honk Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Looks nice, but how deep are those ledges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Raftopoulos Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks guys. Ledges 2, 3, 4, and majority of 6 are 3cm / 1.18" thick. The short 5th one and very beginning of 6 th one are double that. The first one I think is 4cm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 haven't practiced this in a while but felt easy for the most part. Usually I use momentum and let go with both hands at the 3rd transition part but I was able to make it with just reaching with one. I think I didn't have the grip strength to do that in the past and one guy told me before that it's not even possible. At the last transition I grab the bar behind so it's not a perfect clear. This is considered one of the most difficult obstacles of ninja warrior finals stage 3. Nice shirt. Awesome training! That really looked easy for you. I think one of the problems with the course is that they stick this near the end when you're already gassed by 7 previous obstacles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's good to train like that as well. Stage 3 is also the same day as stage 2, so if you progress to stage 3 I don't think that you really get much time to rest, especailly since only a handful of guys make it to that point.
