You can usually adjust the length of your rope.

Put one foot on the rope. The handles should reach your armpits when pulled up. Thats a decent length I find.

I agree...that's how I was taught in elementary school and it has worked ever since.

a rope can be too short, but it can't be too long, as mentioned you can always adjust a rope to your liking.
