Empire Ladder tests full-body coordination and controlled movement as you climb up and over angled metal bars. Keep your hips close to the structure to stay balanced, use your legs to step rather than pulling only with your arms, and move one point of contact at a time. At the top, stay calm and stable — swing one leg over first before shifting your weight to descend. To train for it, practice step-ups, pull-ups, and core stability work to stay strong and efficient on the climb.
