Hello,
I am going to have a fitness test in next month, which requires climbing a horizontal ladder with hands only (feet off ground), it is too difficult for me and I am wondering what kind of strength exercises may help and muscles involved. Please advise!
Many thanks.
Alan

widegrip pullups should help strenghthen ur upper back. it will also help u practice lifting ur own bodyweight in preperation 4 the monkey bars!
