- Monkey bars can be one of the hardest challenges at obstacle races and require a certain level of upper body and grip strength. However there are a few techniques that can help you along your way. We're joined by Doug "The Beard" Spence from Dirty Dozen Races for this tutorial.
So easy to do as a kid, much harder as a heavy adult
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.
@@nabranestwistypuzzler7019 I’m 21, haven’t done monkey bars in ages but always been able too, used to do weighted dips and stuff. I’m going to start doing monkey bars with added weight and improve
Amen
Same here
You guys could do it as a kid?
I saw plenty of people fall doing #3. The bars and your hands will be wet, and you can easily slip out
The first time I made it across the Sawtooth bars at the savage race it felt like pure awesomeness! I'm only 5'3 so I went with the straight on approach bicycling my legs the whole time. Wish I could bottle that feeling up and drink it everyday!
Wait douse youre hight Mater If youre doing thes cuz i'm 5'2💀
@@Wonyoung_fan_number1 because seven years ago when they started creating these obstacle course races, they made the obstacles way too high for shorter people to get a good start on.
I do this down the kids park. Great fun, hard at first but feels great once you get it. Good mental challenge too as you have to not worry about looking like the weird man in the park.
I can do it even though i weigh a lot, just cant hang in one place, gotta keep swinging
Need to do this during my standard obstacle course in the army. With helmet, webbings and rifle
When I was a kid I didn’t know how to climb the monkey bars oh wait. I am still a kid.
Why is the first guy kicking forward as if he’s pedaling in a way? Does it help with something??
THERE. Now I have watched this video.
I can't do it because I not strong enough to hold my weight
Skittles girl 👧
you must do grip training before you start, and you need to go faster when you are loosing grip.
same
i can hold for like 20 seconds with both hands when im using when i can only hold on for like 2 seconds so i have half or your problem
I'm 22 and I've never been able to do monkey bars, even as a kid. And I was a pretty healthy kid too, always playing sports and exercising. Idk what it is about monkey bars...
It's all in the grip once you have good grip you can do flips and handstands as well 😎
Im late, but try learning how to use your scapulae (the showder/back bone)
Dude when I was 7 my whole school raced each other on monkey bars and boy those kids were fast and they did "tricks" I became the fastest in my school lol.
I can't do them but at my local park their are only like 4 bars so I can reach to the end and pull my self to the other side or I can just climb on top of them, slide a across then jump down
I'm a wimp and when I was at the playground trying to face my fears, when I got a hold of the first bar I freaked out and got back onto the steps because I'm not used to the way it feels and it makes me feel like I wanna throw up
what happens if you fall
+Anonymous Secret In the race the pit is filled with water :)

Then you get up
I think my problem is grip strength. I can get across some of the rungs but I spend too much time trying to get a good grip before I move to the next rung.
Turns out this is one of the most important exercises to maintaining balance as you grow older. Like jogging, it is a very good exercise to keep up.
If you had fallen, what would you have fallen into? Something soft?
why does these type of vids never work for me . is it because my body doesnt have enough strength?
Outmuscle Your Fork yeah, no one will question a person talking to another while hanging
I can't hang with one hand so I would try forgetting you can't do it think about being happy then quickly take your hand off the bar and put it on the next remember do it as quickly as possible
I used to not be able to do the orangutan, or the monkey bars itself, but I’ve been doing a lot of muscle workouts, cuz I’m almost like a stick if u saw me irl, but now I can finally do the orangutan
Did you do arm and chest workouts bc im trying to get good at the orangutan
Video starts at 1:00
Can I use Reebok training glove for it?
Great advice!
he makes that look so painful
It's really not trust me 😂
@@no_justno3066 I know it's not so why is he grimacing
Great video
What is underneath the bars? Is it a huge hole???
I would love to build one of these. How long is your structure for the money bars?
I use to skip two at a time as a kid.
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!!
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.
Thanks.
i want to do that
Great!!!
I'm in grade 3 and I go on monkey bars on the play ground! I have loads of blisters
How was grade 5
Same
And now grade 6
I used to be able to do monkey bars but now I can’t.
My hands sweats
I now how to do it but not like that
At school i tey to skip bars but to hard
I can do monkey bars just wanna get better at em
I know how to jump t9 the monkey bars
很精彩
The only problem I have is scraping my arms until they're all red. I have the strength, but I literally rip my skin apart.
***** get good gloves
+Mythrintia keep doing it , the skin will get tougher.
put lotion on your skin (or you get the hose again)
Eu sou o comentário brasileiro que tu tava procurando
❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹❤❤
I'm fat man
Try
Best way to do monkey bars is like a gibbon. Watch how gibbons do it.
anyone 2018
Ambika Baral nope, now get out
I can skip on the monkey bars
I can,t hold my self
Bro is am 12 I can hold like 2 min
Or I can just skip three bars at a time and do four…
I’m 12 and ik how to do all :) cause I’ve always loved monkey bars and climbing
I've tried and I think it might have to do with the fact that I have very little upper body strength. Thanks for the techniques though.
It’s all in the grip
I used to be able to do that all the time when I was elementary school and now I’m 21 I can barely hold on😭😭😭
Never been able to do these with any technique sadly.
I'm loving the videos! Gearing up for my very first Spartan Race and recording every step of my training and nutrition on my channel. Any input you have would be welcome! Again, great stuff!
I still hoped the second guy would have faceplanted into the hole
I’m 13 and I can do all the monkey bars. I use the last technique hella funnnnn
Same
@@forgottenhomesofcanada7886 Damn you’re luckkyy
Im 13 and ever since I was a kid,I was never able to do monkey bars
@@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
It should be highlighted that the first technique (sideways) is the safest for slippery bars. I have fallen using other techniques on slippery bars in mud races, and my grip is strong.
I do the orangutan swing ! #1& 2 can only do a Couple of them
i do a straight on crab haha
My grip strength sucks.
2Hot2Handle same
pls give me some tips ..
My grip strength is fine my upper body strength is 💩
Me too
Hand on a bar for 1 minute with your feet not touching the ground everyday
I use the last version. Hella fun.
Can't do that because I'm 2 short
I feel left out im 12 i cant climb tree or do monkey bars cus i dont have that much power and when people do it im like ☹
I do the orangutan one
Climbing a high tree. Best thing ever
@@no_justno3066 I get scared of going up higher than 7’-10’ in trees a lot of the time and I just drop down.
@@nabranestwistypuzzler7019 oh well it really depends on the tree lol if the branches are sturdy I'ma go as high as possible
@@no_justno3066 I’m scared of climbing back down.
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!
Make a video if you still do monkey bars.
I can close a captain of crush #3 and I can't do monkey bars.
The legs dont help its better if you don't move them just sway them from side to side and use momentum
funny
Good vid though
No swinging and legs straight is what I was thought.
Lol I'm shorter than those guys and I miss like 3 bars (each one is like 30 cm apart from each other), yes I swing using the orangutan method
Thank you I can do it
Good day mate!
I am more faster then him
Man i suck at these
Bruh is that price
How
Rz
The third technique is the one that was my natural one. Also tried the second technique, that failed because I could not keep my arms bend to reach to the next bar.
They are all easy for me
First, why do they have a monkey bar pit??? Why.......
It's kinda of odd because I look a stick but I can hold on to a tree bit of a long time
If you were strong you could do it lol. Love the brutal honest
So grippy fingerless gloves work?
I like the last last one. So fun
Thank You!
Im 14 years old and i know how to go on monkey bars easily without having to learn any techniques
i used to be one of the most athletic kids in my grade, then quarantine hit. but i'm doing better with dieting and staying active so i should be back in shape in a few months.
Did you get in shape?
For some reason, when I touch the monkey bars my vision makes the floor look like it’s REALLLLLLLY high so I get paralyzed in my spot
I know i am 2 years later, but if you even do monkey bars anymore a good thing to do is try not to look or focus on the ground just focus on the monkey bars.
would be nice if there were some women in the tutorials but thank you for the videos they're really helpful.
Jessica Snz I agree
There are plenty, watch some of the other ones ;) ruclips.net/p/PLqWOA9B8OAYNfHbiZaX_d6Hubr4GZbgrP
Jessica Snz Why would you need women anyways? The techinque is the same no matter the gender
I did not make the comment as any kind of statement. The technique may be the same but the way women approach certain scenarios is different. My comment was more towards tutorials such as getting over the walls. That was all.
Women don't have the same kind of upper body strength as guys. Agreed!
