I fell on this obstacle twice this weekend!!!! No foot grip possible thanks to water and mud. The comment below about a "half an inch of slippery mud..." Tells the whole story!
Helps to have long arms, flexible hips (after running X miles) and a dry wall. With that said I rung the bell on this one for the first time at Charlotte a couple weeks ago. I actually used the chains to help accomodate for the aforementioned biomechanical issues.
Extending the arms and leaning back is great... until your feet slip from the mud wall, you faceplant into the wall, and bc you're tall your feet hit the ground and it's a fail.
I can do this very well in training, but the one used on the actual course is way too slippery and I can't get a foot grip on the wall. I need a hack for that

I am currently 0 for 1 on this obstacle. Hopefully it's at the Ohio beast in June. I really would like to beat this one.

What are some exercises to work on this
Just like that!!

Use holds only no chains
keep arms straight
Feet high
I like how he's breathing hard just talking about it...try with after 5 miles, 15 obstacles and mud lol
What's the hack?
use holes only (which is pretty obvious)
ok - now cover it in mud so your feet cant stick, then what is the hack lol
