I just noticed that your hands don’t wrap around the whole bar instead it looks like just a C grip with only the tips of your fingers holding on?

[@rikkinetic]

There’s probably a number of reasons for this!
1) naturally adopted it because it’s currently more comfortable for my arm
2) the techniques I’m doing. The full swing I’d be more likely to wrap my hand around.
3) how close the bars are to each other. I’d have to go over the bar and down under it within a shorter space

Great video. It took me 4 months to build up my strength at age 70 to do the monkey bars…well worth it to embarrass my kids who can’t do them..ha,ha.

I love the monkey bars. Its just hard to find a gym that have them. And there arent many calisthenic parks in my area

Hey
We just discovered you a couple of months ago. We're in our mid 50's and you inspired us to use the monkey bars. Started off by hanging, to one-handed hangs to swinging from bar to bar. Quick question how can I stop the callouses on the hands. We do use chalk

[@rikkinetic]

Hi Mike! Awesome to hear 💪🏼
You can’t really stop them, you just have to manage them
Chalk only really helps with grip ✋🏼🤚🏼
I at one stage used to shave off my calluses when I was training for the longest monkey bars.
Not sure if you would’ve seen this video yet?
My advice around hand management would be in there 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
