Ninja Warrior Training — Wednesday Night

Midweek on the rig

A Wednesday-night obstacle session on the Ninja Warrior rig, after a full day of campaigning.

Obstacle training is mostly a grip-strength problem wearing a costume. Nearly every obstacle ends when the hands give out, which is why the training looks less like a gym workout and more like repeated attempts at the same hold until it fails. Forearms and finger flexors are the limiting factor long before the shoulders are.

Doing it at the end of a campaign day rather than instead of one is the part worth noticing.
