It’s the grip that makes it challenging here, wrists press down on super a rough granite surface, you can’t use your fingers and opposite thumb as on a pullup bar.
An alternative would be to pull up and place the forearms on top and pull from there, which we call the “Pop-Up” in MovNat; it’s equivalent to a muscle up (which we call the “Power-Up”) hanging from your forearms. Not as fast but a bit easier.
And some to say: “ why not walk around 🤷🏻♂️?” and yes, you can always take that route. But then why climb, why jump, why run, why move? Who needs it?
My mindset is physical capability and preparedness. You aren’t ready without training and you’re only ready for what you train for.
For instance if you only do pull-ups (that’s already great!) that doesn’t mean you can or could so a muscle-up. And if you can do muscle ups on a pullup bar, does that mean you can do that one hanging from your wrists on a rough rock?
What do you see yourself be capable of? In what context? And why in the first place? Those are the questions. Those moves are my answers.
My physical training is the rehearsal of both my questions and answers. Most importantly, I need my answers!
