Amateur Climber Tries Homemade Ninja Warrior Course for the First Time!

[@SoumilSahu]

The fact that you're able to these with HORRIBLE technique scares me, because that means you're insanely strong.

[@caseycronan9217]

Awww, I want one of these grownup playgrounds in my apartmet building's backyard!

[@rachrbonez1335]

i personally think the owner of my apartment building is wasting a lot of space on that roof of his... might just have to capitalize on that😂

[@alexbenjaminrosenthal3989]

How many days for average climber to learn all of these obstacles?

[@ianbroadbooks1429]

I just went to a ninja gym for the first time last weekend. I’ve been climbing for two years. Days are the wrong units to measure how long ninja obstacles take to learn. Months or years would be more apt. These weren’t even a lot of the hard obstacles. On top of strength necessities, there’re huge technical elements as well

[@drnotme9016]

It depends on alot of things but if you are good at kipping then you will be able to do it

[@GeekClimber]

I think I should be able to do the ring toss next time I visit Leland, but lache bars and warped walls feel impossible, haha.

[@joshjones3733]

An average climber should be able to do most of the obstacles. Where climbers struggle is in the dynamic obstacles

[@CoachAlexK]

You're brave to try ninja for the first time at a backyard course like this! They are always so sketchy after a couple years of sun and rain. If you're ever in northern CA and want to try something a little bigger, I run a huge indoor ninja gym - drop me a message and we can train! It's the one in this magnus vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnrGk6CVg8eCiqs

[@lelandferguson1164]

This was my first build. Started it last year. There aren't many ninja gyms available so I decided to build my own in my backyard.... Not bad so far, considering.

[@GeekClimber]

I saw that Magnus video before! That's a super awesome ninja warrior gym and I would love to visit it some day! I will let you know when I had the chance to travel to northern CA!

[@CoachAlexK]

@@lelandferguson1164 OH man, I didn't see how my comment would read from your perspective.. I'd probably be offended too. I truly meant no disrespect! I started training at homebuilt backyard courses too (Campbell's in Santa Cruz, Huewe's in Clovis), and I still love that grassroots feel. It just a reality of outdoor wood builds that they will degrade; no fault of your own. Your setup is great - such a huge volume of obstacles in a compact space, and much safer than most with all the padding you have down. Please let me extend the same offer to you: if you're ever up in the bay, drop me a line to come by any time. And actually I'd love to train at your gym too next time I'm in SD, if you'd have me.

[@CoachAlexK]

@@GeekClimber For sure!! Average Climber meets Average Ninja 😂

[@AlbertOkay]

Ninja Warrior obstacles are so difficult to do the first time, honestly you killed it! I'm sure you'll be able to breeze through with a little practice! BEAST...also this guy's backyard gym is INSANE

[@GeekClimber]

Haha, I should've been able to complete the ring toss. Can't wait to see your next video!

[@n3v3r1s4]

As someone who has trained gymnastics as a kid but then stopped, and got very sedentary before I started getting back into basic shape again in recent years, I loled throughout this video 😂 See, while your strength is very impressive, it's interesting to see how dynamic movement isn't something you're used to (yet), in fact in many of these situations your instinctive reaction is more climbing technique (must tense that core for stability and energy conservation whenever feet arent landed!), but you struggle how to swing and lache and stuff like that (and it reminds me of how I've tried some extremely basic gymnastics tumbling recently, and promptly developed a rhomboid spasm so, you know, very relatable =P ). It's definitely a very different type of technique, it's just a matter of learning it (your basic strength is definitely good enough for these specific obstacles at least), I have no doubt you can do it if you put your mind to it hehe.

[@lelandferguson1164]

Yes it's basic gymnastics training at the core level, but most of us as adults have forgotten what it's like to swing naturally and properly.

[@kozokosa9289]

I think what you need to do is work on your dynamic movenent, momentum is extremely useful in ninja warrior because it helps work against fatigue.

[@AlejandroPerez-mg3fc]

Strength:9 Explosiveness:3

[@brayden3041]

Love this video I hope you do some more ninja stuff in the future! I’m actually a ninja athlete and I love the sport.

[@GeekClimber]

I will definitely make more ninja warrior videos as long as Leland lets me in his backyard!

[@TheValinov]

3:05 lol... looks like you never swinged in your life!? ... next video: geek learns to swing on a playground in 14 days :D

[@lelandferguson1164]

The most basic technique, but not practiced alot as an adult. Even I had to practice again to get used to swinging.

[@colehibbard2851]

I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@luffebassen]

Yes I was shocked. In Denmark this is basic play in kindergarten.

[@mihkelhint]

Another average climber here who has also tried these few times. Most of this stuff becomes way easier if you just go much faster and/or use your momentum more. You come off as some badass showing off how strong you are, but it is actually become you completely suck at using momentum and doing them the easy way :D Like the devil steps, if you just go as fast as you can you are strong enough to do bunch of laps there in a row lol. Or with the rings, I think you are actually strong enough to do the hardest variation there which would be crossing aye.

[@cyrus3665]

[@simons3134]

[@Psg0000]

Please do more! Ninja warrior obstacles imo is a lot more fun than regular climbing

[@freembeem]

You are so fun and funny! I love watching you, and you inspire me to make videos, and be funny! THANK YOU!

[@hangugeohaksaeng]

Thanks for a fun video Geek Climber.

[@sithewok4616]

I wanna see a video on you learning to do planches! Love your muscle up videos

[@CWTHenrik]

I am a boxer but love exploring different strength training methods and how I wish I have this ninja thingy to play with in my house!!

[@ratatacks]

It's amazing how it looks like you already have a lot of upper body strength and the obstacles were still super difficult

[@lelandferguson1164]

He is super strong, but with practice and technique added, we'll get him to master it in no time.

[@user-vv2iv6kk1x]

Time to do your American Ninja Warrior casting video! and then compete on TV!

[@miroslavmusalek9194]

3:40 you just fell into a lava man, game over :D

[@BenEcho]

We teach Ninja Warrior on our channel! Amazing effort and i think you learned how body awareness and coordination is much more important than people think. Its not always about strength. Keep it up!

[@lelandferguson1164]

I took many ideas and inspiration from you guys when I built the course and continue to modify it. Next obstacle in mind is Rumbling Dice. Just don't know where to thread my piping for the flanges.

[@BenEcho]

@@lelandferguson1164 Hey! haha i believe you are referring to backyard Ninja Warrior Blueprints for obstacle design. We are just two ninja warrior coaches giving fitness and technique advice. They have some great tips too!

[@BankruptMonkey]

Wow, I'd love to see how he made that!

[@lelandferguson1164]

I can send you the initial build and sketches I made

[@BankruptMonkey]

@@lelandferguson1164 Thank you for the offer but please don't go to the bother. I'd enjoy a video on reflecting on the process for entertainment value and would never actually build it. But thank you for the offer!

[@KinnikuNINJA]

Amazing effort! I always put a lot of pressure on myself to climb more to make me a better ninja but perhaps that isn't the case (you're a FAR better climber than me!) and some parts of ninja warrior need specific obstacle training.

[@HudsonKy]

He doesn’t listen very well to what the guy is saying 😂

[@n3v3r1s4]

tbf, it's a lot easier to listen when you're not already straining and hanging on for your dear life to start with =D

[@SoumilSahu]

It's harder to fight your body than you think it is, especially when it's trying a completely new movement pattern.

[@GeekClimber]

It's surprisingly hard to kip and use momentum haha.

[@verifyy7454]

Would love to get into rock climbing soon

[@Gastonwebbe]

The trainer was very encouraging!

[@lelandferguson1164]

He Geekclimber is very coachable. He's fun to climb with.

[@yuteyang6811]

Geek climber, who constantly level up the word "Normal climber", and made me felt sorry for my strength.

[@jonkrause6714]

Momentum campusing? 😝 Some good fails. Always good to halve variety of exercises (away from climbing) to determine where your weaknesses are. Great fun! Thanks.

[@essskevin81101]

Ok. Good. Nice. Feel the swing. Here you go. Yep. Thats it. Keep going. Beautifull. YEAAAAAH

[@drdeadbeat1604]

That looks so hard! Well done man!

[@lelandferguson1164]

He did really well for his very first time on my course. Proud of him for his effort and accomplishment.

[@hollowkenshy3850]

You'll should try to hold a straddle planche for at least 3 seconds

[@everbtw]

Strength: 8 Fearless: 2 Explosiveness: 4 Technique: 6 I feel like if he gets more practice he'll stop being afraid and will do everything so much better.

[@muhammadakbar4647]

Yoo dude How is your front lever progression going on?

[@ketjappkip6347]

Wow i love your vids

[@mehitsanthony]

no offense, but considering your pullup strength (PULL UP MY WIFE!!!), i'd expect you to easily hold one arm lock-offs. maybe you should train it?

[@MattVentures]

yo GeekClimber I am curious to know how your 1 arm pullup has progressed? Is it easier or harder than muscle up?

[@qin3795]

The one arm pull-up is way harder than the muscle-up. Shouldn't take him too long to get it though, considering his strength in the weighted pull-up

naaa no creo

I mean No offense, but how are you so bad at using momentum for the swinging movements? Doesn't every kid learn how to swing in the play ground? I expected the lache obstacle to be easy for you after seeing some og your other videos, but i guess you have mainly practiced strength......
