Learning and conquering
Step 2: Practice going across, basically I started taking it one bar at a time, moving one hand to the next bar and then the next. Of course this isn't as smooth as I would like and my legs are swinging, it takes a little longer but at least I am doing it. Plus it doesn't matter how long it take you to get across, as the bonus is that the longer it takes the more grip strength, upper body strength and overall holding your own body weight strength you build. It took some time to build up my confidence and the ability and still just jumping up and hanging is still a mind game, but once I have done it I just try and do it. I have been trying this for a few weeks now, and as soon as I felt confident enough I moved onto step 3.
Step 3: I have built up enough confidence now and have moved onto swinging from one bar to the next, this of course should make it a little quicker to get through. My grip is still a little tight and I can feel it along the palms, but I am hoping that it will get easier, I just have to keep trying. At the end of the day, the more I try the easier and more natural it will become.
