I bought a jump rope from academy two months ago and have realized my shoulders get tired from spinning it long before my lower body does. I was advised by a friend that a heavier rope would do for my boxing training. I am 6'1 and weigh 202 lbs, anyone have a good idea as to what weight i should get and maybe where I can find these heavy ropes?
Between 2 and 4 pounds for the weight.
Something like this:

The rope Trailer
Obviously the rope goes around the curtain in a horizontal manner and then attaches using the ends to hook onto a cup hook. The thing I am asking here is from top to bottom of the window, where are the ropes to be placed? There has got to be a rule about this of some kind or another. Perhaps an interior decorator could come to my rescue? Is there a specific angle that the rope should hang from the cup hooks? or Should the rope be taught, thus forcefully pulling the curtain to the side and looking albeit...a bit um strained?
If the drapery is floor length, you should put the tie back hooks at the bottom of the window sill. It will give the window a more dramatic look.
I need to make a rope from 2 single sized bedsheets and a pillowcase. The rope must be strong enough for a 225 lb person to safely decend from a 4 story window to the ground. How many pieces should each bedsheet be torn into in order to make a rope strong enough to hold the person that is decending the rope? I have no room for trial and error. This has to be correct on my first attempt or else the rope will break because it's not strong enough; or the rope will be too short to reach the ground. The rope will only be used once, unless I can figure out a way to get the rope untied from the 4th story window when I'm on the ground.
1. Forget the pillow case
2. Tear each sheet long wise into 8 equal width strips. i.e tear in half, then tear each piece in half twice.
3. Knot 5 strips together using reef knots to make 3 long strips about 36 feet long. You will have one piece left over to anchor the rope at the top.
4. Twist each strip, then tie the three ends together.
5. Start braiding the twisted strips together (I hope you know how to do a braid).
6. Tie one end to a secure object.
7. Climb down. You may have to drop 6 feet or so at the end.
Things to do if you can.
-- Test the "rope" for strength if you can by hanging from it safely. The sheets may be made of some poor fiber.
-- Make sure you have the arm strength and the skill to climb down a rope. Wear gloves to avoid rope burn if you can.
I have a few feet of rope that I was told was called "lineman's rope". I was also told that the phone company uses it to pull cables through underground pipes. I'm planning on using it for a pumpkin chuckin' catapult, but I don't have enough rope. I've tried searching online, but I can't find anything about it. Does anyone know what else it might be called?
At the power plant, we called it "cable pulling" or "tugger" rope.
In those japanese samurai movies, I noticed that they tie a rope/string around their arms and arm pits to help them move their arms more freely.
What is that rope called? How do they tie it?
its call a sageo its the rope from the katana,
an expert samurai could tie it with one hand.
