At 15’ feet high with huge spaces between the rungs, this is one ladder that will require all your coordination and courage to conquer on the Tough Mudder course. We’ve pulled together a Ladder To Hell training routine. Fear not it isn’t a devilish obstacle workout.

Ladder To Hell Training Workout

Pull-ups

Complete 10 reps

Rest 2 minutes.

Repeat 3 times.

An alternative option is assisted pull-ups. Using a set of resistance bands (just thick enough to achieve the prescribed reps) secured around your bar and locked under foot, perform pull-ups as described above.

Box Jump

Perform 10 box jumps.

Rest for 1 minute.

Complete 3 rounds.

Push-ups

Complete 20 reps.

Rest 1 minute.

Repeat 3 times.

For this obstacle it’s all about technique. Keep a low centre of gravity as you move up the ladder, and make sure you keep three points of contact at all times (i.e. – two hands and a foot). Don’t bend over the rung when getting over the top. And watch out for your fellow Mudders—no one likes having their fingers crushed.

Taking on Ladder to Hell requires a variety of strength and skills, as well as teamwork in order to accomplish it. Go in knowing you can have help from others and you can help others.

Now that you’ve had the obstacle low-down, but the training to the test at a Tough Mudder near you.
