Battling Ropes

Other Shoulders

The Battling Ropes is a strength movement that targets your shoulders. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Battling Ropes

  1. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, one rope end in each hand.
  2. Alternate driving each arm up and down rapidly to create waves.
  3. Keep your core braced and your back flat throughout.
  4. Generate power from your hips — don't rely on arms alone.
