This download demonstrates the use of the High Intensity Rope Training System (H.I.R.T.S.) developed by Ivan Ivanov.

Stretchable bands (or tubing) resistant training has always been one of my favorite ways to build strength. My idea about developing the H.I.R.T.S trainer came mostly because I wanted to experience rope climbing training methods any place I wish to do my work out. The H.I.R.T.S can effectively train the same upper body muscles involved during hanging rope climbing and even more when using additional attachments. A great tool for total body workouts, the H.I.R.T.S. trainer can be adjusted to deliver multiple levels of training resistance. The tubing inside the protective sleeve is removable and color coded for ease of adjustment and maintenance. Each tubes color signifies a different level of resistance. The H.I.R.T.S trainer can be set to train athletes from a young age to world class levels.

The H.I.R.T.S has become the new torturing toy in our Olympic Wrestling Room. Our guys love it AND hate it! But nobody disputes its importance when we can see the impressive results. Ivan Ivanov
