Christopher Bassett 264228 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hello When lowering down on the rope climb as slow as possible, should one aim to fully extend the arms on each rep down or just get as many reps down as possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everett Carroll Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hey Christopher, Great question. A full lower to a straight arm is an excellent goal to shoot for with these. Be sensitive to your elbows though. Jumping into these has a high potential to irritate them if the proper foundation has not yet been built. The Foundation Series had a wealth of progressions that prepare your upper body for the demands of rope climbs before specifically building rope climb strength. I urge you to look into those progressions and master your basics before specifically training rope climbs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Generally speaking the TEMPO and the Range of motion of the single arm depend on the proficiency on a normal rope climbing where you bend the elbow in the descent part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
