Max ladder progression

[smurray47]

Hey folks,

Was hoping to get some advice on the best way to train for progression in the max ladders. I just started the intermediate power routine from the book.

I can do B1-R3-L5-B5 no problem, as well as B1-R4-L5-B5 (and the opposite side of course) on both medium and large rungs. Is it generally considered easier to go 1-3-6, or 1-4-6? Both of these seem totally impossible and out of reach for me at this point, even on the large rungs. Even if I start "halfway" into it with one hand on 4 and the other on 1, I can't generate enough power with the bottom hand to go all the way from 1-6. 

Thanks for the tips! It just feels frustrating that I can repeat 1-4-5 with almost 100% success, but 1-4-6 feels ridiculously hard.

IMO 1/3/6 is a lot easier but you ought to work both. Also try some offset pullups and muscle ups to build the underlying strength, in addition to the power.

This thread may help answer some of your questions. The TL/DR version is that you need to work on pushing instead of pulling with the lower hand.

I think 1-3-6 and 1-4-6 are pretty close, but would say 1-3-6 is slightly harder.

I think that 1-4-7 is harder than 1-5-7 - personally, basically because the longer moves on the one arm have less to gain momentum - easier to get the big move off two hands at the beginning.

I can do 1-5-6, and have hit 1-5-7 in the past, but still can't get 1-4-7.
