London Bridges

London Bridges is a fun but challenging movement that uses a rope and static bar to simulate a horizontal pull. It’s a favorite in obstacle training, and a great bodyweight test for lat strength, coordination, and grip.

Instructions

1. Secure a rope to an overhead beam and place a fixed bar or box beneath it to stand on.
2. While standing on the bar, grip the rope with both hands.
3. Lower your body back slowly, hand-over-hand, until your body is horizontal.
4. Keep your body straight, then pull yourself back up hand-over-hand to the starting position.
