Sizing
Small: For height ranges 4'8" to 5'2"

Large: For height ranges 5'9" and taller
The maximum rope length equal to your height plus 3 feet and is simply a recommendation of the longest rope you should be using for your height. However, you may currently be comfortable using a jump rope that is longer than our chart recommends and that is okay. The safest way to order an Rx Jump Rope that suits your needs is to measure your current jump rope and order that same size.
Your Height + 3 ft. (92cm) = Rope Length
If you are unsure of your rope length or you're looking to improve efficiency. An extra 3ft is the absolute longest we recommend for you, but going shorter is advisable. Use our cable length calculator, video tutorial and infographic below as reference.
Cable
Cable Weight Variations
Zeus 8.6 – IDEAL FOR INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED LOOKING FOR A GOOD PUMP
The Zeus cable weighing 1/2 pound per 9ft section was developed to add intensity to your double unders. When exercises become easy they're proven to no longer affect the body. Adding resistance to double unders can completely change a work out as demonstrated in the 2016 CrossFit Games when heavy double unders with a rope inspired by the Zeus rope were first performed. The Zeus cable will develop stabilizer muscles while still provide a cardio based workout infused with the resistance training of weight lifting. This cable was carefully selected to ensure the user can still perform fluid double unders yet not alter the jumper's technique or mechanics. Can you tame the Gods? This rope comes in limited cable colors and is only available with Black Handles with Zeus logo tape.
Kronos 16.2 – IDEAL FOR ATHLETES LOOKING AT UPPING WORKOUT INTENSITY
Move over kids, Big Daddy Kronos is ready to dominate with his 1 pound cable per 9 foot section. Kronos will undoubtedly push your high intensity work outs to the max with as much resistance as you can handle. Double unders with a 1 pound cable will not only develop grip strength and muscular stamina but will also force you to develop efficient technique and mechanics or suffer the wrath of the gods. Can you tame the Father of the Gods? This rope comes in limited cable colors and is only available with Black Handles and Kronos logo tape. Only sold in sizes 8'0", 8'4", 8'8" and 9'0". Please refer to our sizing recommendations for the best fit.

it's awful - as in heavy - and difficult - but the rope itself is great
Hi Sherrie, thank you for your feedback! We're glad you like the rope itself.
with about 2 weeks of work i’ve already noticed my body toning up and my shoulders especially have begun to develop more. i do get gassed out more quickly so this rope has inspired me to get the g2 evo for more cardio focused training !
Great workout
Hi there! We're happy to hear you enjoyed your workout with our Heavy Jump Ropes. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Awesome ropes
Thanks for the review! Happy jumping ;)
Very heavy
I like it
Hi Michael, we're glad to hear you like the Heavy Jump Ropes! Thanks for your great review and support.
The best! Great long lasting quality and performance effective.
I love it! High quality rope and great for single or double under work.
Love this jump rope. The weight is perfect!
Loved
Le top, franchement !!!
So far so good
I was a little anxious about moving from the lightweight rope to the weighted, but I love it and feel my body working to control the weight of the rope while I am jumping - total body workout!
Love it! It adds a jump start to my workouts. Very sturdy and the weight is a added bonus
Love it thank you
This are the best :)
Love it
After trying multiple different ropes, I must say this is by far my favourite jump rope!
Thanks to this rope, I mastered my double under crossovers :-D
I highly recommend this rope if you want to take your rope game further!
I also have a Zeus rope, and the lightest speed rope, but I always choose this during wod's ;-D
We're so happy to hear you're enjoying our heavy ropes. Thanks for the review, Morten!
Top skipping rope and well worth the money
I am an avid jumprope athlete and this rope is hands down the best of both worlds with cardio and weight training. Will only purchase rx ropes forever. Thanks for an extremely great quality rope.
A whole new kind of workout! Crazy hard on shoulders & cardio !! Needed to relearn jump and timing, so fun to learn a new skill! Beautiful rope!
This rope forces me to improve my arm and hand positioning for double unders. It is a very smooth rope.
Best purchase ! Love it great jump rope !
Added this rope to my workouts so I could still get my heart rate up without always having to do double unders. Works great. The only thing is I wish is rope length could have more size options. I am 5'4 and got the medium and i feel its a little long for me."
Best Heavy rope on the market and awesome customer care
Just finished using Kronos in the Legends Competition. That thing was soooo awful, I had to get one myself. Ill be ready for you next time, Kronos!
Solid rope for heavy training. Just don't hit your toe!
This is definitely a heavy cable that will make you work. Handles and swivels fun ton well.
This rope is my favorite! I dont do tricks, but go for ultimate calorie burn and all around great workout! This gives great, immediate feedback that I love! The handles are the best of any rope Ive ever used, and Ive been jumping rope for 17 years (Im 57)! Wonderful product, well thought out and brilliantly made!!! I also use the 4.1 ounce and the 12 ounce ropes of theirs and live them!!!
Great weighted rope and performs as advertised.
Been using Kronos with my interval training to improve my non-existent Double-Unders and already can do 10 in a row. It has only been a week!!!
Defiantly recommend the Kronos to improve DUs.
Was looking to add a weighted rope to my workout equipment. I have had a RX rope since 2014 and didn't think twice about getting a second one.
When I first started using this rope I wasn't sure I would ever be able to hit double unders with it. After doing the RX Ten a Day challenge I can actually do sets of 10 with it consistently. Definitely an advanced rope, but if you are comfortable on a zeus rope there's no reason you couldn't use this one. Lord forbid you hit a toe coming through on a dub though, you may lose it haha.
Try them out, worth it!
Heavy Jump Rope FAQs
Some of our most frequently asked questions. Please contact us directly with any other questions you may have.
Take your height and add 3 feet. Round down to the nearest size. Jumping with a shorter heavy rope is easier than a longer one. Trust us!
Our sizing chart goes by your height plus 3 feet, which provides plenty of slack. So when on the cusp of 2 lengths we recommend the shorter one.
Heavier than you'd expect! The Zeus is a great starting point for heavy rope training. At 1/2 a pound, it will challenge you and deliver a great workout. The Kronos at a full pound is ideal for athletes who are ready to push their training to the next level.
The Zeus rope will feel much heavier than a typical training or speed rope. Multiply that by 2 for the Kronos! If you are just beginning your heavy rope journey, start with the Zeus!
Heavy ropes increase workout intensity, recruit more muscle groups, and push your cardiovascular system harder helping you hit your redline faster and build real conditioning.
They train different qualities. Heavy ropes build strength and stamina while speed ropes are designed for endurance and agility. Think of them as complementary tools rather than substitutes for each other.
Yes but that is by design. The added weight naturally slows your tempo, you will have to jump higher to get those dubs!
The rope features PVC coated wire cable on plastic handle with HydroTac grip which will keep your hands secure even when sweating.
Absolutely. Double unders are very doable with a heavy rope and going with a shorter rope length makes them even easier to pull off.
Keep the ropes indoors on a smooth surface. Rubber gym flooring is always best!
No, RXSG believes that all of the weight should be in the cable where it makes jumping the most challenging.
Always warmup and prepare for your jumping session. Heavies are intense, make sure you're ready for it by stretching out those calves, feet, wrists and shoulders.
Don't even worry! ...your jump rope is fine! Our durable handles are virtually indestructible.
Cables wear out over time but you purchase a heavy replacement cable when you need a new one.
It's cheap and easy to do right here on our site! It's also important to use Key Wedgie or the Split Ring Pliers prevent breaking your nails.
