I like this idea too. How hard is it to connect a rope like this to a car?

I'll have to pick up a can. Perhaps I can do a duct tape/plastidip combo on each end.



I actually found it on craigslist. It was posted by a retired football coach who had used it only a...

That's the stuff that came to mind when he said to dip it in resin. I'll have to check out the pricing on that.



What did you gather up the rope for? Do you follow the battling ropes program?

There's about 2-3 inches on each end that are frayed already. The fraying stops at a point where duct tape has been wrapped around the ends. Should I just try to keep an eye on the tape and re-wrap...

@Blind - I've already got a similar setup for my tire... thanks though.

After measuring I found out that it's actually a 50ft rope, not 30. Not a bad deal for $25!

Any other ideas?

I've just bought roughly 30ft of 1.5" thick manila rope for $25 and I'm wondering if this length would be useful for waves and "battling ropes" programming? I know the standard length for things like...

This is a major breakthrough for me and...

Your hips are coming up before your chest. Also, you're not fully locking out the movement. You need to work on driving your hips forward at the top of the lift.

Just my opinion.

This may not be the answer you're looking for but, as with your flat bench, it's best to utilize wide, medium, and narrow grips for the floor press. All three grip variations provide something...

Ditch the shoes or find a better pair with flat soles. Work on keeping your back arched throughout the pull. Lower back and ab work will help with this. Also, it seems as if you are trying to roll...

I went to the 2010 Arnold and it was a blast. Hard bodied girls (and guys for that matter) everywhere and tons of vendors. The best part for me was going to the after-parties and meeting vendor reps,...
