"I am an Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Oakland Raiders. I was first introduced to Anthony DiLuglio and the Ropes Gone Wild Program at the Perform Better Functional Training Summit in Long Beach, Ca. Upon returning to Oakland, I received the ropes and the accompanying DVD in the mail and began using them.
What I love about the ropes is how they force you to engage your core, and also how it provides excellent total body conditioning. The first group I introduced the ropes to was our kickers. I felt it was a good way to add variety to their workouts and to challenge their core strength and endurance in a new way.
We have now integrated Ropes Gone Wild into the in-season workouts for the entire team, and have had positive feedback from everyone who uses them. The players have taken to them well and many have commented on how just a 20 or 30 second burst on the ropes can work them that hard and make their heart rates rise so rapidly.
An added benefit of the ropes for us has been their use with our Injured Reserve players. Since we can perform all of the standing rope patterns in a seated position, this gives us a way to aid in reconditioning our athletes in addition to the rehab that they are involved in.
I would definitely recommend using Ropes Gone Wild as a part of your strength and conditioning arsenal to achieve better core strength and total body conditioning."
