Product Summary
If you want to up the ante on your double-unders by increasing your stamina, the Rogue PRO weighted jump rope is a good way to do so. This rope features thick (25 millimeters), heavy, stainless steel handles—most of the weight lies in the handles versus the cable, like in other weighted jump ropes.
The Rogue PRO jump rope has a plastic-coated cable that is 5.5 millimeters in diameter. This is about twice the thickness of Rogue Fitness’ SR (speed rope) series, all of which have cables of about 2.4 millimeters.
Even double-under pros may only be able to get a few good reps in with this jump rope before resorting to single-unders. But that’s okay—this rope is built for endurance and strength training, not speed. By implementing the Rogue PRO jump rope into your weekly training, speed ropes will feel light as a feather.
