dude sick! ive been doing monkey bars everyday for like two months i will definitely be implementing the side swings, inverted rows, crawls. I've already done tons of hangs and pulls thanks!
No not at all 😊 by all means go for gloves if you wish! I just stay away from them because many competitions don’t allow them and I just think it’s good to condition the hands up! If that’s not important to you and you want to just enjoy the monkey bars without ripping your hands (which will happen without gloves) then there’s nothing wrong with that 💪🏼😊🐒
Biggest problem with these exercises is _finding_ a workout station! So few councils willing to pay for installation of such a longterm facility. My nearest is 24 miles round trip, then 55 miles.
Thanks Dave 💪🏼 good tips! These sort of workouts haven’t been the norm recently but hopefully now with less restrictions I’ll be able to get out more so your tips will come in useful I’m sure 👍🏼
Taught me some moves I never even thought of plus I like your advice to practice to build up strength. Your vid will inspire me to try some of those moves especially the Side Swings and the Upside Down Crawl.....Thanks Rikki
I noticed you do not utilize your thumb in some moves, mostly transitions in direction I think? Is not using your thumb when attempting 2 handed hops advisable in case I miss calculate and break the thumb?
Hi Bob, it all depends with me, sometimes it feels more comfortable to go thumb under sometimes thumb over. The thickness of the bars play a factor as does how smooth/sticky they are! I even sometimes grip one hand differently to the other. Go with what feels best for you. I’ve not heard of anyone breaking their thumb from this but I guess it could happen
They just installed some monkey bars in the park near me, and I;ve really been enjoying them so far. What would you recommend in terms of reps/rest time between each exercise?
That’s good to hear 😊💪🏼🐒 It all depends on what you’re training for?! If it’s just enjoyment I would say go as long as you can and rest for as long as you need! For speed, work on shorter sets, maybe 10-20 seconds with good rest in between. For endurance, build up the sets to a minute or more and gradually reduce the rest time to 30 seconds or less
If your question relates more to the Bodyweight exercises in this video then I would say aim for 15-20 reps With Bodyweight though exercise intensity can vary greatly so you could maybe just go until you reach failure of good form 💪🏼
Man love this video ! I try my best to imply monkey bars into my workout as much as possible.. but after a killer time in the gym they get rough fast ! Love the new exercises you showed me I’ll definitely be showing my brother !
And I’m from the south in the United States 🇺🇸 and can understand you perfectly I think the people saying they can’t understand you are from non English speaking countries !
Hi Marshall T Any upper body bodyweight movements can act as a good warm up to monkey bars, like the ones you’ll see in this video for example. However if you check out the video below you’ll see some more specific hanging drills that can be used th-cam.com/video/BIEFIg87PT0/w-d-xo.html ☝🏼Hanging drills from 2.51 onwards Also take a look at my “monkey bars” playlist on the channel and I’m sure you can find out everything you need to know about monkey bar workouts 😁🐒 Thank you 👊🏼🥷🏻

How long would you recommend each outdoor monkey gym sesh until you’ve gotten used to training? 🤔💭 Thank you so much for this video, it was awesome! 👍🏻
Thank you 🙏🏼 you are welcome 😊 It all depends really! Probably in the beginning just go as long as your hands might allow! To use as a guide though, you could do sets of 30-60 seconds and maybe somewhere like 3-6 sets in total! For all the other exercises something like 3-4 sets of 10-15 reps is probably a good framework 💪🏼 I have a video coming later that touches upon training protocols relating to goals and how long to work for depending on what your goals are 🐒 be sure to check it out!

They’re a great piece of equipment 🐒 lots of fun to be had!
Thank you sooo much for this video! I love finding alternatives for monkey bars!
You’re welcome 😊 always my pleasure I hope it proves to be useful 💪🏼
Will using grip gloves ruin the whole thing?

Yes very true @ant7936 we need more out there ✊🏼
Let’s get a movement going 🐒💪🏼
You can file down the callouses on your hands and moisture your hands between climbs to avoid too many ‘flappers’ and splits.
Thanks Dave 💪🏼 good tips!

I mean look at that thumbnail, those abs really look dope, that alone got me moving and thanks I can do side swings now! Yes!
Ha ha thanks ☺️ that’s awesome 💪🏼 glad to hear it 🥷🏻
Man watching this really makes me miss the monkey bar i had near my house. Swinging around was so fun
They are great fun! That’s a shame, hopefully you can find some more to have another go 💪🏼
Didn't know there were so many moves for this bar .. tq mate
You’re welcome I hope it’s useful 😊
NEW one coming out in the next couple of days 💪🏼🐒
Should I not wear workout gloves when doing this for now on?
Yeah you probably won’t need them now!
They could still be useful when it’s wet or if you had to protect an injury 💪🏼
This is also really good for your back.
Yes there’s definitely a number of good exercises on the bars to work the back 💪🏼
They just installed some monkey bars in the park near me, and I;ve really been enjoying them so far. What would you recommend in terms of reps/rest time between each exercise?

@@rikkinetic so can i do weight training first and then start playing monkey bar and get a results?
Yes I would say so
What do you mean by results?
@@rikkinetic i mean the result is the muscle gainz

I love free weights, but I can’t deny, when it comes to getting the lats of an eagle, calisthenics is the way to go
Lots of good can come from both methods of training for sure 🙏🏼😊💪🏼
@@rikkinetic absolutely
Ye made it look effortless
Thank you 😊 it’s something you enjoy more the more you do and the better you get 🐒
So perfect motion 💪
Thanks very much 🙏🏼😊🐒
Cool - Thanks
You are welcome 😊💪🏼🐒
my hands hurt now
Yeah they’ll do that 🙈 the more you do the monkey bars the more your hands become conditioned for it! Hopefully the enjoyment as weighs the pain?!
i train calesthetics so do some of these anayways
Good stuff 💪🏼 glad to hear it! It’s a good way to train 😎 keep flying the flag
@@rikkinetic cheers mate i have been working on it and going gym and all that since christmas and now im a built guy. in september 2022 im going into the infantry so i need to be built anyways
Very cool, that takes dedication I’m sure you’ll do well 💪🏼
Awesome!
Thank you 🙏🏼😊💪🏼🐒
Can you please give me the measurements for the monkey bar
I will find out for you
These ones are approx. 8 feet high and maybe 12 feet in length with probably a foot between bars
@@rikkinetic Thanks a lot ...
Nice
Thank you 😊🙏🏼💪🏼
