Heel Repeaters

Problem selection:

Select a spray wall or a wall with lots of hands and feet. Start with good hands and feet and focus on learning to engage your legs. Don’t limit the footholds.

Because this is a very specific drill, sticking to open hands and feet as you progress makes sense. Slowly vary the intensity and distance of the heel hook rather than making the handholds harder.

Focus:

On each move, bring that side’s heel up to a hold off to the side. Weight the leg and move your hand, then walk your feet across and repeat on the other side.

Try to relax your arms and engage your leg as much as possible. “Folding out” your heel, by pointing the toe out to the side or even away from the wall, is a valuable technique for getting your hips closer to the wall.

Combination:

This is a general session and can be combined with any session. Perform after warming up and before any conditioning.
