 100 feet long and if you look at the tensile strength of this rope, it can withstand 1,200 pounds of pressure per square inch, which means it would be a good rope for using with a workout.

The Sterling Rope Fusion Nano Dry Rope is also good for bodyweight training. It's a lightweight rope that makes a good workout rope. It has Dry Sheath and DryCore.

It's a good rope for beginners to use, but also for those with more experience using ropes for bodyweight training. Once you've used your rope, you'll need to check it before exercising or climbing with it for any signs of abrasions.
