weave rope

about how high is it advisable to string up a rope for working on weaving? I am about 6 foot tall and need to work on head movement
in ya'lls opinion about how high shoul d I string the weave rope

 

Depends - are you doing it for a leg workout or realistic head movement?
The best leg workout will be around 3.5 to 4 feet, but it'll be slow going.
Realistic head movement will be around 4.5 to 5 feet, but better make sure you're going fast.

 

You want it about shoulder height!

 

yep, always shoulder height.

 

and shoulder height for a 6 footer should be around 5 feet.

 

that would be correct, However you wouldnt want that 3.5 or 4.0 in the mix he will get nothing out of it, you dont have to move your head much to get out of the way of a shot. shoulder height is ideal for weaving under shots

 

thanx guys.......Im cooking dinner and then putting up the rope and I am gonna try to do 3 5 minute rounds on my dummy and 1 5 minute round on the rope with my gloves on

 

I went to gyms where they would put it really low and just have you do a leg workout in the name of "head movement" when it was nothing like realistic head movement.
That's why I made the disclaimer in my post.
The leg workout's not too dissimilar from duck walks or frog jumps back and forth.

 

Where you get your avatar?

 

the weave rope my favorite piece of equipment in the gym there are so many different stratagies and movements it can help with

 

well feel free to make any suggestions for good utilizaion of it

 

its a drill i like to do may seem a little unorthadox a first but it think it helps a lot stand on the left side of the rope in your orthadox stance grab the weave rope with an ok grip so you hand can slide freely nowkeep your elbow tight to your rib and begin to advancethrow a jab over the rope double and triple the jab it works on form and all the while keeps your right hand in the proper position advance and retreat throwing jabs and hooks.

 

I have been doing this every day since you made that post dude
thanx
any other neat weave rope tricks of training you would like to share?

 

you like that right i figured that **** out just goin at it helps keep you in positions footwork too try weavin the rope or instead of a weave with you torso leanin foward and rolling try just stand in your orthodox stance and advance but bend your knees and dont weave but duck under as if you were ducking under straight punches like a squat builds your leags and will help you slip punches
