Review on Get In Shape With ZENY Exercise Battle Rope - 1.5/2 Inch Diameter With Various Lengths For Core Strength And Muscle Training At Home Gym by Dexter Pullen

If you want to break in the rope because you feel they're stiff, then you just have to use them a few times for that to happen. After 10 uses, the rope feel looser yet a bit too much as it's already breaking apart in certain areas. I had to use some electrical tapes so the rope is sill flexible yet cover areas that tend to smack the ground most often. Still good if it's your first rope and need other equipement.
