Reply With Quotejump rope is great. intervals of like 10-20sec (or 20-30 turns of the rope) with short rest are awesome for power endurance (like doing quick feet) and longer intervals are great for cardio benefits.

Jump Rope
I got myself a jump rope the other day and its a hard workout to say the least. its also pretty fun and you can pretend your Rocky with Eye of the Tiger blaring in your ears
just throwing this out there as there are many benefits to jumping rope such as improved balance, coordination, agility, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning (depending on how you set up your training) and probably a host of others that my hung over self cannot think of.
i did a quick search on google and found this website, whoever this buddy lee guy is he seems to know his shit and outlines some nice programs as well as explaining the benefits, showing how to implement the rope into a training program. although the site is more geared towards sports specific training i'm sure bodybuilders could adapt it their needs.

i would not really use a jump rope program to increase my vertical, IMO there are more optimum ways to increase one's vertical.

I throw jump rope in all the time during my circuits. I love it. I have some of my clients jump rope sometimes too.

Jumping rope is for girls!!!!!!
J/K
Actually I'd love to jump rope but I'm too uncoordinated and out of shape!I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Jumping rope is just great, i feel as though its way overlooked by many people even though its a fun, inexpensive way to train.
Rocco, i suck at it too but just like anything else you get better with time. Hell i've only gotten about 105 consecutive rope spins before messing it up and that was once, my average is about 30 lol. i have no coordination what so ever but i'm working on it.
