Double Towel Hangs
Symmetric towel grip for increased instability, enhancing forearm endurance like climbing.
Standards
LEVEL 1: 2 Holds of 30 Seconds
LEVEL 2: 2 Holds of 50 Seconds
LEVEL 3: 3 Holds of 60 Seconds
Do 3 Sets, holding for as long as you can each time. The levels above are standards you can use to measure your progress. Rest 2-3 minutes between Sets.
If you struggle to hit Level 1 after a few weeks of trying, try using a regression shown below or use an easier variation.
Form Cues

Tutorial
Drape two towels over bar.
Grip each one hand.
