Climb Ups

You'll love how this exercise targets your whole body. I'll teach you the proper skills needed to use this as a strength-building exercise. You'll be using the Pole hold with both arms slightly overhead, creating more of a challenge for the upper body, so the grip you use matters. Training with this exercise will help prepare you for Pole climbs.

Suggested sets and reps: 8-15 reps, 2-4 sets, 3 times per week.
