Athlete breaks record for flying bar jumps on Italian TV.

Being in the Navy never had to jump from one bar to another. Did some bar hopping in my day however.

Hey - we did that at Kent State - bar hopping.

When I joined the Army the “horizontal ladder” was part of our PT Test. We used to do that just screwing around.

The big difference between that and the horizontal ladder is that instead of going from rung to rung, you have to take the rung with you and bridge a pretty big gap. I can see how that would be hard. You not only have to jump the bar, you have to get the distance right. I think it would be very difficult.

I always thought the horizontal ladder was a good part of the PT test. I could never figure out what they were actually testing with the inverted crawl though. I never saw any sense at all in that.

We used to have contests to see how many rungs we could jump. The smallest guys always kicked ass on that.

I started out bar hopping. By the end of the evening it was more like a pub crawl.
