Hi Andrew
you shouldn't be so hard on the undulating ropes. I have a set I use with my clients and they are a cool conditioning tool. The people I train like them because it is fun, easy on the joints, and really hard work. For people who have leg injuries, or need to take it a bit easy on the lower body for a while it is a great alternative.
When the weather gets warmer here in Melbourne I plan on doing some conditioning circuits using my prowler (lower body obviously) and the ropes (upper body). I can't see them helping your vert much (unless you need to drop some weight), but for people who need grip strength and general shoulder/upper body strength endurance such as say - an MMA fighter, it would be a good training tool.
That said, I am with you on the skipping rope. I love mine and wish I could get more people using them. I have just ordered a weighted one and am looking forward to having a play around with it.
I am voting for you being a grouch. So is the Thinker. ;D
Jack
