Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Invention relates to a training device that utilizes no attachments or removable parts. Invention is a adjustable training rope designed to use trees to anchor invention and body positions (include: positions parallel, below or above users waist level) for physical training purpose.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Conventional strap or rope training device consist of many attachments and separate parts that are required to work in conjunction with each other for the system to function. Also conventional trainers use a single anchor point. Using limbs as your anchor allows for different anchor points making invention adjustable to different width as anchor points. Long length of rope allow for higher anchor points then conventional straps that require the user to attach anchor by hand. Many rope trainers attach above the user and limit there training techniques. By utilizing the trunk of a tree the invention is able to be used at angles above, parallel or below users waist. Buckles, harnesses, clips, hooks and many other clasps are used to adjust conventional training systems. This invention utilizes a tow knot which allows for adjustable rope length and the ability to untie a knot after it has just suspended a average man completely off the ground. Invention is completely useful without any attachments or additional hardware. Conventional training devices involves carrying many attachments. Our lighter weight single construct invention brings new portability to the field.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Tree training rope according to the invention comprises of a rope made of nylon with very faint elastic properties. A handle made of tubular sturdy material which is wrapped with grip. A weighted ball grip made of firm but not hardened sphere covers both knots needed to tie off handles and act as second grip option. In yet another aspect of the invention long length of rope allows for more training techniques and adjustable lengths. Adjustable lengths are completely custom and not preset by clasps and harnesses. Specialized knot used to adjust length.
