Monkey Bars

Horizontal bars, often uneven in height and spacing, sometimes rotating.

Technique

1. Hands facing forward, full grip; use a lateral or forward swing.
2. Skip bars if you can – fewer grips, less fatigue.
3. Keep the core tight so the swing stays controlled.
4. On rotating bars grip the top and move fast.

Common mistakes

• Pausing on each bar.
• Hanging with straight, locked elbows for too long on wet bars.

Penalty when failed: 30 burpees
