What Muscles do Monkey Bars work?

[@mehakverma7043]

Me, a frail girl that can barely get past 3 monkey bars at the park, watching a buff guy slay the monkey bars: "hm yes, interesting"

[@rikkinetic]

Ha ha ☺️ thank you 😃💪🏼

[@NightTimeDay]

Lol literally same. Getting up to 3 monkey bars has been something I've been "training" for 😂

[@rocky3722]

Nice tricks and variations.

[@rikkinetic]

Thank you 🙏🏼😊

[@DanesinTexas]

Very solid vid!

[@rikkinetic]

Thank you 😊🐒

[@moovintruespace]

Great video and informative. Where abouts is this in England?. South east no doubt. We have something similar in Regents Park inner circle but nothing as good as this!

[@rikkinetic]

Thank you 🙏🏼😁 Yeah this is more south central/south west, sunny Dorset in fact 😎 We are lucky to have this set up here and a few similar others close by 🐒

[@stojko1972]

Upside down crawl - a beautiful universal exercise.

[@stojko1972]

And the last part of the video is also very encouraging 🤩💪

[@rikkinetic]

Yea indeed 😁💪🏼🐒

[@rikkinetic]

Thank you happy to hear it 💪🏼

[@pauleyb2711pb]

To be able to perform such tough workouts is amazing! The ability to lache with such fluidity is nothing short of remarkable! The last exercise hanging BENEATH the monkeybars is outstanding in its movement and simplicity but no doubt is extremely difficult and will take a long time to master! And who wouldn't want a pair of swinging hips like those?!

[@rikkinetic]

+Paul Bessant thank you Paul Practice makes perfect 😊💪🏼 The upside crawl certainly is challenging

[@Jtzist]

At my gym , I'm the only one that use the monkey bars. I use them evrytime I go to the gym. I'm so good at going back and forth I need someone else to go with me to motivate me even more. Probably the other clients seem like they don't want to use them. There are 12 bars. I can go back and forth forwards or backwards at least 4 or 5 times without falling. That is 48 to 60 bars.

[@rikkinetic]

That’s awesome 😊💪🏼 I’m sure others in your gym are inspired and impressed to see that!

[@katehu7194]

OMG. I was no doubt stronger when I was a princess of the jungle gym. I definitely miss those days. Need to get back to them!

[@rikkinetic]

I’m sure you can 😊💪🏼 sounds like a fun time 👑🐒

[@Valhalla_adventures]

Great video. What’s the name of the background music if you don’t mind me asking?

[@rikkinetic]

Thanks Dan 😊 Which part are you referring to? All the music comes from Epidemic sound which is a monthly subscription site that’s allows use of royalty free music! It’s likely some from Tigerblood Jewel though as I like their stuff as use their tracks a lot

[@Rakattack-tx9yw]

Hello I’m mr O. Rangutan. I’ve been doing this since birth!

[@rikkinetic]

Ha ha hello 🦧 Awesome 💪🏼 keep it up 🐒

[@gunner1357]

I made my first jungle bars with the measurements you gave me using the same exercises and the results were perfect and I decided to expand the gym that's why I gotta ask do you have the measurements for this one???thanks👍

[@rikkinetic]

Oh nice 😊 good work I’m sure you’ll have fun with them 💪🏼

[@themagicofcompounding9197]

Can we do these on daily basis else like gym exercise 2 to 3 times for muscle growth?

[@rikkinetic]

Monkey bars aren’t really a muscle growth exercise. I’ll link a video down below which might help to explain that. They may help to grow muscles to a certain extent but they’re essentially an activity rather than a training method. Most people don’t play tennis to build the chest and back muscles for example 💪🏼 It can potentially be done daily but there will be a point where you would need to rest! Activity is always best when it’s varied to help avoid overuse injuries 🐒 The training methods you didn’t pay attention to? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGPSXo2Ip5eMb8U

[@EriPages]

Nice.

[@rikkinetic]

Thank you 🙏🏼😊

[@hoppop7047]

I wanna add monkey bars training in my training menu!

[@rikkinetic]

Ha ha they’d be a good addition to any menu 😃 Come and join the monkey bar troop 🐒💪🏼

[@d.j.105]

Hey hows it going, I had a question. ? I have a thoracic pain after sleeping and have a camel hump on my cervical, will hanging from a bar and progressing in these workouts and just in general playing on the monkey bars realign my spine ? Thanks!

[@rikkinetic]

That’s a good question! Hanging type exercises may help I would definitely advise doing some more specific posture work though. Check out my “Workout Tips” playlist and look for the posture video and/or the “Build a strong back” vid In either of those you will find exercises I use a lot myself and with clients to improve posture. I’d highly recommend those exercises

[@AtulEngineer]

Does monkeys bars also train abs??

[@rikkinetic]

Yes for sure 💪🏼 the abs & obliques will hold and control the pelvis 😊

[@hannahcruz6776]

Did it good also for scoliosis?

[@rikkinetic]

I believe any exercise that is balanced can be good for scoliosis! Start off slow and try to keep things as balanced and as even as you can! It could be argued that everyone has a degree of scoliosis and by being stronger can only be a good thing 😊💪🏼

[@rikkinetic]

Do what you can in order to correct it and then work in the monkey bars gradually

[@hannahcruz6776]

Thank you so much

[@pjk7685]

what about turning in circles as your cross each monkey bar :D or doing monekybars backwards?

[@rikkinetic]

Yes 😊 very good suggestions! I will look at these in future videos 💪🏼 Thank you

[@GIFoss]

Place the first hand that reach the last bar overhand and then swing around the fist hand to place the second hand to the other direction, the second hand has to go around the first hand and then let go of the first hand when you have rotated to go back.

[@MonkeyBarsEveryday]

monkey bars have blown up my teres maj/min

[@rikkinetic]

As in increased size? 💪🏼

[@MonkeyBarsEveryday]

@@rikkinetic yessir 🦾🐵

[@rikkinetic]

[@vladkornienko7889]

Monkey muscles obviously!

[@rikkinetic]

Ha ha yes 😃🐒

[@cheguevara5560]

There is much more you can do on monkey bars ...this is to basic

[@rikkinetic]

Thanks Che Check out my other videos as I’ve done several, maybe you’ll find what you were looking for! But also, I’d love to learn some more too so please share any non basic stuff you have or you can do on the bars, I’d love to have a go 💪🏼🦍
