Parallel bar walks for new gains
Give these a try and watch the new gains come! You can great results doing them just once per week. Try to do 3-5 sets of atleast 2 reps per set (forward/backwards = 1 rep)
How to make continuous progress with the same weight
1) Increase the FREQUENCY. Example: current routine: bicep curls Monday /Friday NEW routine: Bicep curls Monday/Wednesday/Friday. You are now hitting biceps 3 times per week as opposed to 2.
2) Increase the REPETITIONS: 3X8, 3X9, 3X10 etc…
3) Increase the SETS: 3X8, 4X8, 5X8 etc…
4) Decrease the REST PERIOD: week 1: rest 90 seconds between sets, week 2: rest 85 seconds between sets, week 3: rest 80 seconds between sets etc…
5) Manipulate the TEMPO: the average rep takes 2 seconds to complete (1 second on the positive and 1 second on the negative) start by increasing the negative to 2 seconds then 3 seconds then 4 seconds. Once you are doing 3 sets of 20 for example with a 4 second negative, you can start to increase the positive portion of the rep the same way until you are doing a 4 second positive and 4 second negative. You can also add static holds at different joint angles of the repetition. Example: Bicep curls with a 2 second pause at 90 degrees for 3 sets of 10 reps. Once that becomes easy increase the pause to 3 seconds.. etc…
6) Increase the DIAMETER of the handle by adding fat grip or hand towel’s. Work towards a 2 inch diameter.
7) PAIRING EXERCISES of the same muscle group. Example: bicep curls followed immediately by chin-ups to failure for 3 sets. You can also switch it up and do chin-ups first bicep curls second.
Follow these methods and you can make gains for many moons to come. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Basic Monkey bar exercises
The monkey bars are an excellent tool for developing grip strength and grip endurance as well as shoulder/scapular strength and mobility. These are just a few of the basic exercises that can be done. Incorporate these exercises a few times a month if possible to your routine at minimum and you will see good gains. I like to use them as a finisher but if the monkey bars are hard for you or you need to prioritize them for an upcoming event (tough mudder/spartan race or something similar) put it first in your routine.
Do 2-3 sets of each exercise resting 60-90 seconds between sets.
