It is that the thing\ndoes not fit in a living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the movement without the rope. You hold a short, springy bar in each hand and drive the same\nalternating waves, slams and circles. The resistance does not come from dragging a heavy line across\nthe floor. It comes from the mass of the bar and the coil spring inside it, which loads as you swing out\nand snaps back as you change direction. Your grip, forearms, shoulders and trunk have to keep catching\nit, which is the part that burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-heavy-duty-battle-throwing-rope\/02_man_single_arm_wave_home.jpg\" alt=\"Man in a home living room driving a single black coil-spring training bar downward in a one-arm wave\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it actually is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth being precise, because this listing has been sold under a confusing name and the category is\nfull of things that look alike.

Do not swing it at anyone, do not strike\nanything with it, and do not use it as a striking or self-defense implement.
