Ranked #4 in Best Weighted Jump Ropes

Rogue PRO Jump Rope

4.0

1 source

The Rogue PRO Jump Rope puts its weight in the handles: two knurled stainless steel handles of one pound each on a thick plastic-coated cable. Garage Gym Reviews, whose team tested it in a field of 15 weighted ropes, gives it a GGR Score of 4.04 and picks it for conditioning and endurance work. GGR notes it takes getting used to after a speed rope, is hard to pack up, and cannot be adjusted for length, so buyers choose one of five cable lengths.

Strengths

— Stainless steel handles resist corrosion, per Garage Gym Reviews
— Fully knurled handles, which GGR's tester found helpful given their weight
— Bearing with 360-degree swivel in the handles

Watch-outs

— Takes a lot of getting used to coming from a speed rope, per GGR
— Thick cable is hard to pack up
— Length is not adjustable; it has to be bought in one of five lengths

WOD Nation Atlas Weighted Jump Rope

4.2

3 sourcesall derived$17as of Oct 17

The WOD Nation Atlas is a handle-weighted jump rope with a half-pound weight in each handle (1 lb in total), supplied with a weighted cable and a thinner speed rope. BarBend named it the best adjustable weighted jump rope for its screw-based length adjustment, Garage Gym Reviews picked it for the best grip, and Tom's Guide rated it best for speed training after its tester managed consecutive double unders with the speed rope. The PVC-coated cable is meant for smooth surfaces, and Tom's Guide's tester could not get the handle weights out. It suits people who want one inexpensive rope for both weighted conditioning and speed work indoors; those training on concrete, or wanting a much heavier rope, should look elsewhere.

Strengths

— Length adjusts without cutting, and changes can be reversed
— Sticky, contoured handles that hold on even with sweaty hands
— Half-pound weight in each handle, for 1 lb in total

Watch-outs

— PVC-coated cable suits smooth floors and may wear quickly on asphalt or concrete
— Tom's Guide's tester could not remove the handle weights
— Thin plastic ropes are prone to tangling and kinking

How they stack up

Rogue PRO Jump Rope

The Rogue PRO carries a pound in each steel handle, where the Crossrope Get Lean and Get Strong sets on this page change the load by clipping on ropes of different weights. It has no Bluetooth handles or app, unlike the Crossrope AMP. Its length is fixed at purchase; Garage Gym Reviews notes it comes in five cable lengths.

WOD Nation Atlas Weighted Jump Rope

Like the Rogue PRO Jump Rope, the Atlas carries its weight in the handles, but the Rogue's steel handles weigh a pound each and its length is fixed at purchase, while the Atlas adjusts by screw. Crossrope's Get Strong Set instead puts the weight in 1 lb and 2 lb cables and costs $169 according to Garage Gym Reviews, against the $27.99 BarBend lists for the Atlas.
