Training Methods for Climbing a Suspended Rope
I have been participating in Spartan Race for 2 years running. During each of those races there was an obstacle where I had to climb a suspended rope. Both times I was unable to complete the challenge and instead did the penalty burpees.
I don't want to fail the rope challenge again. However, I don't have a rope that I can practice with. What training can I do to overcome this?

Rope climbing is all about technique and efficiency. This youtube video should show you the correct technique to climb a rope efficiently:
Now because you don't have a rope to practice on, the best you can do is develop your strength and muscular endurance by throwing a towel over a pull up bar, grabbing onto the towel and doing pull ups until your fist touches your chest. You should generally be aiming to do at least 15 reps to develop the strength to climb a 15 ft rope.Terms of Use Privacy policy Contact About Cancellation policy © freshhoot.com2025 All Rights reserved.
