Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of common impingement and labrum issues by addressing muscle imbalances.
Overhead Mobility: The "Mobility" protocol facilitates immediate improvements in overhead range of motion, essential for Olympic lifting and gymnastics.
Maintenance and Care
Cord Inspection: Regularly check the protective sleeves for any tears or fraying. If the internal cord is exposed or damaged, discontinue use immediately.
Cleaning: Wipe down handles and cords with a damp cloth. Avoid using oil-based cleaners or solvents on the rubber or elastic components.
Storage: Store in the provided gear bag when not in use. Avoid leaving cords in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as UV exposure can degrade the elastic properties over time.
Attachment Check: Ensure carabiners and mounting straps (Door Belts/Rack Straps) are securely fastened and show no signs of webbing wear before each session.
Warranty Information
Manufacturer Warranty: Crossover Symmetry typically provides a 2-year warranty on Crossover Cords against breakage under normal use.
Replacement: Individual components (cords, straps) can be replaced through Rogue Fitness or directly through Crossover Symmetry if they fail due to manufacturing defects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know which resistance level to choose?
A: Most active adults and CrossFitters should start with the "Athletic" package. If you are currently in physical therapy or are a youth athlete, the "Novice" package is recommended.
Q: Can I mount these to a standard 3x3" Rogue Rack?
A: Yes. If you select the "Rack Straps" mounting option, the SRS™ straps are designed to fit any stable pull-up rig or squat rack.
Q: What is the optimal spacing for the cords?
A: The cords should be spaced approximately 4 feet apart for the most effective resistance curve during the exercises.
Q: Are the cords safe if they snap?
A: Yes. The Crossover Cords feature a protective safety sleeve that contains the cord if it breaks, preventing it from snapping back at the user.
