Tim try an agriculture supply store like a Peavey mart or UFA. Or else if you happen to know someone who lives out in a small town with an elevator and see if you can get a piece of rope from a rail car puller. They would have to replace them every now and then, so if you can score a piece of that style of rope they are sweet, they are about 2" in diam and are easy on the hands.

I don't know, for some reason Curtis I can't seem to find ropes of that caliber around here. I guess I'm just not looking hard enough. You did mention somewhere that rope climbing got rid of that pain in your inner elbow, is this true. It seems to me that whenever i climb, it just makes it worst. However I've only been climbing for a couple weeks though. How long does it usually take for that pain to subside? I just got my rope at Home Depot Yes, I have definetly found that it has helped to prevent that inner elbow paint. But you HAVE to make sure to warmup really good. I find climbing from sitting until standing 3 times gets my inner elbows nice and warm, then I climb the whole rope after that.

I bought some used 2" rope on ebay. I use it for climbing exercises as well as isometric (static) pulling exercises on the armwresting table. I'm still pretty new to the sport, but I think using the rope is effective.

if anyones interested ive found that wall climbing/ rock climbing works the tri and bi very well, IMO much better then rope climbing because its a range of different motions. although i do like doing them both alot.

Like most exercises that I do I use thick grips. The thicker the rope the harder your workout! Manila rope is the best for training. Manila rope is pressure treated for extream pressure such like climbing halling and for the amazing sport of "Tug of War" . endless armwrestling benifits when training for "tug of war"
