In the discussion about the method of climbing up and down a bar, the initial focus is on the proper grip and hold technique. It emphasizes the importance of getting comfortable with holding the bar before progressing to the climbing movement. The technique is likened to a cap balance, but is considered easier, and it's essential to maintain a compact position to facilitate movement. Stretching too far out can make it harder to maintain balance.

As one begins to climb, the instructions suggest keeping both hands and feet close to the bar for better stability. This proximity helps in managing the center of gravity effectively and makes the climbing process smoother. Practicing this technique repeatedly contributes to muscle memory and improves overall strength and coordination.

A drill that is recommended involves the repetitive motion of going up and down the bar, creating a rhythm and familiarity with the climbing process. This drill is designed to help climbers get used to the necessary positions and movements required for effective and efficient climbing. Overall, mastering this technique not only enhances physical capabilities but also boosts confidence in climbing activities.

Key Points:

  1. Proper grip and a compact position are essential for efficient climbing on the bar.
  2. Keeping hands and feet close to the bar aids stability and balance during the climbing motion.
  3. Repeated practice through drills enhances familiarity and muscle memory for smoother movements.

The Lesson

Using a bar/drainpipe/scaffolding/lamppost next to a wall, place both feet onto the side of the wall from with the bar between your legs.

Place both hands onto the bar and pull yourself up. Now climb up with both hands and feet 5-steps (heel-to-toe) up the pipe from where your feet started on the wall.

Drop once at the top position.

Bar must be circular and any width.

Repeat three times.

next step is climbing up the bar now

													

																									

														
11.24

														
it's very similar to a cap balance um

													

																									

														
15.92

														
it's easier than the cat balance but

compact um the the further you stretch

													

																									

														
47.32

														
out the harder it's going to be to

maintain that position um yeah try and

													

																									

														
52.92

														
stay with your feet and your hands close

everything nice and close to the pipe or

a really good exercise one uh drill you

													

																									

														
65.84

														
can practice is going up to down two up
