Battle Ropes
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in an athletic quarter squat, holding one rope end in each hand with a firm grip. Brace your core and rapidly raise and lower your arms to send alternating waves down the rope, keeping a strong, continuous rhythm. Stay low with your chest up and let the power come from your shoulders and torso, not just your arms. Keep the waves powerful and even for the full work interval without standing fully upright.
