BATTLE ROPE SLAMS

VIDEO DEMO:

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Take a rope in each hand, and get into a split-stance with a slight hinge at the hips; this will allow you to generate maximum power.
2. Raise both ropes to around shoulder-height, and slam them to the ground as hard as you can.
3. TIP: While not a direct abs exercise, engaging your abs here is a fantastic way to generate even more force.
