@ashere I knew the reason I suck at DUs is because I have the wrong rope.

 

[strings51415]

@echo17 Finally!! It’s good to know why isn’t it?

 

[johndowling]

@ashere I have an RPM rope.

Can confirm that I did NOT do 500+ dubs in my workout with said rope.

 

[ashere]

@johndowling Have you tried turning it off and on again?

 

[johndowling]

@ashere Haha have tried switching off and on again, disconnecting and re-pairing but alas, I’m still awful at dubs

 

[weighbourg]

@ashere Lmao

@ashere Evo G2 a cool $165

Edit: Gang I posted the cost to somehow prove to myself that I don't need this. The responses here aren't helping me with that.

 

[weighbourg]

@faithfullyfit Great rope but can confirm the handles WILL break if you throw it against the rig out of frustration when you keep tripping during 24.2

 

[faithfullyfit]

@weighbourg Lol oh shit thanks for doing the research for the rest of us

 

[ashere]

@weighbourg Oh well, on the bright side: now you don't have to hinge to pick-up your wallet anymore. You can leave it there, it's empty anyways...

 

[mb74]

@faithfullyfit Whoa buddy you’re not allowed to advertise for another rope on this specific rope advertisement post

 

[73552]

@faithfullyfit I love my g2. I got it as a gift and had an rpm before that, it’s wild good, I’ve went back to the rpm to see the difference, it’s night and day, g2 is just a much better rope. Handles are perfect.

 

[ashere]

@73552 The spin on the G2 is endless and it's also better for bigger hands. The RPM handles are much thinner and shorter good for people with small to normal sized hands.

@faithfullyfit One of my favorite CrossFit equipment purchases. Bought it shortly after the 2021 open and with next to no maintenance it’s still going strong. Highly recommend it if you got the cash and you’re in the market for a rope

@faithfullyfit I have this and it was absolutely worth it. It has been 3 years and it's still in PERFECT condition. On the contrary, RPM I had to replace the rope like 1-2x per year because the wires would fray. So I feel like the cost kinda evens out.

 

[chrishaun]

@faithfullyfit Amazing rope.

 

[scholasticus]

@faithfullyfit Brb, going to create a jump rope company

 

[ezra932]

@faithfullyfit I’m still using my Rogue SR1 from 2016. I got 741 on 24.2 and I can confidently say that the doubles were not holding me back, more so my lack of fitness and lazy transitions.

 

[ezra932]

There are tons of good ropes out there and absolutely no reason to drop 200+ CAD on a jump rope.
