But more and more athletes have been clamoring for a new rope climbing challenge and so here it is…
Functional Hand Strength is now carrying 2″ thick full-length manila climbing ropes for the true rope climbing maniacs out there. These ropes have the same great features of our 1.5″ manila ropes and are made one at a time by hand by our master ropesmith.
* Composed of the highest-quality 3-strand Grade-A manila – The very best in durability and safety
* Safe and secure steel indoor attachment clamp – Makes on/off a snap – literally!
* “Polybooted” end to prevent unraveling — you want your rope to last forever
* L-1 carabiner attachment link – included with all manila climbing rope orders
of “Thick Bar” Training
The oldtime strongmen knew one of the secrets of building frightening forearm strength – using thick-handled training equipment. Now you can apply that concept in an entirely different way, except that 2″ manila has a slight “give” to it, forcing you to grip and grab on even tighter than you would with a steel bar. And this means even stronger hands for you.
I won’t beat around the bush – our traditional 1.5″ manila climbing ropes are more than enough of a challenge for just about anyone and most athletes will NOT be able to climb a 2″ diameter manila rope unless they are a real stud…if you want to learn to climb a rope, DO NOT start with the 2″ diameter. However, even if climbing isn’t your bag, you can still get a great workout with the 2″ ropes.
Attach your climbing rope to a high pulley or even just an overhead beam and go to work. Pull-ups, hanging leg raises, and even just timed hangs will be more than enough of a workout for most people and you won’t need cathedral ceilings for the “grip” effect either. They say being able to do 10 rope pull-ups is equal to climbing a 15 foot rope…
Before you place an order for a 2-inch climbing rope, please keep in mind that our 1.5-inch climbing ropes are generally more than enough of a challenge for anyone especially when factoring in variations such as climbing without using your legs, climbing upside-down etc. As a result, we would strongly recommend going with the 1.5-inch sized rope first and foremost, especially if you are new to rope climbing. By ordering a 2″ rope at this time, we are going to assume that you completely and totally understand the difficulty involved. By proceeding with a 2-inch rope order and upon receipt find it too difficult to climb, there will be a 25% restocking fee involved in the event that you want to exchange it. If you understand the challenge and want to order a 2-inch climbing rope at this time, by all means, please do so and we will be happy to place your order.
