I've been doing a lot of exercises on ropes lately but my current ropes are only 1 inch and I wanted something bigger so I found a 25 foot 1 1/2 inch rope online and bought it Anything larger than 1 1/2 inches would have been too big and this is the standard size for climbing ropes from what I've read somewhere I was thinking about hanging it from the tree again but upon reflection decided to hang it from the rafters in my garage where I can use it in any weather and also don't have to worry about rot Looking forward to using it I hope You have a lot of fun with it. Thanks Michael

The French World Legion doesn't seem to have the same ring to it. I doubt that it's foreigners that are offended about the labeling of foreign films. It will be the usual type of people that are offended on behalf of everyone else, m8.

When I had the rope in a tree in my yard I got to where I could climb it hands only in a "L" position, but it took some work to strengthen my grip to that point It was a fabulous exercise though The good ol' days of remembrance past. Now, it's a decent crap, blood pressure reading, cholesterol count & suffering fools gladly. Ah, the golden years!?

Reminds me of Olympic wrestler Aleksandr Karelin (887-2 Record)...“Of course, I am grateful for my strength. It makes me self-sufficient. When I bought a refrigerator, I carried it myself up the stairs to my apartment on the eighth floor." www.bjjee.com/articles/looked-like-aleksandr-karelin-went-beast-mode-look-legendary-wrestler-887-2-record/My grandfather delivered ice (He had his own business) for ice boxes, coal, and oil - all heavy labor jobs. The ice blocks were huge and he had to carry those on his back up flights of stairs. He was a big and strong guy with huge hands. He did pop 2 hernias (left and right inguinal) and never got surgery as did not want to miss work and wore a truss and wrapped this vulnerable area tightly in what was described to me to be a long narrow sheet (like what boxers wrap their hands with but wider and longer) to hold in his guts. He also subjected himself to injections in that area of the body to toughen the flesh so it did not protrude. Anthony Bova thought submission wrestling was the best exercise. What the hell… “Siberian pine nuts are completely organic and wild harvested. They contain no GMOs and come from trees that have not been grafted. Pine nuts are 100% natural and pure, and may be called the King of Super Foods. Siberian pine nuts are the most valuable product of all known products obtained from various plants. On average, any product—whether nuts, fruits, seeds, root vegetables, or berries—takes from three to five months to ripen, and ripening does not occur during the winter. Pine nuts ripen over a period of two years, and are a much more valuable product for human health. Pine nuts may completely replace any product, but there is no single product that can replace pine nuts. Pine nuts have long been used in various cuisines of the world; they are held in high regard for their unique taste and medicinal properties. With an amazing slightly sweet taste containing hints of milk, pine nuts have been used both in main dishes and desserts. The nuts have always been a delicacy and a much sought-after ingredient at the tables of nobles and kings. Modern science has studied the chemical composition of pine nuts and explained their usefulness. Pine nuts are the absolute record-holders for containing the most vitamins. For example, in one hundred grams of nuts there are forty-eight recommended daily doses of high-quality vitamin B2; so, to make up a deficiency of this vitamin, you only need to eat two grams of pine nuts a day. One hundred grams of pine nuts also contain twenty-two recommended daily doses of natural vitamin B1, and forty percent of the recommended daily dose of organic folic acid and vitamin PP. With regard to minerals, pine nuts are no less amazing. Two hundred grams of pine nuts contain the recommended daily dose of magnesium. These nuts are also rich in potassium, phosphorus, and copper. The protein content of pine nuts is much richer than chicken, pork or ham. Pine nuts also contain all amino acids, including the essential amino acids, as well as those that are important for children, such as arginine and histidine. The balanced protein of pine nuts is so close to the protein compounds of human tissue that 99% of this protein is capable of being assimilated by the body. Siberian pine nuts are a concentrated source of vitamins E and P. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, capable of neutralizing the oxidizing processes in the body. As a result of its action, the level of blood cholesterol is lowered, and the body is rejuvenated. Pine nuts contain much more vitamin E than other popular products, such as olive oil, wheat germ oil, or coconut oil. Group E vitamins, or tocopherols, are very important and essential for ensuring full transmission of genetic material. Translated from the Greek, tocopheral means “I bear offspring.” The most important and significant factor in pine nuts is their content of up to 70% of valuable fats of plant origin of all three types: saturated, monosaturated, and polyunsaturated, including a high quantity of the rarest, and therefore the most valuable fatty acid, Omega-3. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are contained in pine nuts in an ideal proportion, practically 1:1 Popular scientific literature also points out that the quality of pine growing in Northern areas is much higher than those in the South. Back in 1792 academician P. S. Pallas wrote that the Siberian pine nuts rejuvenate man's power. They also bring back youthfulness, stimulate the immune system considerably, increasing the physical body's resistance against many diseases. World history knows a great number of historical phenomena directly or indirectly connected with pine. Here is one of them. A half literate countryman, Gregory Rasputin, from a remote Siberian village, was from the region where Siberian pine grows. He came to Moscow in 1907 when he was already 50 years of age. He startled the royal family, where he was heartily welcomed, because of his prophecies; He was sexually involved with many distinguished ladies. Those who were trying to kill him were shocked by the fact that having been hit by many bullets, he was still alive. His vitality was amazing. The secret was that he had been brought up in the region where pine grows and he had been fed on pine nuts. The journalists of that period summarized his endurance: “At 50 years of age, he could start an orgy at noon, continuing his drunken ordeals till 4 a. m. After erotic involvement and drinking heavily he went right to church for morning services where he prayed till 8 a.m. After returning home, he drank a lot of tea as if nothing had happened before, Grishka received visitors till 2 p.m. Then accompanied by a group of ladies, he went to a Russian bathhouse with a steamer and then went directly to a suburban restaurant. There he repeated the previous night's performance. No ordinary man could possibly stand up to that kind of routine”. Today, the several times world and Olympic champion in wrestling Alexander Karelin, is also a Siberian, again from the region where Siberian pine grows. The strong man has eaten pine nuts all his life”
