Our standard diameters are 1.5 inch and 2 inch. For most people, the 1.5” version is a good
starting choice. This allows the average adult-sized hand size to get a secure grip and a full range of motion. Also, plenty heavy! This is an excellent option for gyms where individuals of various sizes and fitness levels will be using the same ropes or even homes where multiple persons will use the Battle Rope for workout.
More advanced fitness enthusiasts may prefer the heavier weight and greater challenge of the 2" version. It can be a good strategy to start out with the 1.5” diameter, and then move up to the 2” diameter after a few months. Then, alternating between the two with varying exercises is a great way to continue building strength and endurance.
With respects to the length, it's always best and we encourage you to consider where you plan to use the Battle Ropes. Indeed getting the 50ft will save you a lot but will your 1 car garage where you'll use the ropes accommodate it?
