This is really hard. “Really” advanced isn’t a very techinical term, but you will see what I mean when you check out my latest video! I thought it was going to be impossible….but there were people looking so it was time to suck it up!
Well no hands would be truly impossible…
Rope Battling Push Up Plank Rows
This video came from the Accelerated Strength Development Seminar (from one of the breaks – imagine all the stuff going on when during the actual conference!).
Muslces targeted:
- Core / abdominal
- Upper back
- Chest
- Triceps
- Biceps
- Grip / hands / forearms
That’s a lot, but if you are weak in any of these areas there is no hiding!

Love it Joe!!! I have done similiar work with my wrestlers doing tug-a-war in the plank and push-up positions. They eat up that competitive work! Effort levels double!!

Awesome video Joe. If we left out the rows/push ups how many rounds would you recommend of the plank + battling ropes? 3 rounds of 15-30 seconds depending on the athlete?
sick!!!
Thanks Keith!
Joe – 3 x 30 each arm for newer, 4-6 x 30 – 45 seconds for more experiences.
It isn’t a basic movement, so I wouldn’t do it with anyone that doesn’t have a decent level of gpp.

Nice. I wanna incorporate those into my workout.
You could prolly lighten the load and face sideways perpendicular to the rope and reach under and across the plank and pull laterally to boot…anti-rotation/rotation.
Also could prolly face away over/parallel the rope and pull kinda like a front raise.
Good stuff.
