Tom Kenobi Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 KELVIN ANTOINE!!! Homeboy is inspirational! Check out the vid in this article, it shows him doing the 'devil stairs'. Badass. "First, decide who you would be and then do what you must do." ~Epictetus Link to comment

Serenity Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Wow, missed it this week, but must record. We were watching something on TV and I made my roommate play the commercial, and then I made her slow down for that bar/ladder thing. Our other roommate came into the room and said, "Oh, that's not so hard if you're in shape." Um, that's a huge "if" for me...

Um, that's a huge "if" for me...Bar/ladder = 'salmon ladder'No worries about your roomie there Serenity, I don't think he/she knows what he/she is talking about - because every single competitor i've seen is in great shape and trains hard and only a small % make it through the qualifier - and that includes peopel who've qualified in years past on the same course, train hard, come back a year later and don't qualify. those courses are an awesome equalizer. I think its not just about strength and being in shape, but who has the best combination of attributes to get you through. can't wait to see the rest of the season!

LessJos Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I finally watched it last night (had it taped). WOW, I am hooked! I have never watched it before because I thought it is just another version of Wipeout or whatever it is called. Not even close!I am more than impressed :-) pre-AssassinClear eyes, full heart, can't lose!Twitter Link to comment

TheOtherScott Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Indeed I am. The Oil Change series sealed it. Plus the Bulldogs used to be the farm team, so there's that connection as well. PR's5k - 21:2910k - 47:26 43:2921.1 - 2:05:26 1:44:21 Link to comment
greenslam Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 This show is soo good. Just saw the mid south qualify one. Those guys are tough. Interesting to see that they are more of the 90's small type as opposed to the 70's big type style. It really made sense that the rock climbing guys were the best. Link to comment

So inspired to level up. No women getting through though. I see there are lots of parkour people though. I am not sure if it is that big in Canada or if it is just more of an underground sport people don't talk about. Can't wait to see what happens in Las Vegas. The short clips don't show anything about the obstacles. I can only imagine... pre-AssassinClear eyes, full heart, can't lose!Twitter Link to comment

I have seen in the last few weeks many women attempting the challenge. I've missed one show I think, my wife and I watch it with our girls and they've seen clips of the women not qualifying...I am hoping that they get to see a woman run the course at least. Still pretty epic though. "First, decide who you would be and then do what you must do." ~Epictetus Link to comment
Waldo Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 This show is soo good. Just saw the mid south qualify one. Those guys are tough. Interesting to see that they are more of the 90's small type as opposed to the 70's big type style. It really made sense that the rock climbing guys were the best.Most of the 70's big type are highly unbalanced between pressing strength and pulling strength.Pressing strength is pretty much useless on Ninja Warrior, nothing more than dead weight. You need loads of pulling strength though, and awesome pulling grip stamina.The 70's big type aren't typically able to bang out 50 pullups, or hang there one handed for a minute or more. That is the sort of strength that gets you through the obstacle course, not the strength to bench press a kajillion pounds.The 3 types that do well on Ninja Warrior are Gymnasts, Rock Climbers, and Parkour guys. currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic!
