Battle Rope Burpee Power Slam

Overview:

The exercise combines the battling rope power slam with a burpee after every 2-3 slams. This addition of a burpee makes the workout more challenging, making it an excellent finisher for your routine.

Teaching Points:

3. Drive the rope upwards overhead and forcefully slam it into the floor at the top of the movement.
4. Inhale during the upward phase and exhale during the downward phase.
5. Perform 2-3 reps of slams, then drop to the floor and execute a burpee.
6. Repeat the exercise for a specific duration or number of repetitions.
