Battle Ropes

For today’s workout I tested out the battle ropes at out gym to work my shoulders. I have to say I like the ropes, but the placement at my gym could be much better. (Note: you need a fairly large space). Next time I use them I’ll be sure to unhook them and move them to a larger area and have a buddy stand on the other end. (Sometime you just have to improvise!) Anyways, here’s the workout!
