Climbing Rope Using Legs:

Using your feet properly makes you an efficient climber and reserve your upper body energy. Here are some techniques we are going to discuss this step by step.

Step 1:The first is gym class lock, this is what we do when we are climbing a rope in a gym or on the playground as a beginner. This is mainly a basic way of climbing a rope with two feet. This is also not very efficient and helpful and it requires most of your upper body strength because more pressure you have to put on your upper body than your legs and in this process, your legs cannot break and lock the rope properly. For doing this exercise you have to reach your arms up overhead to grab the rope and then jump on your feet up and squeeze your feet together very hard and try to grip the rope using your feet.

Then put your hands up higher by push up using your legs. Hold the rope tightly and tap on the top of your knee to hold it between your legs again.

This way you have to continue climbing the rope using your legs to push up by squeeze the rope between your feet and keep moving your hands upwards.

But this process is not very efficient because here you have to put a lot of pressure on your upper body strength.

Step 2: The next trick is basic warp and lock; this is a trick what many people like to use most. Because it’s not really hard to do. This process makes the climbing very quickly and also allows you to break the rope easily by using your legs while climbing.

For doing this exercise you have to reach your hands up overhead and have to fall down the rope to the center of your body.

Squeeze your knees as you press on the other leg for free, and lower your dominant leg with your rope. You need to squeeze your feet together even when pushing up and pressing down, this will lock the rope in place.

Now you have to push up using your hands and strain your legs to reach upwards. More you push your knees upwards and then lock, the more your legs push off to help you climb. This is an easy process for climbing rope.

Step 3: The next process is called the Spanish style warp and lock; this is really a secure one and it also allows using your hips when you climbing. For doing this exercise you have to work your dominant leg up and then back off the rope then the rope goes behind.

Fold your dominant legs back and forth so that the rope goes to your back and then to the front of your hips and to the top of your feet as you did for the step and stand. Reach your hands up and pull the rope and bald the knees with the rope. So, this is also an easy way to perform this exercise without using the strength of our upper body.

Conclusion: The thing which is making you faster for climb rope is you need a very strong upper body. If your upper body is strong enough then you can climb the rope without using your feet and maybe it makes your climbing faster than others. So, you always don’t need to depend on using your feet every time.
