The last one I did was when my kids were in cub scouts, the parents against the kids. I was in front of one lady when the match started. There were a lot more kids than parents and they ultimately won. The lady I was next to, I got up close and personal with, her bra pulled up at some point and we rubbed together most deliciously.

To improve ability, squats, deads, rows are a given.
Ability to keep standing takes some other skills. Try tai chi, box jumps and anything that makes you keep your balance under challenge: i.e. soccer, rugbyoh and gecko that link did not contain answers only the search page - swiftness_02

Get a length of rope the same diameter as the rope you Tug Of War with, secure it to your car on flat ground, and practice pulling it to you, hand over hand.Originally Posted by umadimbeta
