Rope Climb

• Reach up and grab the rope with both hands, your dominant hand should be at the top. Both of your hands should be in an overhand grip (palms facing towards you).
• Pull your body up off the ground by using your arms, while simultaneously wrapping the rope around one of your legs and securing it with the other foot. This is known as the 'J' hook or 'S' wrap technique.
• Push off the ground with your feet and use your arms and legs to climb up the rope. Your arms pull you up while your legs and core help to push upwards.

• The Alternating Hand Rope Climb requires you to use only one hand at a time, alternating as you ascend, which increases the difficulty and tests your grip strength.
• The Plyometric Rope Climb is a dynamic variation where you explosively pull yourself up, let go of the rope briefly, then catch it again, demanding both strength and coordination.
