Jump to the camber It is an ideal exercise, it does not demand much technique, you do not need a very specific material (there are combas for all tastes and budgets) and not even much space. It is also perfect to activate in a controlled way and execute a heating that raises our pulsations.
But if we wish there are also ways to turn Crossfit's Comba jumps, whether they are simple or double part of our training routines far beyond mere warming.
Until not long ago the camber It was reserved almost entirely for those who practiced martial arts, but with the arrival of high -intensity training type crossfit have returned to shop windows and have also evolved a lot in recent years. That is why today we are going to show you the different types of commits that exist and how to integrate them into your training.
Basic and classic Comba for Crossfit
Do not complicate, if you have a comma at home whatever it is, you are worth starting. Normally it will have rubber mangoes and the rope will be rubber, leather or nylon and considerable thickness, but none of this matters at the beginning. What counts is that you remind your body what is the gesture of jumping, begins very little and internalize if you want to continue to get some more specific commba.
Speed Comba for CrossFit
They are currently the most common in training centers and there are countless versions varying according to qualities and finishes. Their mangoes, according to the degree of quality are manufactured in plastic, fibers or metal (aluminum or steel), with more or less ergonomic shapes, and even many bring a roller that favors grip.
As for the rope, here we already passed a braided steel cable sometimes lined in plastic to extend its durability.
The thickness of the cable goes from the barely 1'4 mm to 2'5mm. The first of these or coating and is the fastest version, but wear is much higher in contact with the ground.
These combas are characterized by being tremendously light, both mangoes and cable, in addition, rotation bearings or mechanisms favor high repetitions making double or triple jumps much simpler than with a classic commba.
Without a doubt, if you do not have a previous one, this should be your first option.
CrossFit ballast comba
They are the evolution of the speed combas. What is done is add weight to the cable or mangoes. Some speed combas are already prepared to be tastable (they are usually those with metal handles).
The option to ballast the cable is to increase the thickness of this, for this the cable support mechanism must allow connecting cables of different diameters.
The thickness of the cable reaches measures up to 4mm thick
The other option, as we said, is to ballast the mangoes. This is done with small pesos (from the 25 grams per handle to the more than 200 grams) that either are introduced inside the handles or curling them, achieving weights that sometimes exceed 350grs per handle.
Jumping with a lasting comba converts an aerobic exercise into one of force by testing our forearms and shoulders. It is an ideal complement to improve and give variety to our training.
Heavy Comba for Crossfit
These combas come from other sports or training systems that seek an improvement in resistance mixed with force. Training is totally different, and stimuli too. With the Heavy combas The speed in the jump is sacrificed by a much greater power in the strokes.
Unlike the jumps with speed or even weighed, in the heavy, it is almost essential to involve the shoulders at a higher level, which takes our body to situations that I had not known before.
The heavy combas are made in one piece, their structure can be nylon or hemp type fiber, and their braided remembers the climbing ropes. The mangoes are achieved by the ends of the rubber rope itself.
Its length is not variable, and are usually available in 2 or three measures and pesos that range between kilo with 200 grams to 4 kilos. As you imagine the intensity with this element reaches a level in which double jumps become almost impossible.
Heavy or stretched speed
Finally, we arrive at a very recent creation, a mixture between the weighted combas and the heavy combas. Combine characteristics of both to generate an intermediate stimulus greater than that of a weighed and somewhat less than that of a heavy one. With this we get the intensity high but that in turn we can get movements as double jumps, even with some difficulty.
The structure of this Comba is visually similar to a hestrable, but the weight of it is unique, that is, it is not possible to vary it. This is distributed through a thick cable and heavy mangoes.
Having no option when exchange pesos is a very focused on sports competitions, since the standard is marked by the element and without interchangeable pieces its use is easier.
Conclusion:
How do you see the world of the Comba has a lot of rope! In addition to all these that are the ones that we find most in box and Crossfit competitions, there are acrobatic combas, combined with jumping accountant (this technology is not yet very achieved), or even Comba simulators without rope.
