Monkey Bars Workout | Obstacle Course Training

[@jimandrews4261]

this is great but how about actually practicing traversing the monkey bars

[@jakemccoy]

They showed those one-arm hangs because most people do not have ready access to monkey bars. A person can do those one-arm hangs anywhere there is a pullup bar, and they work effectively. They should have explained that.

Can you please do a video advising how to do monkey bars if you are child-sized? 5’0” tall, short wingspan, and 10 year old sized hands. I’ve never been able to do the Spartan monkey bars because they’re not just out of reach getting up there (the stool helps with that), they’re also too far to reach out to from bar to bar and my fingers don’t even get half way around I don’t think. Really sucks.

[@mireyasalinas8700]

I also need a video for this. I’m 4’8” and Spartan seems to think those helper stairs actually help everyone and they don’t.

just try the monkey bars, or find lower bars where you can just squat under them and try hanging while helping yourself with legs slightly, it takes 2-3 workouts just to practice the move and then boom you can do it... my friend can do only 1 proper pull-up yet she can go through monkey bars couple of times without any problem

I have done this twice now and love the challenge. BUT i just realized the last item is 10 rounds!!!....ok so I guess I wrote that down wrong and only did one round...lol I owe myself some more rounds on the next workout. (Or later today.)

[@IoelShemtov]

Alternating hangs problem: as soon as I let go one hand, that side of the body drops down. I can still hang on one hand for a few seconds but my other shoulder is too far down so the hand doesn't reach the bar.

how many times during the week do i need to do this to be ready

[@JocieFire]

I've been told 3 times a week, I've seen that as I work on push-ups- if I do less than 3x a week, my progress stalls :(

[@jeaninejollineau8057]

@@JocieFire IT's very upper body focused so in my opinion spacing it out twice a week (ie Thurs/Sun) and then have two lower body days (Sat/Tues) and one aerobic day - run and maybe incorporate blocks of burpees along the way (Wed) and one indoor climbing gym (Mon) or more general fun day. That gives you one rest day (Friday). Then you are diversifying the training to allow for rest intervals for each part of the body. That's my formula. I'm a former fitness instructor, and certainly not the fastest competitor out there, but this seems to be bringing results.

Comment on skin health on the palms of your hands. I've been getting callous rips and the more pull ups and monkey bars I do, the worse it gets. Anything I can do differently?

Where are the monkey bars

[@ForeverYoungKickboxer]

Chest must touch the ground, got it. Didn't look like yours did though.

[@strawberryyogurt0]

So you guys FINALLY used the Monkey Bars at 13:55 mark in the video. And it was simply a dead hang. Could have just used a pull-up bar. Nothing to see here for a ‘monkey bar workout’.’ Move along.

[@That_Survivalist]

I'm the like who got this video to 1k

[@theloon1019]

Dude looks like Jared from Manifest

They should have explained that. Even if you do have access, the chance of the monkey bars being clear for your entire 10 rounds is pretty low.

I have monkey bars in my school
