      I’m 17 and I’m still fine with it and I can do laches and (ledge) muscle ups now, so I’ll just stay at a healthy weight and never stop training/playing outside. Also, you can just start working out/walking/playing outside/doing some small physical activity to try getting over small obstacles/whatever else you can do and just get better at it and lose weight over time, plus go into a caloric deficit.

  • @Ethrael81
    @Ethrael81 8 месяцев назад +1

    As a kid between ages 6-9, I woke up every day it didn't rain and was at the park swinging on the monkey bars. I started out slow and had hands covered in carpets of blisters. As time went on, I became stronger, faster, and I stopped getting blisters more serious than surface level. The technique I mastered was bunch my legs up under me and using each bars momentum to propell me to the next and twisting my body to compliment the counterweight, skipping one bar in between. By the time I was 9, I was moving across the bars faster than people could run. So fast that at the end of the 30 bar stretch I had a choice (assuming I was not holding back), to either latch the last rung and use my momentum to lift my body above the bars and step up or to let go and fly out 15 or so feet. The exhilaration one feels from the joy of doing something so well is beyond words. It ended when I outgrew the span between the bars, causing my forehead to connect and lay me out, staring up at the sky with a broken heart. For years after, though, it left me with ridiculous upper body strength. 7 one arm chin ups at 10 isn't bad! To this day I have very pronounced shoulders. The secret to building the speed is not holding on with more than one hand at any point. I enjoyed your video though!

      @@demonix2131 you'll get there. Try doing pullups to gain upper body strength if you can't do a pullup you can build up to it doing deadhangs, negatives, and scapula pullups which I recommend. You can also buy a resistance band for cheap to make the movement easier then just as you progress lower the resistance. I'd also recommend doing Bicep curls and pushups as arm strength matters alot.
      Overall I'd do a combination of pushups Bicep curls to start then use a resistance band for pullups while doing scapula raises aswell once you get proficient enough and can do chin ups which are easier I'd start doing them along side it aswell
      Edit: grip strength also matters alot but this will be build as you progress with what I said but if you want doing deadlifts with moderate weight can help with that but it's not necessary

    Is it better to wear gloves? The reason I ask is that I did an obstacle course event a couple of years ago and the monkey bars were really hot and it took the skin of my palms off. All the water obstacles were filled with salt water. It stung like hell. I know you have to go through a bit of pain doing these things but that took the piss!!

    • @Mudstacle
      @Mudstacle  7 лет назад +1

      That depends on the glove and the weather. A lot of gloves will be more slippery on the bars than your bare skin, especially if your hands are wet or muddy. Some are great - the wide receiver style. Toughest made some, of which one batch were great but if you buy the later ones they may fall apart.
