You will experience some difficulty in doing this, and your first attempt will no doubt result in a mere scramble up, but persevere until success rewards your efforts.

There is another method you may try—viz., to bring the leg up through the hands, and, with a good swing, bring yourself up, as in [Fig. 8].

One method is perhaps as good as the other, but neither can be neatly performed without continual practice.

When in position, as in [Fig. 8], swing the right leg out behind, at the same time shifting the left leg backward until the bend of the knee catches the bar ([Fig. 9]).
