Training with battle ropes is the perfect combination for any athlete. You get a blend of explosive total body movements with cardio conditioning. This leads to a super fat burning effect and it's also super fun... not boring like a lot of traditional cardio equipment.
So if you're a beginner and looking for something new, give the battle rope a go! Start with basic double and alternating whips or even some one arm whips. Do sets for time or for reps, whatever works for you.

I used battle ropes for the first time tonight... I felt like a fool and I am so weak, lol. But it has also struck a flame in me, I've got to get better!
That's the spirit!
@Ben S 🤣
There’s no shame in that at all. A lot of people forget you have to start someone, but you took a step others havent
Just went thru the same thing
I tried mine today only managed 10x but I'm so proud I managed it and will keep it up each day to higher my count.
Been going to the gym for 2 years (I'm 18) and today was the first day I used these... It was amazing! Never felt a burn like that.
You gotta feel the burn 🔥
Oh it’s special isn’t it.
@@_Pauper_ wow made me feel old! 4 years gone already haha feel I'm a completely diff person
@@mohsin7702 well man those are a very transformative 4 years! Trust me it gets way f*ing stranger
First day of battle roping today. Could not last a full minute in a set. Extremely motivated to knock it out of the park tomorrow. Let's build this shit up.
Let's GO!
Thank you for this. I just joined a gym and feel a little intimidated asking anyone there for help. So I really needed this.
You're welcome, Launa! Check out our channel for tons of great videos that can help you out and suggest techniques for you 👍
Lmao are you an idiot or something?
Lmao what an idiot

I usually finish my “Push” workout with 3 sets of battleropes. 1 min a set. Such a satisfying burn and it always feels like an accomplishment.
I started battle ropes for the first time. I felt like such a novice but it took me a few weeks to work up the courage and I finally did it! My favorite workout I’ve ever done. I just need to learn how to do it right
Awesome!! You may want to check out our new video about how to begin skipping rope and go from a beginner to amateur boxer status: ua-cam.com/video/LJQpPJ73KD8/v-deo.html
Great video, I'm going to incorporate Battle Ropes into my workout and this is a great beginner routine to work with.
This was plain, crisp and to the point, Loved it, Thank you Coach :)
You're so welcome!
Thanks for the functional and sensible battlerope introduction.
I've always wanted to try out battle ropes. Many thanks for the tips. Bonus points to coach Chris for his Autobot shirt. Transform and roll out.
This was a great informative video, thanks for sharing. I want to start using battle ropes but was at a loss of how and what to do. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
Thank you guys for the simple examples of starting up on this routine of workout. Can't wait to try this now!
We also can't wait for you to try it, Eric!
Awesome. Thanks for the free tips! Really cool you guys post this information especially for free. 👊
You're very welcome! For sure man...we are a content machine here at Critical Bench and we love to educate, inform and motivate. Thanks for watching! CC
Took the wind out of me but I'm super motivated to get back in shape. This is the first video I came across when I searched, thank you!
You got this!
Now i'm EXCITED for My next work-out! TY!!!!!!! You GUYS Rock, Get Informative video, Appreciate it!!!!!!
That's the spirit, Antonio 👊
My job of the last 5 years, was very sedentary. I've put on 30 lbs. since I started, and I was probably 30 lbs too heavy when I began the job. I just quit my job, and the battle rope is one of the things I purchased to help me back into fitness. I was a fitness instructor for 20 years....I am pushing 64...but I will get into shape again. On my way for my first attempt at the rope! Thanks for the information!!
This helped me do 500 this morning in the gym! Thank you!
Great job! 👊
This was an intense workout. Thank you for the video.
You're welcome!
I have had my battle ropes just under year, your instruction nailed it for me. I appreciate the guidance on reps/sets, the videos I found just dive into the workouts little or no explanation. Thanks Coach, keeping the workouts coming.
You’re welcome!
Glad it helped!
I'm just starting the heavy ropes so Thank you ❤
You guys make it look so easy! I’m just starting thanks for info
You can do it!
I’m battle roping 1st of October and I need this. Thank you! 🙏
You're so welcome!
I really like working with the Battle ropes!👍🏾🙂
So do we!
Love it. Great tips and video, thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this. I've just bought these and thought it would be easy. Holy moly it's tough! Thank you for sharing this. Appreciated.
Glad it was helpful! Stay well 🙏
I’m going to use the battle rope at the gym today thanks.💪🏽👍🏽
Perfect! Let us know how that went ... YOU GOT THIS 🙌🏻
i’m a 15 year old girl and always incorporate the ropes into my workout! so much harder than they look. my personal trainer never mentioned doing a single whip with 2 hands!! great idea thankyou! usually do 10/12 reps as much as I can. I struggle with keeping the momentum of the rope as in the wave doesn’t usually go all the way to the end. any tips?
Maybe try pulling the rope higher or adjusting the amount of slack in the rope to where its laying. Try that or just keep doing what you're doing until you have the right amount endurance and/or strength to fluidly keep the momentum :D
A friend of mine gave me an advice to watch another video, and then I bump into this video from your channel, . It gave me a lot of advice, especially for my 205 centimeters in length, and I just wanted to say thank you for a well-made and well-thought-out video. Love from Sweden and the city of Örebro.
That’s fantastic! It’s great to hear and the owner of CriticalBench is Swedish and will absolutely love this message. Love from Florida!
@@Criticalbench Please: Let the owner know as well :) :)
Great video ! What length of battle rope do you guys recommend for beginners to purchase ?
Thanx a bunch I’ll be trying these excersise I’m a beginner awesome video
Yay! We can't wait for you to try it!
I did battle ropes for the first time today and I’m amazed at how much I sweat from it vs. lifting weights.
Right?!?!?
Thanks for that single hand exercise. I struggled to complete 10 whip😆🤦
You can do it!
Can't wait to try out the battle rope at my gym today!
Let us know how that goes!
Just what I needed thank you!
You're welcome
I'm about to add some to my gym.
Do you recommend a weight or length? My gym is outdoors so the ends may not need to be attached.
Thanks!
Nice video!
Legit just did this for the first time. It has definitely motivated me
Awesome’
Very helpful, thank you so much
You're welcome. So glad you found this helpful.
never used battle ropes, just bought a 40'-1"1/2 rope and can't wait for it to arrive in the mail. 💪
Hope you enjoy it!
Got my ropes today can't wait to use it going g to be the first time let's get this work done 💪
Hope you like it!
I did this workout myself and I thought it’s not that hard. After watching this video, I already see a massive change. The workout is way more intense when done the correct way. I need to practice more!
You got this!
Thanks for the video will try that next time i go to gym
Please do!

Beginner here ..Thanks for video...👍
You're welcome! 😊
Wow,, I used the same way at gym battle ropes, was fun
Thanks, guys.
You’re welcome ☺️
thank you!
Thank you
Great instructions
Thank you! 😎
Thanks 🙏🏼
I work my biceps triceps chest and shoulders 3 times a week as well as running twice a week....how would i incorporate a battle rope into my workout without sacrificing resting my muscles?
Good video. Been going to the gym only for a month and one week,but going 5 times a week. At the end of my workout i do 3 sets of 30 seconds.Last 2 days or so i get a little less winder than before so i guess i getting in better shape hehe. Well thanks for the video,paid extra attention to the stance so i know i am doing it correctly.
Keep it up! 💪
I have a 2in 40Ft beastly rope coming in two days!
Great tips shall try tips on my next visit 2 gym
GREAT!
I've been looking for more things to work into my routine and I think I've found it. What would you say is the hardest thing for a beginner such as myself? Also great video!
Thank you. That question is wide open. The hardest thing for beginners is realizing that it takes TIME to make measurable progress....and next would be consistency. Once you get that over time with enough reps things will get easier, that would be the #1 hurdle/obstacle in my opinion. Hard work in the gym is something everyone isn't willing to do. CC
Battle ropes are my brussel sprouts…I know they’re good for me but loathe them. Hoping maybe this video will give me the knowledge and confidence to try them again (going to try the single whip as I have zero upper body strength) without feeling like my arms are dissolving in acid. 😅
Give it a shot!
How do you rep this? Do you go by a timer or do you count whips? I've literally never used battle ropes and have always wanted to, but I want a plan going into it. Is 30 seconds a good starting point?
Yes
I suck at this thanks so much
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Cool board shorts
I saw celebrities doing this battle rope thing whenever the news says that the actor/actress is preparing for a role for an action-packed series.
My partner have those at home as well and heck I find it darn heavy for me. I am not even flicking those yet just like in this video - just transferred it somewhere else whenever I clean his room 🤣
Battle ropes are tough and fun!
I'm thinking of buying this for myself.
Battle ropes are a very wise investment....awesome conditioning and strength tool. CC
Criticalbench thanks for the reply man, I bought it today and can't wait to use tomorrow morning
@@Criticalbench please, could you recommend us a size of the rope that could suit us? Thanks a lot
Very cool
Thanks
I used my battle ropes for the first time today. Duuuuuuudddddddeeeeeeeede
I’ll feel it tomorrow
Awesome!!
Helpful 🤗
We’re glad to hear that you find this is helpful.
I did the ropes today couldn’t get a full ripple effect in 😬
which brand is this battle rope
I used the for the first time yesterday, I knew I was doing something wrong. I forgot the athletic stance. Well now I know lol
Glad we could help you out!! 😁💪🏻
Are there different sizes (weight wise) of ropes? If so which is best for beginners?
I RECENTLY PURCHASED MY ROPE EAGER TO START MY WORKOUTS AND LEARN
💪
Plz mention the time to do the battle rope exercise and the rest periods between the variations if one is doing HIIT.
I've been doing 30 (x3) seconds of single alternating whips, and 15 seconds of slams. (X2)
Would those be the 1.5” or 2” ropes?
Now when I try this, the ropes just flop around and tangle. How can do this as fluid as seen in the video?
Take your time!👍🏾Starting off with #10 mins.for bout two wks. #15-20 reps. Get your proper stand,rest a minute or two between rep's.Be consistent too #2-3 times per.wk.(Upper body strength,neck n arm strength)🖐🏾👍🏾😍
I tried battle ropes for the first time, in a gym full of dudes, i went with my friend, wanted to train well and try the ropes for the first time, wow oh boy, was I humbled. The coach who was training my friend wanted to see whether i knew how to use them so he just handed it to me when i asked if i could try em, i've just seen people use them in reels, so i couldn't do the first one you guys showed for too long as i had less endurance (after getting covid twice, lost alot of muscle and endurance) so i immediatly switched to those alternating ripples (im a beginner with these ropes, i dont know what they are called) well my friend and her coach had a good laugh🥲 but hey i tried and it wasn't a bad start i did 10 on each side and and 10 of those big waves, I was disheartened at first, but I'm not going to let it get to me, I want to crush this type of training, thanks again for the video, from india, cheers!
Battle ropes are no joke. Really proud of you for trying. Practice as often as you can. Frequency/experience will make a big difference. Stay with it. Hard work pays off. You got this! Keep us posted. 👊
Did you get better at it ?
Great video guys thank you, the only bad thing is that coach Chris picked the wrong side. HAIL MEGATRON!!
Good thank yaaa
I am definitely going to have to give this a try. I have been looking for a workout that combines cardio and strength training. Can this give you a total body workout?
Thanks for watching. To get a great full body workout you may want to add some other exercises into this to build a complete program.
I am a beginner, could you plz suggest how many times do I have to practise this battling ropes?
Never used ropes , so you think it’s similar benefits to kettle bell swings ?
Is he gonna battle the Decepticons?
Maybe 😎
Thanks for that battle rope introduction I ordered my ropes an can't wait to start pumping 💪 Btw you look awesome with just a mic on ur upper half;)😍
Awesome! Thank you!
@@Criticalbench definitely new subscriber didn't hesitate to hit that button
Hey bud what size of rope is this one (length and thickness)? Thank you for the video
I think it’s a 1.5 inch diameter rope and 30 ft long. Next size up is good too… 2 inch and 40 ft long.
Damn Thanks bro the rope at my gym is so heavy I can barely move it
Start with shorter durations and increase
I keep trying this and look like a damn spaz. I guess I"m pulling my ropes a little side to side and the ropes keep crossing over each other.
+Chris Harrell It takes time. Be sure your distance from the anchor point is not too far or too close. You need some slack in the ropes but not too much. Keep at it. Practice practice practice :) CC
Thanks for the encouragement!
None of the videos I see on Battle Ropes show where the ropes are tethered. At my gym, the ropes are wrapped around the bottom of the frame on the floor. In my estimation, I think they should be elevated, but I can't find a source on that because no image or video shows where to tether the ropes. Any thoughts?
Ours are also attached to the bottom of our rack so they are right on the floor
How many sets you prefer at the beginning
Hi, I'm 1.66 and weight 66 kg, I have 3 purchase options, a 1.5-inch battle rope of 9 or 15 meters long or 2 inches of 9 meters long, which one do you recommend?
This is really a personal preference.
Can I use battle rope at home? If yes, any suggestion of min. distance for optimum workout?
Yes you can. As far as distance, that will be largely based on the room you have to accomodate
what muscles does work /? upper body..?
Great
Thanks
Question I don't have a lot of room so what's the best way to use them outside in the driveway around a strudy pole?
That would work for sure
How thick are the ropes he's doing
I'm super lame and weak with battle ropes, just started going to the gym a month ago. Hoping to get better with them over time. :')
You will just stay consistent
I need a trainer man I’m literally in the gym right now it’s hard looking at vids and actually doing
Its not that hard! Could easily find someone online that you vibe with 💪
Just bought a rope today. Just back from holiday and determined not to have a belly on next years! 😂
That's the spirit, Karlos! You got this! 💪
Is that a 1.5 or 2 inch rope and what do u recommend? I am a fit male 5'8 178lbs
this is a 2 inch rope. Honestly, go with what works best for you and that you can manage in your workouts to get the most benefit from ropes exercises.
What's the ideal length of rope to have for a beginner?
Anything over 30 feet gets the job done. Most ropes come in 30, 40 or 50 lengths I believe. The longer the rope, the more weight you're working with....diameter is also a huge thing to consider. Try to go with a medium thickness. Coach Chris
Just picked up a 30ft, garage is limited, Will this still give me just as good of a workout vs a 50ft rope?
