Diy Salmon Ladder

A salmon ladder is a training obstacle that consists of a series of angled rungs that are attached to two vertical supports. It is used to develop upper body strength, grip strength, and coordination.

To build a DIY salmon ladder, you will need:

• Two 4×4 posts, 12-15 feet long
• One 2×6 board, 8 feet long
• Eight 2×4 boards, 8 feet long
• Pressure-treated lumber
• Hardware (screws, nails, etc.)
• Saw
• Drill
• Measuring tape
• Level

Instructions:

1. Dig two holes, 3 feet deep and 42 inches apart.
2. Set the 4×4 posts in the holes and backfill with concrete or dirt.
3. Attach the 2×6 board to the top of the 4×4 posts using screws or nails.
4. Cut the 2×4 boards into rungs. The rungs should be angled at 30 degrees.
5. Attach the rungs to the 4×4 posts using screws or nails.
6. Space the rungs evenly apart, about 12-18 inches.

Once your salmon ladder is complete, you can start using it to train! Here are a few exercises you can try:

• Salmon ladder climb: Start at the bottom of the ladder and climb to the top, one rung at a time.
• Salmon ladder traverse: Start at the bottom of the ladder and traverse to the other side, one rung at a time.
• Salmon ladder pull-up: Start at the bottom of the ladder and hang from the top rung. Perform a pull-up, then lower yourself down and move to the next rung.

You can also modify these exercises to make them more challenging or easier. For example, you can wear a weighted vest or backpack, or you can use a shorter or taller ladder.

Be sure to warm up before using your salmon ladder and cool down afterwards. And always listen to your body and don’t push yourself too hard.
