for the rope pullups do you just take the rope that you would use for like tricep pushdowns and hold on to it without resting your hands on the big rubber end pieces if that makes sense?

from a charity event we do every year. I am going up against my buddy from school (Chad) who I train. He is currently knockin on the door of a 365 bench and pulls in the mid 5s consistantly. These charity events are always pretty fun.
Just doin' my thing.

I've just started the HE-MAN HOLDS from the floor.
As holding two bars with big 25Kg/55Lb plates on a rack with only 18" room to hold is uncomfortable. Besides it's faster when you only have to load one end.
I did one set of
25Kg/55Lb for 30secs
40Kg/88Lb for 12secs
45Kg/100Lb for 10secs
Counting was simply one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand,..etc.
It must be the angle because I could feel it hitting the flexors better than 225Lb on the rack.
Not sure if I should do it once or twice a week though ?
