Top Three Reasons Battle Ropes Can Help Your CrossFit Training
Crossfit took the fitness industry by storm more than a decade ago, and has improved the attitude and use of high intensity training, interval training, and mixing cardio with heavy weights.
It has also come with its fair share of issues, but with those issues, Crossfit coaches and gyms are searching and pursuing more education and improvements in programming, exercise selection, and modalities to continue to improve the quality of their coaching and programs.

What is the Best Battle Rope and Why?
Most battle ropes are made out of poly dacron fibers, which are very strong, durable, and moderate weight for their size and tensile strength. Here are some other fibers used to make ropes:
| Fiber Type | Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Poly Dacron | Strong, Durable, Moderate Weight, Most Common, Easily twisted and braided | Not good if exposed to outside surfaces such as sand, bark, dirt, asphalt, and rough cement (like sidewalks and driveways) |
