Good to hear Kelvin! 🤙

This is a very interesting subject I’ll be following in the chat! I do love your jumping style; fast, slick, low hands, imparting the rope rotation almost entirely from the wrists. I’m a 60-year old health coach, fitness club owner, PT, ultra open water swimmer, ex-IronMan triathlete, and I fell in love with jump roping during Covid lockdown #1; as I couldn’t train at work, got a few ropes and started jumping. Two years later I’ve got to the point where I’m not embarrassed by constant trip-ups, and teach all my PT and triathlete clients to jump also. I started immediately with a Crossrope “get lean” set. Being tall (6’4”) the Crossrope website suggested the XL - 9’6” ropes; they come up to my armpits and way too long you’d argue. I’m in two minds on this - looking at the way The Jump Rope Dudes both jump rope, it’s clear they also use long ropes. Having said that, I’ve put a knot in my green 1/4 lbs Crossrope, making it a good deal shorter, but it’s harder with the white 1/2lbs Crossrope rope, and impossible with my newest 1lbs grey Crossrope, all 9’6”. Rush Athletics is also a wonderful jump roper whose style I admire; fast, athletic and slick, though his hands are much higher than yours and he uses a lot more biceps/triceps. Rushi jumps with ultra long ropes and his style is elegantly effortless like you, just different. He jumps like Floyd Mayweather, one of several boxers (like Brian Viloria) who use very long ropes. None of them jump with poor form, just different. Looking at the archives of boxers jump roping (they all do, no surprises there!) there’s a good mix; some use shorter ropes and some have really long ones. I think personally I’m gradually shifting to shorter and shorter ropes, but won’t ever go as short as yours; maybe it’s also a question of the relative length of my arms, legs and torso? I think the question remains open! I agree most ropes are too long. I really wish I’d bought size “L” Crossropes ie 9-foot, but they can’t be cut or altered, for me that’s a drawback, and I believe the Crossrope website makes people buy ropes that are intrinsically too long… That’s why I do 90% of my skipping with Rush Athletics “Money” speed ropes and - when I want a bigger strength workout, their 400g “Legacy” weighted ropes - all fully customisable. Either way, you’re an amazing jump roping coach and I love your videos, so thanks!

Appreciate it man. Yes Rushie is far more the boxing style, which seems to often use a longer rope....boxers tend to do a lot less skills in their jumping. They mainly stick to side swings, Criss Cross, and DU variations. They aren't doing rope releases going for maximizing speed (a shorter rope is a faster rope) and rope control. Onviously he is a very impressive jumper. I would say he is an outlier though. Most people with long ropes don't jump at his level. JRD don't. IMO they have pretty average skill sets, but that is all they have seemingly wanted to do. I believe they would.both benefit from shortening their ropes based on their form being more similar to mine. Not everyone needs to jump with a rope that comes up on their bellybutton, but my over arching point is that people seem to shy away from testing how short they can go. The process of doing this will force the jumper to become more aware of their form and technique making them a better jumper in the long run. Plus they will likely settle.on a rope that was shorter than they originally thought they would like. That's how it definitely worked for me. Cheers bud and thanks for watching!

Absolutely agree. Done this for years without knowing this was the way to go. It just felt more comfortable. Use the knot method when working out in a circuit with others. Great video. Many thanks.

This is a really good conversation to have for jump ropers. My guess is the reason most people use the underarm length ratio is because it's easy to teach and remember for those starting out. I've been jumping rope in my workout routines for over 15 years now and I've found that 90% of the time my tripping up has to do with my wrists, elbows, hand placement, upper body form, etc.; rarely is it something to do with my feet or jumping. At 6'2", I've shortened my rope to about 8'8" from 9'0" over the last few years and that required a significant adjustment in my technique. Even a slight change in rope size, e.g. 2", can severely impact your technique--and especially tricks, such as crossovers! Two extreme examples of rope lengths and their usage are Buddy Lee and Floyd Mayweather Jr: 2 totally different techniques, outcomes, uses, training styles, etc., but both still amazing jump ropers!

In regards to Crossrope and sizing, with their cable ropes, you are stuck with 6" size increments. Tying one knot in the 1/4 lb. rope will shorten it by 3", which is a lot, plus makes the rope unbalanced on one side. Just never been able to understand why they don't offer their ropes in smaller size increments. If I'm paying premium money for a rope, then it would be nice if I could order it more specific to my height. For this very reason alone I prefer RX ropes which offer cable sizing in 2" increments. So if sizing is all that important, then why doesn't Crossrope address this issue by offering more options to their customers? Just my thoughts! Thanks for the sizing video, it is spot on! Terry

@Jump15official

2 жыл бұрын

Definitely understand where you are coming from. Personally, with the 1/4 lb rope I don't notice any imbalance with a knot on one side. That wouldn't work as well with the heavier ropes, but I'm not performing skills with them so I typically don't need to knot them. When Crossrope started they had 3" sizing increments from 7'3" all the way to 9'9". It was a nightmare for inventory since they are all manufactured at the length for maximum durability. RX buys spools of wire and crimps them themselves to size because they are dealing with lighter ropes. When I'm doing du's with a 1, 2 or 3 lb rope, I want to know that it can handle the pressure and that it won't come apart on me.....that could kill or seriously injure someone! 😬 Honestly, I think a lot of people could size into the shorter option with CR if they take the time to dial in their form. There will be outliers regarding this of course, but then just have an adjustable rope for your main freestyling. Remember that Crossrope is first and foremost a jump rope fitness system and not a trick rope. It would be awesome if they could find a way to make them more custom sized while retaining the safety for high performance with the heavy ropes though.🤙

Most competitors who do those tricks in competition use a shorter rope. It will increase rope speed and your ability to manipulate the rope faster. The law of diminishing returns will take effect at some point so it's trial and error to find what's optimal for you🤙

Definitely best sizing video I’ve seen. I’m 6’3 started with 9’6 CR and if I keep hands low, way too long, agreed. I can “manage” if I keep my arms high like RA, which is fine up to 1lb but I like to use 2-3-4-5 lbs as well and the 9ft is still a bit long with hands at hips. I can use a M CR 8’6 but not fully comfortable. An 8’9 would be perfect. Was thinking of getting RA Ignite ropes but they come in only 10ft and u have to cut to ur height which means I’d be cutting over a foot of rope which will decrease the weight of the ropes which IMO defeats the purpose. Another way I look at sizing is to look at my arms, the more bend, the more likely it’s too long. If ur arms r barely bent like you/Tori, that’s how to know ur in the right range. But everyone is different. And you are 1000% right about social media.

Quite hard to do tricks

I incorporate boxing specific rope technique into my jump rope routines. Shorter ropes work for tricks but by no means is it the only way to have good rope form. I have good rope form and use standard crossrope sizing. If i forget my ropes at home, i use the shorter one at the gym and have no problems with it. the speed is easier to ramp up, but i can still go just as fast with a longer one. The better you get, the less overall size matter. I havent tried to go taller than standard, but Floyd mayweather, valoria, a lot of elite boxers in fact jump with taller than normal ropes. Less tricks but for fitness and coordination basics, it starts tro matter less the better you get

@Jump15official

Жыл бұрын

Hey bud, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! I absolutely agree to a point. I talk about good rope form with longer ropes, however, a shorter rope is going to be more effective for training at higher intensities because it can move/respond faster. What do you mean when you say boxing specific rope technique? Interested to hear from a boxer. The reason I ask is because to me jump rope is jump rope regardless of sport. Boxers tend to use a set of skills (crosses, side swings, doubles, du cross)....and imo, miss out on benefits of building speed, coordination, footwork and further stamina by not building out more skill sets. I know boxers are in incredible shape and much of their conditioning comes from their boxing training, but could they get an extra edge w/ jump rope? I think so based on how I've seen jump rope training translate to different sports in my life. To clarify my stance, ultimately my videos are pointing people towards optimal performance with the jump rope. All people don't want to jump at my, Buddy Lee's, Valoria's or at Floyd's level and that's fine. But it doesn't change what is optimal and I show what it took me to get to my level. A long rope will never go as fast as a short rope. There is a mechanical advantage and the circumference in which a longer vs shorter rope travels. The only way a longer rope may seem as fast is if your foot and wrist speed (athleticism/technique) is holding you back, which from my experience is from not dialing in form and technique with a shorter rope and BUILDING both of those skills. Everyone's max will be different. Good on you that you can pick up a shorter rope and still jump! That speaks volumes of your skill level and that is where I try to push people. Experiment with different sizes and find what works for you and if it's not getting you to the level you want.....adjust. Since you box - historically boxers do tend to use a longer rope. I don't know if that's because that's how it has always been taught in the boxing community or if they are trying to keep fighters hands higher so they don't get used to dropping them excessively or simply because many boxers aren't highly skilled with a rope and it's a secondary endurance builder. If you have thoughts I would love to hear. Cheers bud and keep crushing!🤙

@Jump 15 - Jump Rope Fitness IT basically all comes down to movement and fluidity with boxing. Footwork positions the boxer as well as propels and directs all of the boxers movement. It is an absolutely crucial element to the sport and its stressed right from the beginning of a boxers training. The jump rope lends itself to that movement and fluidity. So a boxing specific technique used when jumping roping would aim to make it easier for the boxer to be relaxed overall but ready to fluidly move while being explosive on command. Take the basic bounce. The boxer who practices his footwork on the bag, hitting mitts, sparring, doing agility drills and exercises that are boxing specific will carry over into how that boxer skips. So a pro boxer will look a lot lighter on his feet and more relaxed when jumping than an average jumper. A lot Less tense, not worried so much about speed as he would be the ability to fluidly explode sideways, forward, backward, etc, on command. A rope thats to short or uncomfortably short would hinder this fluidity and ease of movement. Skipping should be used by a boxer to keep the feet as light and as fluid as possible. Ready to move wherever is needed with the least amount of energy expended as possible. I'd personally say this is why I use a longer rope
