  • Swing Smoothly: Use a controlled pendulum motion instead of reaching with stiff arms.
  • Grip Efficiency: Use a relaxed grip and tighten when transitioning to the next bar.
  • Legs for Stability: Slight leg swings help maintain forward momentum.

  • Dead Hang Training Helps: Long static holds improve endurance.
  • Hand Placement: Overhand grip is most stable—thumbs wrapped around for security.
  • Grip Strength Wins: Pull-ups and kettlebell swings improve bar endurance.

Q: Can I use my legs?
A: No, only hands may touch the bars—using legs results in failure.

Q: What happens if I fall?
A: You must restart from the beginning.

Q: How do I train for this?
A: Work on grip endurance, controlled swinging, and upper-body strength.
