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
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: ua-cam.com/video/LIcbm_NbOTI/v-deo.html
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.
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!
@@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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
@@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!
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.
@@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!
Momentum campusing? 😝 Some good fails. Always good to halve variety of exercises (away from climbing) to determine where your weaknesses are. Great fun! Thanks.
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.
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......
what did you use to build the devil steps i was looking to build one for my backyard can you help please @geekclimber please so i know what materials i need to get to build em..
Hey can you make a video on mewing because you are a skilled grasper 😅and you talk from the right side of your mouth sorry i am not being rude but you should have a reason to check out mewing 😅😅 once again i am sorry
Awww, I want one of these grownup playgrounds in my apartmet building's backyard!
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😂
The fact that you're able to these with HORRIBLE technique scares me, because that means you're insanely strong.
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
Haha, I should've been able to complete the ring toss. Can't wait to see your next video!

@@GeekClimber For sure!! Average Climber meets Average Ninja 😂
How many days for average climber to learn all of these obstacles?

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
It depends on alot of things but if you are good at kipping then you will be able to do it
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.
An average climber should be able to do most of the obstacles. Where climbers struggle is in the dynamic obstacles
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 ).

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.
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.
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.
I will definitely make more ninja warrior videos as long as Leland lets me in his backyard!
Strength:9
Explosiveness:3
3:05 lol... looks like you never swinged in your life!? ... next video: geek learns to swing on a playground in 14 days :D
The most basic technique, but not practiced alot as an adult. Even I had to practice again to get used to swinging.
I was thinking the same thing 😂
Yes I was shocked.
In Denmark this is basic play in kindergarten.
Please do more! Ninja warrior obstacles imo is a lot more fun than regular climbing
I wanna see a video on you learning to do planches! Love your muscle up videos
It's amazing how it looks like you already have a lot of upper body strength and the obstacles were still super difficult
He is super strong, but with practice and technique added, we'll get him to master it in no time.
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!!
You are so fun and funny! I love watching you, and you inspire me to make videos, and be funny! THANK YOU!

Thanks for a fun video Geek Climber.
Would love to get into rock climbing soon
Time to do your American Ninja Warrior casting video! and then compete on TV!

Haha, I don't think I am qualified to go onto the real show.
AHHH, so ur illegal🤣🤣
Wow, I'd love to see how he made that!
I can send you the initial build and sketches I made
@@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!
3:40 you just fell into a lava man, game over :D
The trainer was very encouraging!
He Geekclimber is very coachable. He's fun to climb with.
Momentum campusing? 😝 Some good fails. Always good to halve variety of exercises (away from climbing) to determine where your weaknesses are. Great fun! Thanks.
You'll should try to hold a straddle planche for at least 3 seconds
Yoo dude
How is your front lever progression going on?
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?
That looks so hard! Well done man!
He did really well for his very first time on my course. Proud of him for his effort and accomplishment.
He doesn’t listen very well to what the guy is saying 😂
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
It's harder to fight your body than you think it is, especially when it's trying a completely new movement pattern.
It's surprisingly hard to kip and use momentum haha.
Wow i love your vids
Hello, could you teach me some exercise to have more forearm, thanks!
Geek climber, who constantly level up the word "Normal climber", and made me felt sorry for my strength.
Do you remember about front lever ???
i cant wait to see you defeat the last boss in ninja climber universe
magnus "chalk" midtbo
Ok. Good. Nice. Feel the swing. Here you go. Yep. Thats it. Keep going. Beautifull. YEAAAAAH
Damn I been waiting for this crossover for yeara
We're talking about doing another video session on the specifics of the course.
@@lelandferguson1164 nice,go 4 it
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.
Is the figure 4 technique allowed for the ring toss? Would it even make it easier?
I'm not sure what that is yet, but I'll research it and try it out myself.
I expected you to complete lache bars
You didn't do the salmon ladder!
Geek Climber where's the "former average guy learns the front lever video"?!
Geek Climber: Alright, now I mean business...
*takes off shoes/slides*
🤣
You saw that too? Funny
Dope
How the front lever going?
For how strong you look climbing and doing muscle ups, it was crazy seeing how bad you were at things like the warped wall and lache bars 😂
Strength doesn't automatically grant you technique
Nice job Jason! Leland - Where's my invite???
Come on over any time Kim!
Love vids
This guy is going to trade his hair for unlimited power
this is epic
Ahh yes geek climber the classic amateur climber
Can you not hang from one arm ??!
Could see you doing well with Ninja Warrior, but I think you'd need to loosen up your body a bit and work more on explosive strength.
How can you do slow muscle up and be so weak?
I want to see you there.
You might want to check out Anton Fomenko's channel, he's a great ninja warrior content creator (ua-cam.com/users/fomajc)
Former average guys learns one arm pull up in ... Days
Can we see the average guy learn to do the planche
yo GeekClimber I am curious to know how your 1 arm pullup has progressed? Is it easier or harder than muscle up?
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
How to Geek Climber
STEP 1 *flail arms in front of your face*
STEP 2 profit
Your appearance are similar to Yuuji Urushihara
Yuuji Urushihara is a beast! Saw both of his total victories on TV!
Front lever
Dx i always thought it was.easy when i watched these things but now i realise i coule never which is sad but meh
Average ninja learns on backyard course.
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......
Soy el único que habla español??
naaa no creo
Def a nerd.
Can't even swing like every kid learns in kindergarten.
Can not run fast.
But all that being said, I'm very impressed with your MU videos.
Could you please improve the audio on the next video? It was a bit distracting
ay first
Learn backflip
Ok no offense but u look 20 and 12 at the same time
Wait, a whole video and no "And then, THIS happened?" UNSUBSCRIBED
First
13th comment
his swing is crap

Hey can you make a video on mewing because you are a skilled grasper 😅and you talk from the right side of your mouth
