How To Set Up and Utilize The Victory Ropes
Victory Ropes are a multi functional, dynamic, piece of fitness equipment. Athletes can use the Victory Ropes to increase speed, agility, strength, and explosiveness in the upper body, core, and lower body. There are also Victory Ropes drills that can train multiple parts of the body at the same time. The Victory Ropes are also great for team, small groups, or partner training due to their ability to attach to multiple athletes who can then perform similar, or different, fitness routines while the resistance between the Victory Ropes forces athletes to work against each other to complete the drill. The Victory Ropes fit everyone and can accommodate any size athlete with any level of strength and stamina.
How To Set Up Victory Ropes Using The Anchor Strap
The Anchor Strap is a safety handle that is attached at each end of the Victory Rope. The Anchor Strap can be used to secure the Victory Ropes around an athletes foot, wrist, or torso. Coaches must properly use the Anchor Strap during training to ensure athletes perform safe and effective resisted fitness drills.
When learning how to attach the Victory Ropes around the wrist athletes will need to first place the Anchor Strap around the wrist so the entire hand is through the loop of the Anchor Strap. Athletes will grab the end of the loop with the hand through the Anchor Strap and then pull the Anchor Strap tight around the wrist with the opposite hand. When younger or inexperienced athletes are first learning how to set up the Victory Ropes it is important a coach or parent checks the tightness of the Anchor Strap on the wrist to ensure the Victory Ropes are secured and will not cause a safety hazard. Athletes should practice how to set up the Victory Ropes on both wrists in case a partner Victory Ropes Drill is performed requiring attaching the Anchor Straps to either wrist.
How To Attach And Extend The Victory Ropes Around The Feet And Waist
Athletes will use a slightly different method when learning how to set up and attach the Victory Ropes to the feet and torso. When practicing how to set up the Victory Ropes on the feet, athletes will take the same Anchor Strap, which was used to attach to the wrist, and place the Anchor Strap around the top of their foot. Athletes will want to maintain dorsi flexion, flexing the toe toward the shin, to ensure the Victory Ropes stay secured to the feet throughout the Victory Ropes Exercises.
One of the great benefits of performing athletic training with the Victory Ropes is the diversity of athletic drills which can performed using the Victory Ropes. A wide variety of drills come from the multiple attachment sites for the Victory Ropes. Attaching the Victory Ropes around the waist opens up a multitude of Victory Ropes drills that can be performed with a partner. The first thing athletes must master when learning how to set up the Victory Ropes for partner training is how to attach the Victory Ropes. A single Victory Rope will stretch up to 20 feet. When athletes are able to learn how to attach two Victory Ropes together they immediately double the parameters of all athletic drills they had planned on executing during their training session.
In order to attach the Victory Ropes athletes will need two Victory Ropes and will begin attaching the Ropes by sliding one Victory Rope through one of the opposite Victory Ropes Anchor Straps. Athletes will then pull one end of that same Victory Rope through its own anchor strap, pull the Victory Ropes tight, and athletes have just learned how to set up a double Victory Rope. Many challenging partner drills can be performed with the Victory Ropes in this set up. Athletes can use resisted training drills that require athletes to attach the Victory Ropes to different parts of the body. Athletes can also alternate between performing static and active athletic training activities with the Double Victory Ropes.
After athletes have attached the Victory Ropes they can increase the number of resisted Victory Ropes drills they can perform by learning how to attach the Double Victory Ropes around their waist. To create a loop athletes will grasp the middle of one of the Victory Ropes, feed it through one of its own Anchor Strap and then pull the Victory Rope through the Anchor Strap until the desired loop length is reached. This Victory Rope loop set up will fit around any athletes’ waist. Athletes can create one or two loops with the Double Victory Ropes, depending on the requirements of the drill. Larger athletes will need to adjust the Victory Ropes loop after each set of their drill so the Victory Ropes do not get excessively tight around the waist. Younger athletes should not have to adjust the Victory Ropes as much as they will be creating less tension as they move through their resisted training drills.
