BODYWEIGHT LEVELS

Gear by level

You need almost nothing.

Levels 1 to 7 need a wall and a floor. Here's the short list for the rest, by level, with the exact kind of piece we'd buy. Links are affiliate links: no extra cost to you, a small commission to us. Full disclosure.

Level1–4

Wall and floor

Nothing to buy. A wall, a floor, and two sets of fifteen.

Level5

Full push-up

A mat is enough. Handles let you go a little deeper without wrist strain.

Level6–7

One arm, knees

Knee padding matters once you're loading one arm.

Level8

Hand on a box

Anything stable and 8 to 12 inches high. A plyo box lasts for every ladder after this one.

Level9

Band assist

A long loop band anchored overhead takes a little weight off the working arm.

Level10 +

Beyond the ladder

Once Level 10 is clean, add load, or start the next ladder.
