Tips from Tough Mudder
Your hands will betray you in the cold, your upper body will scream on pull-up rigs, and monkey bars will test every ounce of grip strength you've got—unless you train smart. Tough Mudder didn't build their reputation by designing courses meant to humiliate; they've engineered them to push you toward your limits while giving you the playbook to get there. Learn the exact drills and conditioning strategies that separate race-day heroes from quitters.
Some obstacle courses seem like they want nothing more than to see you fail. Tough Mudder, on-the-other-hand, wants to prepare you as much as possible. One way they do that is by offering helpful tips on social media.
COLD HANDS
It's hard to function when we're cold, especially our hands. So, why don't we practice for cold weather challenges just like we practice for other obstacles?
PULL-UPs
They call them "Falling Stars." We call them reverse pull-ups. Whatever you call them, they are a great way to work towards proper pull-ups.
MONKEY BARS
It's not a question of whether there'll be monkey bars. The questions are when and how many. Be prepared.
